Footage from 2009’s Coopers Hill Cheese Rolling race in Gloucestershire.  Why on earth anybody would do this is a complete mystery.

First prize is winning the cheese.

Second prize is £5.

No, not Sex Panther – it’s the genuine scent of Old Spice.

Bam!

Footage of a Russian IL-76 taking off – it’s a little slow to get started (both metaphorically and actually), but it’s quite something to witness all the way through.

According to wikipedia the maximum takeoff weight of one of these puppies fully laden is 157 tonnes.

The world is awesome.  Someone’s had the foresight to combat the leg-humping-dog problem by building a doggie sex doll.

The DoggieLoverDoll faux female features a silicone vagina and an “easy to clean reservoir.”

And think of all the throwaway excuses this give you – “Hi Mum, sorry I didn’t answer the phone – I was just busy hosing dog spunk out of the realistic silicone reservoir”.
