Fun & Frivolity: Mars, Rambo Lambo, And Wipeout

Escorting you into your weekend playtime are a trio of fun things. First, we have some incredible pictures from Mars. Here's one:


Is it any wonder that the majesty and mystery of space has captured humanity's imagination for centuries?

Next, we move on to more...earthly...pleasures. The one and only Lamborghini has created some serious eye candy for the off-roader:



This beast -- dubbed the 'Rambo Lambo' -- is a rough analog for the Humvee, but can scream along at 130mph (110 on sand)! I'm sure it has more cupholders, too. Sweet!

Finally, I had to share another of my new indulgences with you. ABC recently launched a show called 'Wipeout', in which people navigate a series of obstacle courses in the hopes of winning $50,000. I'm reluctant to admit it, but I find it hilarious to watch these people make total fools of themselves on these courses! Check it out for yourself (but don't drink anything while you watch):





Even this video doesn't do justice to the true ineptitude from these would-be athletes! You gotta' check out the show! :)

Have a great weekend!
