I’m not sure what you’d do with these, but the history behind them makes these vintage Louis Vuitton bags far more desirable than their modern counterparts. They’re going on auction at Christie’s and are expected to fetch between £400 and £6000 in the Interiors: Style & Spirit sale.

Now imagine having those bags in this house!

This is some really cool stop motion stuff. Whether or not this guy actually trekked across the states is immaterial.

Check out the route on Google Maps.

While I hate potholes as much as the next motorist, and feel they often aren’t repaired as quickly as we’d like, next time you see one be thankful it isn’t worse.

Tropical Storm Agatha swept across Central America yesterday, bringing torrential rain that killed more than 100 people and opened a 60m-deep sinkhole in Guatemala City which reportedly swallowed up a three-storey building. Read more.

Some would say the end is near.

A comic auction of rare first copies saw this Action Comic No. 1 featuring Superman, go for $1m! Considering the comic sold for 10c in 1938, that’s a pretty decent investment. If you’re a numbers type of person you may find that it’s just more than a 25% return over the 72 years. So sell your shares and withdraw your cash because comics are where it’s at.

Watch this space for a first edition STM comic. A very exclusive limited batch of only 100 000 will be printed and sold to you, our loyal reader at only R1000. But wait, there’s more…

Just kidding.

Yes i know the song is cheesy -- but last night i watched the music video of the new WATW for the first time and two things really struck me -- one is the massive amount of celebs on this thing -- i mean the list goes on for ever.

The second is that this actually is an amazingly powerful song -- to think that this one song has managed to bring hope to millions of people suffering around the world for over 25 years -- now that is a serious achievement. It has made millions upon millions of dollars -- won numerous awards and managed to unite hundreds if not thousands of the most talented people on this earth . . all because Lionel Richie and MJ decided to write a song and call a few mates!

On Feb. 15 in Los Angeles Bonhams & Butterfields will hold an auction exclusively dedicated to writing instruments from Montblanc. Highlighting the auction is one of the most sought after Montblanc pens ever produced, the Magical Black Widow Skeleton limited edition fountain pen (above), estimated at $18,000 – $24,000. Encased by a web of white gold, the instrument features a filigree spider studded with black diamonds on the clip. From the Luxist.

An e-mail is going around about a drug bust where they uncovered a SH!TLOAD of cash at the dealer’s house. Besides the fact that you could spend the rest of your life only getting affection from Bubba and that you may ruin some lives along the way (unless you’re just selling weed, which is actually a good deed – crazy rhyme that!), this is great business. You’ll notice I struggled to categorize this piece…

Random fact: Apparently $1m worth of $100 bills weighs 17kgs.

Thanks Garth

Holiday Inn is a running a trial where they offer the service of human bed warmers. If requested, one of the hotel staff will don a fleece sleeper suit, a hair net and be armed with a thermometer to get the bed to the desired 20 degrees. I somehow don’t think this one’s going to take off. Yahoo News has more.

London’s 2012 Olympic stadium is going to be made partly from recycled guns and knives that have been confiscated by the Metro Police. It just goes to show, sport > weapons. Well done London!

I’m sure that it says somewhere when giant seagulls roam the streets that the world is very close to its end -- whatever the reason for this insane occurrence it is rather creepy -- although again only in Australia!!

There are certain things you DO NOT DO!

Challenge Tiger to 9 holes, have a race against Michael Schumacher or play one on one with Labron James!

But perhaps the most stupid of all is pretend to be a swim wear model next to MARISSA MILLER – she is the ultimate bikini girl put on this earth for no other reason than to measure all other beach-goers against – a yard stick if you will.

Now if you are dumb enough to stand next to her and pout like you are some kind of threat – well then you deserve to look as stupid as these chicks do!

As 100cm = 1meter and 1000 meters = 1 kilometer – much the same as the above DEFINES swim wear!

AND no pumpkin carving would be complete without the Pomeranian :)

MORE FUN MORE COSTUMES and MORE PICS FROM THE MANSION?

. . . now if you were not scared of the water before you will be now – when one creature can do this to its own kind can you imagine what the hell it could do to you.

Its very simple – i have a long standing deal with these creatures – i dont go into the water and they dont come into the bar – SIMPLE AS THAT!

Lest we forget that the MUNCHED picture above is a great white shark – probably the greatest most ferocious spectacular killing machine in the entire world – WHAT THE F**K DID THE THING LOOK LIKE THAT DID THIS TO IT???

Fortunately it was in AUZ!
