If your a fan of “The Office” than join Michael Scott in: Michael Scott’s Dunder Mifflin Scranton, Meredeth Palmer Memorial, Celebrity Rabies awareness fun Run, Pro-Am race for the cure!

On the other hand, if you’re not willing to run 5,000 miles, but you do want to show your support for Rabies awareness then you can buy a “Support the Rabid” bracelet (in order to raise awareness to the fact that there is a cure for rabies)!

Below is a short clip from the Fun Run Episode of “The Office”:

P.S. I just ordered a couple bracelets and looked everywhere for them. They cost about $5 at the NBC store which was cheaper than anywhere else. Let me know if you find them for less, but they were selling on eBay for almost $15… Ouch!

Barabus Sportscars (a specialty engine and vehicle manufacturer) recently unvailed what is being hailed as the worlds fastest steet legal car. The Barabus TKR produces 1005 horsepower and the automaker says is capable of doing zero to 60 mph in 1.67 seconds! Even crazier is that the car has a reported top speed of 270 mph (almost 20mph faster than the Bugatti Veyron). The powerplant in the Barabus TKR is a 6.0 liter V8 twin-turbocharged engine with dual intercoolers. The car has a full carbon fiber body and chassis. It appears as though the automaker will sell the car for about $500,000 and there will be between 300 and 400 produced within the 3 year production run.

My friend Bobby just sent me a link to this SNL skit entitled “Iran so Far Away”. Its another Andy Samberg creation and although I dont think it is as good as the Emmy award winning Dick in a Box skit with Justin Timberlake, it is definately going to be another classic! This time Andy teams up with Adam Levine from Maroon 5. Let me know what you think!

In case you want to sing along here are the lyrics:
SNL?s ?Iran So Far? Lyrics
They say true love comes only once in a lifetime
And even though we?re from opposite ends of the earth
My heart tells me you?re the one for me

Mahmood, I remember when it started, saw you on the news
You hating gays, I was eating food
I was feeling you, and even though I disagree with almost everything you said
You ain?t wrong to me, so strong to me, you belong to me
Like a very hairy Jake Gyllenhaal to me
Mahmoud, make my heart beating out of my chest
my mind says no but my body says yes
You ain?t no threat, the only threat I see, is the threat of you not coming home with me
Our love for each other is like when atoms collide
Can?t express how I feel, and yo Adam let?s ride

And Iran, Iran so far away is your home, but in my heart you?ll stay

He ran, for the president of Iran
We ran together to a tropical island
My man, Mahmoud is known for violence
Smiling, if he can still do it then I can
They call you weasel, they say your methods are medieval
You can play the Jews, I can be your Jim Caviezel

S&M, when we?re wrestlin?
You can be the port that I put my vessel in
So I try to do it but you can still see me
With your sleepy brown eyes, butter pecan thighs
And your hairy butt? Yeah.

And Iran, Iran so far away
Come home, and in my arms you?ll stay
Used to look at the stars and dream
Around the world the same stars we?re seeing
And a twinkle in your eyes Mahmoud

Talk smooth to me, in the night sky
With you pants high waisted, damn so fly
We can take a trip to the animal zoo
And laugh at all the funny things that animals do
Like Eugene, you got me straight trippin? boo
Hope you look at my eyes and say I?m trippin? too
You say what but they already do
You should know by now, it?s you

You crazy for this world Mahmoud
So give us another Holocaust all you want
But you can?t deny that there?s something between us
I know you say there?s no gays in Iran
But you?re in New York now baby
So time to stop hating and start living

If you recently started shopping for a car in the $1,500,000 range than you?re just a tad too late because all of the new Lamborghini Reventon’s have already been spoken for. (I guess your going to have to settle for one of those “dime a dozen” Ferrari Enzos or Bugatti Veyrons)

The Lamborghini was revealed at the Frankfurt auto show in Geneva not long ago. Lamborghini will be producing only 20 of these supercars and they were exclusively offered to “friends and collectors” at a price of $1.4 to $1.6 million dollars.

