Extreme Ironing (EI)

May 21st 2010 07:11
Extreme Ironing (or EI) is an extreme sport where participants take an ironing board to a remote location and iron items of clothing. It is the latest danger sport that combines the thrills of an extreme outdoor activity with the satisfaction of a well-pressed shirt.

Some locations where such performances have taken place include a mountainside of a difficult climb, a forest, in a canoe, while skiing or snowboarding, on top of large bronze statues, in the middle of a street, underwater, whilst parachuting, under the ice cover of a lake and many more.

See below some of the sport’s greatest athletes, for more visit the official site here.

There are typically 40 million bacterial cells in a gram of soil and a million bacterial cells in a millilitre of fresh water.
Bacteria are vital for the survival of life on earth especially in the recycling of nutrients.

Unattended Children Signs

May 12th 2010 04:53
"Unattended Children" warning signs sometimes seem to have no effect as parents let there kids run riot regardless.

The Numbers Behind Bacon

May 3rd 2010 01:30
