Rattlesnake!

My brother Jeff, his girlfriend Danielle, my friend Joe and I went camping up at Lake George this past weekend. After two days of roughing it and camping in the wilderness, we decided to give ourselves a break and camp in a designated site. As soon as we pitched our tents, I heard my brother scream like a little girl and run towards the car. Usually I ignore my brother's screaming, but Danielle screamed too. So I took a look and here is what I saw:



The funny thing is, no one really freaked out. After the snake went along its way, we continued to pitch our tents with hardly a worry. If this had happened in 'the wilderness' (a site not designated for camping), we all would have insisted on a motel room.

Studio DDT



DDT is the studio that creates the wonderfully bizarre special effects in Guillermo del Toro's movies Pan's Labyrinth and The Devil's Backbone. I can't wait to see del Toro's latest, Hellboy II.

Fahrenheit Roller Coaster


Hershey Park's newest ride is the steepest roller coaster ever, featuring a 97-degree slope (7 degrees beyond vertical!) that results in 4 G's worth of force. Looks like a piece of cake.