So what makes this supercar so special? Well, the Reventon was inspired by the F-22 Raptor fighter jet and the exterior is made entirely of carbon fiber laid over a carbon fiber and steel frame. The Lamborghini Reventon shares much in common with the LP640 and makes just slightly more horsepower (650hp to be exact). The interior however has been completely reworked and the Reventon’s instrument panel, (modeled after that in a modern jet), is comprised of three customizable liquid crystal displays that displays all your instruments, including a G-force display that shows longitudinal forces in a 3-dimensional image.

“Our designers at the Lamborghini Style Centre took the technical base of the Murci?lago LP640 and Read more…

For those of you that are tired of NASCAR, Formula 1, Speedboats, Off-Roading (and all the other boring 2 dimensional racing circuits) I have found a new sport for you! It?s called the Redbull Air Race and it’s about as intense as it gets! Specially built stunt planes fly through pylons on the ground at speeds of up to 250mph and pilots are made to withstand up to 10 G’s! The air race competition was created in 2003 by redbull and has quickly evolved into one of the most intense action sports on the planet. The Redbull Air Race world series spans seven venues across the world with races in Dubai, England, Spain, Rio De Janeiro, Australia, America…

This has proven to be an amazing spectator sport because the courses are very compact and the planes fly only a few meters off the ground, allowing spectators to get incredibly close to the airplanes and the air racing action (as you can see from the picture below)!

If you are in the Southern California area you have a rare opportunity to see an air race first hand this weekend in San Diego! The air race action will take place in the San Diego Bay and can be viewed from the North and South peninsulas of Embarcadero Marina Park. The qualifying rounds are on Friday September 21st and the finals (including the elimination rounds, quarter finals, semi-finals and final) are on Saturday the 22nd. Pilots fly against the clock through a slalom course consisting of specially designed pylons, known as ?Air Gates?. The Final rounds (known as the knockout rounds) consist of the two fastest pilots going head to head. Check out the video below for more information and some amazing video of the Redbull Air Races:

Check out a first place run from one of the recent Red Bull Air Races om Monument Valley Utah:

Wow… a portable beer pong table that inflates and floats in the pool! This has to be one of the best inventions ever. The only thing I don?t like about it is that I didn’t think of this myself. (Evan after all those years of beer pong and pool parties the thought never crossed my mind). I must say, a floating beer pong table is a must have all those who enjoy the sport of Beirut. For those that are unfortunate enough to have never played beer pong (AKA Beirut) you can click here to get caught up: beerpong crash course

I think that one of the greatest thing about having an inflatable beer pong table is that you can take it anywhere and it cleans up easy! No more having to buy expensive ping pong tables just to have them warped and beer soaked within a matter of months. No more having to make frantic runs to Home Depot to buy a sheet of plywood for your party. But perhaps best of all… if you play in the pool you can have uninterrupted beerpong tournaments without having to stop for bathroom breaks!!!!!

So you have been playing around with your friends iPhone and wish you could get one right? The only problem is that you want the iPhone without “THE PHONE”. Well… your prayers have been answered because Apple is about to release its new “Ipod Touch”. The iPod touch will have the same look and feel as an iPhone but it wont have a phone or camera. In addition it will be lighter and smaller than the iPhone and it will have built in WiFi for internet access in wifi hotspots! You will even be able to access iTunes to preview and buy music directly from the ipod Touch! The Ipod Touch will set you back $399 ($100 less than the iPhone) and it will come with 8 gigs of memory.

iPod Touch specs:

- Crystal clear 3.5 inch touch screen
- 8mm thick (compared to the iPhone which is 11.6 mm thick)
- 4.2 ounces (compared to the iPhone which weighs 4.8 ounces)

In case you were wondering what the number of billionaires in the world was this year… Forbes was recently able to track down an amazing 946 people that were worth over $1,000,000,000. The average net worth of all the billionaires was $3.6 Billion and the combined net worth of the 946 billionaires was $3,500,000,000,000 ($3.5 Trillion).
So who is the wealthiest billionaire you ask? Well its not very surprising that Bill Gates still holds the title of “Worlds Richest Person” for the 13th year in a row with a net worth of 56 billion. The biggest surprise however is that Carlos Slim Helu from Mexico fattened his wallet by about $19 billion in the last year to become the 3rd richest person with a new worth of $49 Billion! The list below shows the top ten billionaires and their net worth:

