During the 40's and 50's women could only wear a variety of two piece bathing suits, but Hollywood starlets still wanted to pose seductively. If only these women knew that bathing suits would evolve to dental floss.

Owling Is the New Planking

If you're still "planking" you're behind the times, a group of individuals have decided to move on from that practice and they are now practice "owling."

As you may recall planking is the art of laying face down from objects without using your hands and then showing off your skills to the internet, the more dangerous the planking stunt, the better your reputation among other plankers.

Owling on the other hand is the art of crouching like an owl from various objects, once again the harder the owling the better your reputation will be among other owlers.

You can visit the official Owling Facebook page to learn more.

Takabisha, the World's Steepest Roller Coaster in Japan

If you plan to travel to Japan soon and you're not among the faint of heart, you might want to visit the Fuji-Q Highland, an amusement park that just added a very special new attraction: the world's steepest roller coaster. The so-called Takabisha accelerates to 100 km/h, has a 43m drop and a 121-degree freefall.

The Japanese roller coaster beat the former record holder, the Le Timber Drop in France, which measures "just" 113.1 degrees.

Fuji Q Highland invested $37 million in the development of the Takabisha. One ride takes 112 seconds and costs $12.50.
