Today in ACTION news!
Florida man takes 50-foot dive for $20
PALMETTO, Florida -- Mark Giorgio figured a 50-foot plunge was worth $20. Giorgio, 47, was counting his money and walking across the U.S. 41 bridge over the Manatee River Monday when a $20 bill blew out of his hand and flew over the rail.
He followed. And plummeted 50 feet into the river. Then he swam about 100 yards to fish the bill from the water.
"I got my money back, hell yeah," Giorgio told the Sarasota Herald-Tribune. "Twenty bucks is a lot of money when you're broke."
He was fished from the water by a passing Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officer.
Giorgio, who said he was already suffering from a broken collarbone, refused treatment for cuts and scrapes he suffered in the fall.

My Lifelong War Against The Bees & The Spiders
I don't know if these buggy little fuckers are working together or not, but I can tell you this much:
I hate them and I have hated them with a phobia filled passion since I was a wee Cap'n lad back in good ol' 1970's.
I don't care if the bees make sweet, sweet honey or if the spiders eat a variety of other annoying bastard bugs.
I FUCKING HATE
THE BEES
AND
THE SPIDERS!!!!
AND
I WILL KILL THEM
AT ANY AND ALL
OPPORTUNITY
I AM GIVEN!!!!
THE BEES
AND
THE SPIDERS!!!!
AND
I WILL KILL THEM
AT ANY AND ALL
OPPORTUNITY
I AM GIVEN!!!!
I AM SERIOUS HERE, PEOPLE! THESE CREEPY LITTLE BASTARDS DESERVE TO DIE A HORRID DEATH!
Why? Because they show us no respect! They invade our homes, offices and even our cars. They hurt us and bite us and tease us and taunt us!
I mean, they're lower than even those stupid asshead mosquito mother fuckers. GOD! Those guys piss me off too!
I mean, WTF, MATE?
Once they are dead... having been killed by broom, chemical, fire, fist, frost or frippery... I like to leave their dead carcasess lying around AS A WARNING TO THE REST OF THEM.
If they fuck with The Cap'n, their gonna get the pipe... THE DEATH PIPE... uh, whatever that means.
So, bring it on, you multi-leg ugly fucksticks. Bring it down! Bring it down to Chinatown and I will eat your little insect hearts for breakfast!
I thank you for your time.
(this message brought to you by last night's bottle of Yellow Tail Shiraz - HELL YEAH!)

Today's animated Martian Dust Devil!
This awesome ACTION animation shows a dust devil scooting across a plain inside Gusev Crater on Mars as seen from the NASA rover Spirit's hillside vantage point during the rover's 459th martian day, or sol (April 18, 2005). The individual images were taken about 20 seconds apart by Spirit's navigation camera, and the contrast has been enhanced for anything in the images that changes from frame to frame, that is, for the dust devil. HELL YEAH!
