The World Cup is finally upon us this week (officially starting Friday) and you know what that means, right? Non-soccer fans, who are only watching because it’s a patriot’s duty to, hoping the cameras can pan away from the game as often as possible to get a nice, long look at hotties like these . I’d say a 60/40 split between scanning the crowd for babes and soccer action would suffice. What do you think? There should at least be a peek into the crowd before every throw-in, free kicks, corners, and during injuries.

The Sky Factory eScape, priced from $9750, is basically a virtual window system that’s comprised of a “40-inch 1080P LCD and a stylish frame with shutters, that open inwards for some reason.” Continue reading for a video demonstration.

Is this an x-ray of a corked bat once used by the great Pete Rose? According to Deadspin it is “a Mizuno PR4192 bat, commissioned by Pete Rose specifically for his 1985 chase of baseball’s all-time hits record.” As you know, corking your bat in baseball is highly illegal, per rule 6.06(d), so this could cast a huge cloud over Pete Rose’s hits record. That is, if there wasn’t already intense cloud coverage. In 2001, Rose was accused by a former friend that he regularly corked his bats during the record breaking season and his lifetime ban from baseball doesn’t exactly paint him in a positive light for anything he’s ever accomplished. It appears this evidence is pretty conclusive, no matter what the pathological lying Rose might say. But how this really changes anything for Pete Rose’s “legacy,” there’s no telling. His ban from baseball wasn’t going to be lifted anytime soon, and he’s always been known as the player who would do whatever it took to succeed. After all, he’s not nicknamed “Charlie Hustle” for nothing. If this means anything, it’s that Bud Selig can just keep him banned for “gambling” and never have to address the issue of corked bats, which has been rumored to be as big of a problem in baseball as steroids — even if corked bats don’t actually help the hitter that much, if at all.

Upon first glance, it would seem as though this kid is as awesome as they get. After all, it isn’t everyday that we see someone pull off an unbelievable stunt like this. And just when it appears as though he has executed it to perfection, he is confronted by a perfectly placed box. And down he goes! That’s a shame. I guess a black eye is what you deserve for trying to show off. Next time you should stick to just being average, like the rest of us.
