My Genes Were Drunk
23 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
You also bump into things, talk loud, take swipes at lamp shades and smash your fist through tempered glass when you’re drunk? Well, it’s not because we were simply raised that way. It’s not even the liquor. It’s Drunk Gene.

A Dry Niagra Falls
22 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
These photographs were shot in 1969, and were uncovered in some inocuous storage unit just last week. They’re a pretty fascinating documentary of a brief period in 1969 when the United States Army Engineer Corps dammed up the falls slightly upstream. It was the first time in thousands of years that the falls had run dry.

Kim Kardashian Thinks We’re “Totally Tubular”
20 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Kim and sis Khloe were stranded in Cape Town on the weekend and tweeted about it throughout their ordeal. There were talk of peeing, cries for help and a surreal tubular reference.
A Christmas reunion on someone’s dad’s side hanged in the balance as sad faces flew all over the place. It was a wild, wild ride. -
Merry Titmas
15 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
My, was I surprised by the results when I typed “christmas tree” “tits” into Google Images. There’s one with a guy stealing a tree, Paris Hilton and Britney Spears next to what could be a Christmas tree or just some tree and a card that says, ‘Merry Titmas’. Listen to me rambling on. Why don’t I just show you.

Crazy Animals [VIDEO]
15 Dec 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
We take a break in our schedule to give you a classic compilation of animals being hysterical. It’s so easy for us, as humans, to mock animals – we’re just so much more advanced than them. I mean, who came up with TV? And you don’t see them driving around in cars, right? God, they’re so thick! No internet for them either!

Tommy Lee Demands SeaWorld Stop ‘Interfering’ With Killer Whales Using Cow Parts
10 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
God, some headlines just write themselves. Happy Friday, by the way. PETA member and Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee has angrily written SeaWorld protesting their apparent use of killer whale Tilikum as a “chief sperm bank,” collecting ‘deposits’ with “a cow’s vagina filled with hot water.” What happened, Tommy Lee? You used to not be crazy.

Hail Storm In Krugersdorp [Mind-Blowing Video]
02 Dec 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 5 Comments
South Africa has it’s fair share of crazy weather conditions. Hell, right here in Cape Town we could be having a braai in Camps Bay watching the sunset, while Newlands is enjoying a monsoon and closing the curtains at 5pm. But I have a feeling only a few of you have ever experienced a hail storm this severe. Follow the link.
UPDATE: Apparently this was actual filmed in Arizona. Same thing.. -
Is This Your Dog?
30 Nov 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
On the VERY rare occasion, we do tend to these kind of requests and I stress that it should not be seen as any kind of precedent for future ‘Lost Dog’ notices. This is in fact exactly the opposite – a dog has been FOUND and the people who have it are trying to find the owner. I’ll give three EuroMillions lottery tickets to the first person who wraps this up. Click link for details and please respond in the comments section.

Inventor Crossing UAE In Solar-Powered Wheelchair To Prove Some Kind Of Point
23 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
Inventor Haidar Taleb is hitting two birds with one stone, sort of, by crossing all seven United Arab Emirates in a solar powered wheelchair to promote the use of renewable energy and raise awareness about causes for disabilities. Also, he’s going alone. And you can’t drink in most of the Emirates. And it’ll take 11 days. Road trip!

Win Tickets To The End Of The Line
22 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
The End Of The Line is this year’s most vaunted environmental documentary. Brought to South Africa by Investec, the internationally-acclaimed film is a stark and uncompromising look at our systematic pillaging of our oceans, the effects of which will hit us harder and sooner than we anticipated. 2oceansvibe Radio will be chatting to the film’s producer and author of the book by the same name, Charles Clover, as well as giving away ten tickets to the film. Details after the jump.

Crocodiles On A Plane
22 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
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.

Seven Creatures That Prove Nature Hates Us
21 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 15 Comments
For every cute little kitten, there are at least a million other animals out there that will literally eat your face off. Why? Because nature is an asshole, that’s why. While things like parktown prawns, great white sharks and rain spiders scare the bejezus out of me, they are nothing compared to these 7 creatures that prove that nature hates us and we are all going to die.

I noted the date – 17 September, 2007. My goodness but it came early that year! Not so three years later as […]

Scores of dead pigeons lay strewn across the Table Bay Boulevard in Cape Town on the weekend, metres from the Cape Town International Convention Centre.

Exxon Mobil positions it’s brand at the vanguard of innovating clean energy for the world. It has a clean, 21st century look. The employees on it’s corporate advertising posters are friendly, sharply dressed, multi-ethnic. It produces print advertisements in National Geographic like this: And they like to chat quite a bit about water on their […]

10 May 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
True 2oceansvibers who are also following 2oceansvibe on Twitter, will know that we indulged in some pigeon for lunch the other day in Menerbes – South of France. It was my first time eating such a small bird (insert supermodel joke here) and I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Here we have our neighbours, […]

DID SOMEONE SAY “WINTER?”
31 Mar 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Very strange behaviour, if you did. I’ll tell you why. You see this morning I tried something new – I went for a 5km run. Which is weird, given that I’m known as a 4km specialist. It’s true, people often refer to me as “The Four Kay Specialist.” It’s either that, or they call me […]

MISSING DOG – “COME IN, MOSCOW”
14 Jan 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 6 Comments
Please, dear God, do not see this as the start of a trend. We do NOT post lost dog ads on 2oceansvibe. But I just thought the rareness of receiving a lost dog ad in my inbox would be enough reason for this “one-off.” It’s very “niche,” don’t you think? And I am SO niche […]

Most Capetonians will know all about the radically powerful wind that was blowing on Sunday. Whilst the Safe House stood strong and came out the other side unscathed, the same can not be said for Wembley Square – the Faircape development in Gardens.

THE SUMMERTIME CHAMELEON

It should be noted that yesterday I had not only my first run of Summer, but also my first swim! In the ocean, that is. It was most refreshing. I swam to Robben Island and back. Why lie? So anyway, summer is well and truly here and I’ve already lost count of how many summer […]