1 William Gates III is worth $56.0 billion dollars and currently resides in the United States
2 Warren Buffett is worth $52.0 billion dollars and also lives in the United States
3 Carlos Slim Helu is worth $49.0 billion dollars and currently resides in Mexico
4 Ingvar Kamprad & family is worth $33.0 billion dollars and currently lives in Switzerland
5 Lakshmi Mittal India is worth $32.0 billion dollars and resides in the United Kingdom
6 Sheldon Adelson is worth $26.5 billion dollars and currently resides in the United States
7 Bernard Arnault is worth $26.0 billion dollars and lives in France
8 Amancio Ortega is worth $24.0 billion dollars and resides in Spain
9 Li Ka-shing is worth $23.0 billion dollars and currently lives in Hong Kong
10 David Thomson & family is worth $22.0 billion dollars and currently resides in Canada

It’s a base jumpers dream come true! The Burj Dubai which literally means “Dubai Tower” in Arabic is well on its way to becoming the worlds tallest building. In fact it is estimated that once complete, the Burj Dubai will be 2,684 feet which will easily make it the tallest land-based structure to have ever been built (at over a half mile tall)!!!
The Burj Dubai skyscraper is the centerpiece of a new development under construction in Dubai (United Arab Emirates). The project was started in 2004 and with the help of 5,000 workers going around the clock (24 hours a day) this amazing building is scheduled for completion in late 2008! Even more amazing is that with this many workers, the Burj Dubai is being constructed at a rate of 1 floor every 3 days!!!! As of August 12th 2007 the Burj Dubai was 145 stories tall and stood at about 1,743 feet. Just to put that into perspective, the Sears Tower measures 1,729 feet at the very tip of its antenna.

Once complete, the Burj Dubai will be the world?s tallest man-made structure and the tallest building by any measure. The Burj is the centerpiece of a master planned development called ‘Downtown Dubai.’ The total budget for the Burj Dubai skyscraper project is about $4 billion US dollars and for the entire new ‘Downtown Dubai’ the budget is $20 billion US Dollars.
Within the Burj Dubai there will be a Giorgio Armani Hotel that will occupy the first 37 floors, numerous restaurants and 65 floors of private condos. (If you are thinking that this might be a good investment well you were probably right… because according to the developer all the residences sold within 8 hours of going on sale). Corporate offices and suites will fill most of the remaining floors, except for a 123rd floor lobby and 124th floor indoor/outdoor observation deck. An outdoor zero-entry swimming pool will be located on the 78th floor of the tower along with 3 other pools.

Finally, the Burj Dubai will also feature the world’s fastest elevator, rising and falling at a speed of 40 mph! Currently the world’s fastest elevator in the Taipei 101 office tower only does 37.6

Here is a video that shows the progress of the Burj Dubai from when they broke ground to 2006:

So you thought you were stylin in your $50,000,000 G5 business jet? Well there?s a new bird in town and it?s called the 787 V.I.P.
The 787 V.I.P. Boeing jet was recently introduced at the Business Aviation Conference & Exhibition in Dubai. The 787 VIP jet is scheduled to have its first test flight this month. Owners will be able to fly anywhere in the world non stop in ultimate luxury because the 787 VIP has a nautical range of almost 10,000 miles! Clients will be able to work with designers to mold the spacious cabin into a unique environment that exactly meets their tastes and needs. Regardless of if you are looking for a business office in the sky or a flying palace the possibilities are infinite, and depending on your exact setup, you can expect to have about 2,400 to 2,800 square feet of living space! (If you would rather think in terms of price per square foot it might be more easily justifiable at about $60,000/sq.ft.)

Boeing?s carbon-composite 787-8 model, which would seat up to 250 people (if configured as a commercial airliner) now has seven orders for private 787s or ?787 VIPs? as we like to call them. Boeing said It is pitching this ?mega-business jet? to wealthy entrepreneurs (and I emphasize WEALTHY) because the 787 VIP requires the type of buyer who can drop $153,000,000 on a jet! So who has this kind of money you ask? Well, Boeing recently announced that it received an order for a private 787 VIP airplane from Read more…
