So, you currently live the holiday here in South Africa. But what happens if you’d like to go and live it in France like Seth does for a month once a year? Well, now you can! With the FREE iTunes Google Translate app. Basically this is what Google refers to as “a small glimpse at the future of search.”
A valiant effort was made late last Wednesday by two daring would-be Mexican immigrants. The two, suited up in full wetsuits, made an assault on Imperial Beach, just a few kilometres south of San Diego with the aid of dive scooters. Until a US Customs and Border Protection helicopter crew spotted them.
Nasa has discovered a new habitable planetary system. Needless to say, calling the new system part of the Kepler-11 is mildly ironic considering what is being sent to orbit the pitches and dressing rooms of the approaching Cricket World Cup. But we won’t go there and that’s not what this is about either, it’s much more important.
A competition has just kicked off looking for “Stephenie Meyer’s Biggest Superfan”, with South Africa identified as one of the 10 biggest Twilight countries in the world. This should also explain why Nelson Mandela was in hospital last week.
It’s good to see our antipodean friends still have a sense of humour after all the flooding and disaster that’s hit them. An enterprising couple looked out their bedroom window yesterday, saw the river was coming down hectically and decided to go for a joy ride on blow up dolls when the plan, well, blew up in their faces.
At 12:00PM on Saturday, the 8th of January 2011, three monstrously tough unicyclists and their support car will arrive in at Mouille Point lighthouse after completing a 44-day off-road tour, from Durban to Cape Town, on UNICYCLES.
2oceansviber and extreme marathon runner, Ryan Sandes has become the very first person in the biological history of human kind to run and win all four of the 4 Deserts marathon series. The last race, which took place in sub-zero Antarctica, saw Sandes take control of the the lead early on, and never relinquish it. There you have it, conclusive proof that 2oceansvibers are stronger, smarter, and more likely to posses the necessary skills to inspire submission than any other group of people.
God, I love living in the future. Don’t you? Four driverless, electric vans arrived in Shanghai yesterday after a 13,000km ‘test drive’ from Italy. They had no maps, and they stopped to pick up a hitchhiker on the way.
The sudden appearance of a crocodile onboard a routine flight in the Democratic Republic of Congo led to the plane crashing, killing 20. Only one passenger survived the crash, along with the crocodile; the crocodile was then killed with a machete. We’re not sure why this movie hasn’t been made yet.
Singapore – Doesn’t suck We’re already living in a global village. So the idea of national borders is becoming increasingly strained. Gallup has released data describing where in this big village respondents would re-locate if exorbitant costs (i.e. Visas and travel fees) and international borders weren’t part of the process. “Sulplise!” Most people said they’d […]
No spice, the Dutch soccer team needs a place to stay. While the Uruguayans were getting an undeserved peaceful night’s sleep in Newlands (despite a small Twitter campaign calling for Capetonians to please “not” blow vuvuzelas and bang drums outside their rooms), the dutchies were bumming around the Cape of Good Hope looking for a […]
Green Point is ramping up the killer World Cup vibes. Most of us frenzied Capetonian vibers will already know this, but those of you from outta-town will most definitely appreciate this vibe. You know the London Eye? Well…
ESPN is a great repository for sporting news. Especially news from the Baltic states. Take Finland, for example. Finland is the home of Sauna (that’s right, with a capital “S”). This relaxing past tie has been exported in various forms and varieties the world over, such is humankind’s love for a good, cleansing sweat. But […]
Our more trippy readers might know that the Afrika Burns festival, South Africa’s newest excuse to get totally baked in the desert, wrapped up on Tuesday after five brightly-coloured days of parallel universes, flying dragons and fire. And lets not forget the odd bout of “let’s chain the 11 year olds to the front of […]
My buddy David Grier is in the mix again – and this time is slightly different to his earlier vibes, when he completed the first ever joint continuous run of the Great Wall of China, some 4000km in 98 days. Ja, I thought that might refresh your memory! So check this out – he’s taking […]
