New Zealand Has Giant Insects.

Not content with gaining the official title of ‘Home of Rugby‘ earlier this year, (albeit by just one point), New Zealand have gone and secured themselves the denomination of ‘Home of the World’s Largest Insect.’

This amazing picture was taken by adventurer Mark Moffett, a man who National Geographic described as: “the Indiana Jones of Entomology,” after he discovered the giant Weta up a tree on Little Barrier Island in New Zealand. Apparently Weta’s suffer from Island Gigantism a common side effect for species who are allowed to breed in practical isolation, (which explains why Brooke Shields’ boobies seemed to be growing at an alarming rate throughout the course of The Blue Lagoon…oh the memories) This Weta has now officially been declared the biggest insect in the world which can eat whole carrots and has a wing span of seven inches. Good luck sleeping tonight!

Saudi Trick Driving Is Insane!

Posted on September 23, 2011 by Big Red in WTF Booty and tagged car stunts in saudi, i heart chaos, insane car stunts, saudi arabia, saudi road skating, saudi trick driving.

In Saudi Arabia right now the in-thing for many young and filthy rich men is trick driving. Performing high speed stunts in expensive high powered cars on public motorways, with scant regard for the safety of others as this mesmerising ten minute video above demonstrates.

As you’ll see in the first two minutes alone the speeding car drifts and spins in front of a school bus and then a petrol tanker. And if driving like a Hollywood stuntman in public wasn’t insane and dangerous enough they get their equally deranged passengers to fire assault rifles out of the windows, because no car stunt would be complete without the presence of live ammunition.

Another ‘craze’ young Saudi men seem to be obsessed with is ‘Road Skating’, where passengers hang from moving vehicles and skate along the road with not even a single knee-pad in sight. You know if we were betting men…

Contender For Best Wipeout Of 2011.

Posted on July 16, 2011 by Big Red in Funny Booty and tagged bike jump gone wrong, bike jump videos, girl wipes out on bike into lake, girl wrecks hard on bike jump, i heart chaos, stunts, wipeout video.

Every now and then you’ll read or hear about a story involving an individual who was either paralysed for life or left horrifically scarred doing a relatively simple mundane task like changing a light-bulb, jumping off a trampoline or running for a bus.

These stories send a shiver up your spine because you think about how that could so easily happen to you. We don’t get those shivers. We only get those shivers when we think back to all the craziness and downright insanity that filled our childhoods, the dangerous risks we took, the scant regard we had for safety and the scrapes we often got ourselves into.

It’s a miracle we made it through our youth in one piece and videos, like the one above, serve as a reminder of those times…and that’s when the shivers begin.

Have An Assault Rifle? Have A Golf Ball Firing Assault Rifle.

Posted on February 9, 2011 by Big Red in WTF Booty and tagged AR-15 and M4 and M16 Golfball Launcher, assault rifle golf ball launcher, cheaperthandirt.com, i heart chaos, M16 golf ball attachment.

First of all this isn’t a rifle specifically made to fire golf balls because that would just be daft. Why on earth would you want a rifle which fired golf balls? This is an attachment you can fix on to your existing assault rifle, in case you have a M16, M4 or AR-15 sitting in your murder cupboard gathering dust, which allows you to fire golf balls. Makes much more sense now, doesn’t it?

Apparently the company selling this piece of hardware claim the launcher can fire golf balls up to 250 yards. That’s got to help towards shaving that handicap down. (via I Heart Chaos)

And what better way to demonstrate this application at work than a couple of rednecks in a forest. Thank the maker we only have midges to worry about in our woodlands.
