His parents must be so proud. He is simply the best at what he does... and he proved it at a tournament event in New York this week.<br />
<br />
Tim Janus is the world record holder for the longest burp. 18.1 glorious seconds.<br />
<br />
Janus drank lots of fizzy stuff... and then stepped to the microphone. 'I was just trying to condense all the air in my stomach and bring it to the surface,' said winning competitor Janus.<br />
<br />
'You just have to force every last bit of air up. It's beautiful, really.'<br />
<br />
The event is organized by the World Burping Federation (yes, really) which hopes to help make loud burping-in-public acceptable and appreciated.<br />
<br />

<br />
If you want to see (and hear) the video of this epic record... the entire burp... here is the video. (Warning: after listening to this, I suspect that it will <b>not</b> accomplish what the WBF is hoping for.)<br />

<br />
Realizing that her life was in danger, Blanca went out the door, She ducked down low and ran away. Fortunately, she came to a car that was open... and jumped in for refuge. Then, she realized that the car was running. When she saw that the robbers weren't behind her, she sped away.<br />
<br />
She drove down the road to escape and finally stopped at a store and begged for help.<br />
<br />
Blanca was safe... but without realizing it, she had stolen the robbers get-away car.<br />
<br />
Blaca is fine. She was initially arrested for car theft but when the police investigated her story, they cleared the young mother of all charges. <br />
<br />
The robbers got away with an undisclosed amount of cash... but had to steal another car for their get-away.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>O give me a home where the buffalo roam.... </i></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">for most people, those are simply the first words in the old folk song, "</span><a href="http://www.kididdles.com/lyrics/h020.html" style="font-family: inherit;">Home on the Range</a><span style="font-family: inherit;">." For RC and Sherron Bridges, however, they are a daily reality. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">RC (aka the Buffalo Whisperer) share a home in Quinlan, Texas with two buffalo, Wildthing (2,400 pounds) and Bullet (900 poounds). The two beasts relax in the living room, walk around the house with freedom and even ride in the family car (well, on the back of the pickup). Incidentally, the animals aren't house trained. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">“They’re like my buddies. Bullet likes to be with me at all times, she’ll even give up food to be close to me.” says, RC, a former cowboy. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Indeed they are all "buddies." When RC and and Sherron renewed their wedding vows, Wildthing acted as the best man, carrying the rings and other things on his rather sizable horns. For family entertainment, the buffalo have been used to pull RC's son on water-skis in the sand and pulled his daughter on a snow sled. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Unsafe you say? Only if you consider that Wildfire weighs 2400lbs with 2 foot horns and can run 40mph. Bullet is a smaller female buffalo... who was unable to be controlled by the owner of a buffalo herd. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Bridges love their pets and the buffalo seem to love them. They respect the potential dangers and give them good care... but the arrangement is a bit rough on the furniture. </span><br />

Once again, we can be thankful for people who are looking out for our children's psychological well-being and overall warm-fuzziness.<br />
<br />
In England, some primary schools are adopting a "no best friends" policy. That is, they discourage the children from having best friends.<br />
<br />
"Why???" you ask.<br />
<br />
One might suspect that the reasoning behind this policy would be to avoid cliques on the playground. Not so. The reason that children should not have a best friend is because having a best friend presents the possibility of having a "falling out" with the best friend which will hurt feelings and, in turn, damage the child's psyche. <br />
<br />
Since it is important to spare a child any negative experiences, lose close friendships. That sounds like sound advice for psychological well-being. (??!?)<br />

However, a town in New Jersey is cracking down on text-<i>walkers</i>. In the past month, police in Fort Lee have issued 117 tickets for reckless walking... each with a price tag of $85.<br />
<br />
Really? Reckless walking?<br />
<br />
It may not be quite as ridiculous as it seems. Apparently the town has had 20 incidents of people who have been struck by cars because they are texting-while-walking. Police chief Thomas Ripoli said: 'Pedestrians aren't watching where they're walking, they're not aware.'<br />
<br />
That would agree with the finding of a ground-breaking scientific (?) study by Stony Brook University in NY which found that people who are walking while texting are 60% more likely to veer off line than others. (wondering... did someone actually pay to have that study done???)<br />

Do you have a dangerous/annoying driver in your neighborhood? The neighbors of Zbigniew Filo got fed up with his driving and came up with a unique solution: They hoisted his customized car... and put it on top of a tree.<br />
<br />
"...Filo, 24, awoke to find his car missing, later locating it on top of a huge willow tree in Lubczyna, Poland. Locals have maintained a code of silence over who was responsible for the prank or how indeed the white Ford Escort ended up 20ft in the air, though one villager revealed that a crane had been borrowed for the night.<br />
<br />
Police spokesman Marta Pierko said: 'We received a call from a man saying his car was stuck in a tree, and that his neighbours had put it there. 'After inspecting the site we instructed him to remove it from the tree.'<br />
<br />
A local, who wished to remain nameless, was unsympathetic to Filo's vehicular plight, saying: 'Whoever, or whatever, it was, it’s probably a good thing as he was a dangerous driver and could have killed someone. 'Perhaps he’ll think twice about his hair-raising driving and about getting a licence or who knows where his next car might end up?'<br />
<br />
Filo, who doesn’t even have a licence, has promised to be more considerate in his driving in future. 'I get the message,' he said. 'But I think it was a bit harsh.'"<br />

If you would like to save a little money each week, here is an idea (?) that was posted by a reader at the <a href="http://notalwaysright.com/">Not Always Right </a>blog.<br />
<br />
<i>I’m eating a hamburger. I see the man next to me carefully picking a slab of cheese out of his burger, wrapping it in a paper napkin, and eating the rest of the burger. It puzzles me, so I ask him about it.</i><br />
<br />
<b>Me:</b> *point at napkin* “Excuse me, but why did you do that?”<br />
<br />
<b>Man</b>: “Oh, every time I eat a burger, I set one ingredient aside. At the end of the week, I have a free burger!”<br />
<br />

It would appear that Americans don't have a monopoly on waste, over-indulgence and generally pointless pastimes.<br />
<br />
Last week in Russia, Mr. Alexander Valov won the caviar speed-eating crown in Moscow. He won it by eating half a kilogram (1 lb. 6 oz.) of black cavier in just one minute and 26 seconds.<br />
<br />
Hundreds of guests, many dressed in suits, attended the event at The Apartment Restaurant in Moscow where 12 contestants were picked to compete at random.<br />
<br />
Black caviar is salted, unfertilized sturgeon roe (unfertilized fish eggs). It is a highly sought delicacy in Russia. <br />
<br />
In terms of volume, Mr Valov's accomplishment is similar to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathan's_Hot_Dog_Eating_Contest">World Hot Dog eating champion</a> (winner Joey Chestnut eats over 6 hot dogs per minute). However, this contest is more high-class and considerably more expensive. Mr. Valov's 1.5 minutes of glory cost around $6,000 (£3,000). The event organizers spent nearly $70,000 on caviar for the participants. <br />
