Fake survivorman fan found dead in Muskoka wilderness


Just before dawn on Thursday morning, Richard Code disappeared into the darkness and lit out for the Ontario wilderness, bringing little more than a few supplies and the skills he had learned from watching Survivorman, a reality show about subsisting in the bush.
The 41-year-old left behind a note, asking his landlady to call police if he failed to return by Sunday night. On Monday, she reported him missing and on Wednesday afternoon, Code’s body was found in a marshy, snowed-in area just north of Huntsville.
Police say Code’s death is not considered suspicious at this time and his brother Stephen Code said OPP have informed him that the cause of death was hypothermia. Unless your completely and totally bad ass like Les or Bear don't try to be cause you'll end up like this guy. I love these shows and the wilderness, but I still like to have a tent and other basic outdoors equipment. Click on the pic for the full story.

"A lot of us are screwed", admits porn star

Monica Mayhem had become accustomed to a certain degree of luxury in her sex life.
The Brisbane-born, US-based porn veteran once worked in Bel Air mansions, enjoying the pampering associated with dedicated costume designers and hefty budgets.
Then the internet came along. Like video killed the radio star, the bright lights of the world's pornographic film industry are being bound, gagged and held to ransom by the world wide web. Oh, boo hoo your still getting paid to have sex, must suck. Click on the pic for the full story.

Oops!

Some very special pieces of Canadian Olympic hockey equipment are missing.
The gloves and stick used by Sidney Crosby to score the winning goal in Canada's gold medal victory over the U.S. at the Vancouver Winter Olympics on Sunday are unaccounted for, Hockey Canada said Tuesday night. Crosby flung the equipment into the air after his overtime goal in Canada's dramatic 3-2 win.
"After the game, with all the celebration and everything, the equipment was all collected and it was being put in the players' bags," said Johnny Misley, Hockey Canada's executive vice-president of hockey operations. "(It) was noticed that Sidney's stick - that he scored the winning goal with - and his gloves, were missing.
"We're doing a little bit of an investigation to find out what happened."
Misley said the Hockey Hall of Fame initially requested Crosby's stick for its collection.
"There was a request for Sid's stick at the time, but at that time we knew it was missing so we couldn't give it to them." Oops, they "misplaced" the gold medal's too. Nah, they didn't but why would they even want this stuff? That's like wanting Michael Phelps speedo's from the last summer Olympic's, and why would you want that?

Chile earthquake may have shortened days


The massive 8.8 earthquake that struck Chile may have changed the entire Earth's rotation and shortened the length of days on our planet, a NASA scientist said Monday.
The quake, the seventh strongest earthquake in recorded history, hit Chile Saturday and should have shortened the length of an Earth day by 1.26 microseconds (millionths of a second), according to research scientist Richard Gross at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. I've noticed the difference right away, how about you? Click on the pic for the full story.

The Vancouver Games: A Gold in Drinking



The city of Vancouver and the ski village of Whistler are terrific hosts for these Olympic Games. The air is clean, the public transit is scarily efficient, and the harbors, with snowcapped mountains for a backdrop, are picturesque. Whistler, two hours to the north and home to the skiing, sliding and Nordic events, is a winter wonderland. But let's face it: if public intoxication were an Olympic sport, Vancouver and Whistler would own the podium. The ultimate confirmation came from John Powers, the Boston Globe's esteemed Olympics writer who has covered 17 Games, starting with Montreal in 1976. Since then, he has missed only one Olympics, Moscow in 1980, which the U.S. boycotted. When asked if Vancouver is setting Olympic records for revelry. "It is, by far," he said. "There's just a couple of thousand people every night with nothing to do, no tickets, concentrated downtown. It's their chance to live the dream. So it wasn't just the women's hockey team, which by the way made the men's team look like a bunch of sissy's for not getting loaded on the ice after their win. But apparently it's the whole country.
