DUDE, you wasted all that beer on what???
Tuesday 01-05-2010 9:57am CT
The city of Harbin in northern China is widely known for it's freeze-your-snowballs-off temperatures and it's annual ice festival. Domestically, the city is also known for it's beer. Sadly, some wiseguy decided to combine the two to create a ginormous ice sculpture with nothing more than copious amounts of frozen beer. Such a waste... And yes, the temperatures do get cold enough to perform a stunt like this. Supposedly the mercury dropped to -34 degrees celcius (that's -29 degrees fahrenheit!) on the day that this sculpture was created. So the beer would indeed freeze almost instantaneously after it was poured from the bottle. Judging from the prominent shots of the Harbin Beer logos in the video, I'd guess that this is an attempt at viral video marketing. That said, Harbin during the ice festival is a pretty neat city to visit. Check out Boston.com for some amazing pictures of Harbin's frosty festivities. 
Parents of the so-called "Balloon Boy" to plead guilty
Thursday 11-12-2009 1:18pm CT
Richard, 49, will cop to a felony charge of attempting to influence a public servant while Mayumi, 48, will plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge of false reporting, their lawyer, David Lane, said in a statement. He could face up to 90 days in jail as well as probation; she faces 60 days. The attorney added that that Richard will "fall on his sword" and take a felony plea to prevent his wife — who is a Japanese citizen — from possible deportation. Viewers around the globe couldn't break away from their TVs and computers on Oct. 15 as live footage played of a 20-foot helium balloon — thought to be carrying the couple's 6-year-old son, Falcon — soared 7,000 feet over Colorado. Hours later, the boy was found safe and sound in the attic of his family's home. It was later discovered that the boy's inventor parents — who appeared on ABC's Wife Swap — staged the incident in a bid to land their own reality show.

Falcon's Faux-Flight Of Fancy, the Reality Show?
Monday 10-26-2009 11:39am CT
It started with a helium aircraft hovering over Fort Collins, Colorado and the belief that a 6-year-old boy climbed in and floated away Thursday, October 15, forcing officials to come up with a rescue plan to save him. Update at 3:35 p.m. ET:The balloon slowly spun to a crash-landing, surrounded by rescuers. Mystery widens, no one was inside balloon? It was at this time we learned that the father was a stormchaser, thus the balloon, and the family was involved in ABC's " Wife Swap," thus the reason for part of the craziness that unfolded. But the story didn't end there. The rest is only something that could make up a real-time Reality Show! Was it Truth or Hot Air? Or Balloonacy? http://inventorspot.com/articles/hotair_balloon_escapes_6_yearold_33583
