Hungry for The Hobbit: Man Eats Entire Denny's Menu in 20 Minutes, Earns Admiration of Middle-earth | Comcast
The Hobbit, bringing together nerds, lady nerds, elf fetishists, fans of classic literature and now...competitive eaters!
A Connecticut man by the name of Jamie "The Bear" McDonald took it upon himself to down the entirety of Denny's Hobbit-themed menu, including 10 items such as Radagast's Red Velvet Pancake Puppies and Gandalf's Gobble Melt (the latter of which is actually really delicious and you should try it next time you find yourself at Denny's at 2 a.m.).
And all in 20 minutes (time-lapsed to about four, readily available for your viewing pleasure):
"It was comfort food. It tasted good. It was a helluva lot of food but not nearly the hardest thing I've ever done," The Bear (may we call you The Bear?), a 36-year old former body builder, revealed to ESPN's Playbook about the challenge, which allegedly took him three tries to complete due to the camera overheating.
ESPN reports that each visit cost upwards of $80 (or like four Hobbit action figures) and clocked in at around 8,610 calories. "It was not very hard," our new personal hero boasted to Playbook. "It just looked a lot more impressive." A sentiment echoed by drunk frat brothers around the globe.
Basically, the video is beautiful. And kind of makes you want to throw up. Just like The Hobbit!

Cat used in Brazil prison smuggling try | Odd Headlines | Comcast
Cat used in Brazil prison smuggling try
SAO PAULO ? Guards thought there was something suspicious about a little white cat slipping through a prison gate in northeastern Brazil. A prison official says that when they caught the animal, they found a cellphone, drills, small saws and other contraband taped to its body.
Alagoas state prisons spokeswoman Cinthya Moreno says that the cat was caught New Year's Eve at the medium-security prison in the city of Arapiraca.
The O Estado de S. Paulo newspaper reported Saturday that all of the prison's 263 inmates are suspects in the smuggling attempt, though it says a prison spokesman said "It will be hard to discover who is responsible since the cat does not speak."

VIDEO: Panic Ensues When Escalator Suddenly Switches Direction at NJ Train Station | Fox News Insider
Commuters in New Jersey were thrown into a panic when the escalator they were on suddenly switched directions and started going down. Some tried to walk in the opposite direction, while others attempted to jump off in order to avoid the pileup at the bottom.
Teresa Priolo of WNYW reported live from Jersey City, NJ where Port Authority investigators are looking into whether the malfunction may have been a result of the damage from Hurricane Sandy.
One commuter described the scene, saying, ?It was like being on a freefall but with people on it.?
Six people suffered minor injuries.

I was on an escalator once and it stopped, so I treated it like stairs and walked. Some people just stood there dumbfounded, maybe hoping it would start again I don't know but it just seemed funny to me they wouldn't move....

Jesus. How?
- Stand still.
- Go against the flow (step out of way of those going in opposite direction).
- Go with the flow (step out of way of those going in opposite direction).
What other reasonable options are there?
Seriously? "others attempted to jump off"

Another local crash today. Maybe Skynet is behind it...
High-speed ferry strikes NYC dock; dozens injured | General Headlines | Comcast
NEW YORK ? A high-speed ferry loaded with hundreds of commuters from New Jersey crashed into a dock in lower Manhattan on Wednesday during the morning rush hour, seriously injuring 11 people, including one who suffered a severe head wound falling down a stairwell.
Scores of people who had been standing, waiting to disembark, were hurled to the deck or launched into walls by the impact, which came after the catamaran Seastreak Wall Street slowed following a routine trip across New York Bay and past the Statue of Liberty, passengers said.
"We were pulling into the dock. The boat hit the dock. We just tumbled on top of each other. I got thrown into everybody else. ... People were hysterical, crying," said Ellen Foran, of Neptune City, N.J.
The crash, which ripped open a small part of the hull like an aluminum can, happened at 8:45 a.m. at a pier near the South Street Seaport, at Manhattan's southern tip. Around 70 people suffered minor injuries, and for nearly two hours paramedics treated bruised and dazed passengers on the pier. Firefighters carried several patients on flat-board stretchers as a precaution. Other patients left in wheelchairs.
The cause of the crash was under investigation. The ferry, built in 2003, had recently undergone a major overhaul that gave it new engines and a new propulsion system, but officials said it was too soon to tell whether they played any role in what happened.
Dee Wertz, who was on shore waiting for the ferry, saw the impact. She said that just moments before the ferry hit, she had been having a conversation with a ferry employee about how the boat's captains had been complaining lately about its maneuverability.
"He was telling me that none of these guys like this boat," she said. "It was coming in a little wobbly. It hit the right side of the boat on the dock hard, like a bomb."
James Barker, the chairman of the ferry's owner, Seastreak LLC, said at a news conference hours after the crash it was "a terrible day for all of us."
"We are simply shocked and stunned that this happened," he said, adding that the company would work with investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board to determine what went wrong. "Our priority continues to be the people who are injured."
About 330 passengers and crew members were aboard the ferry, which had arrived from Atlantic Highlands, a part of the Jersey Shore still struggling to recover from Superstorm Sandy. Passenger Frank McLaughlin, whose home was filled with 5 feet of water in the late October storm, said he was thrown forward and wrenched his knee.
"We come in and do this every day, and so it just kind of glides in," he said. "It came in hard, and it was just a huge impact as we hit."
Some passengers were bloodied when they banged into walls and toppled to the floor, he said.
New York City's transportation commissioner, Janette Sadik-Khan, said the ferry was coming in at 10 to 12 knots, or about 12 to 14 mph, when it struck one slip and then hit a second.
After the impact, the boat was able to dock normally. Wertz, who saw the crash from the dock, said passengers raced off once the ramp was down.
"I think people just wanted to get the heck off the boat as soon as they could," she said.
Police said the boat's crew passed alcohol breath tests given after the crash. Crew members also took drug tests, the results of which weren't immediately available.
Officials identified the captain as Jason Reimer, an experienced seaman. In a 2004 profile in Newsday, Reimer said he had joined Seastreak as a deckhand in 1997 and became a captain three years later at age 23. Barker called him "a great guy."
The NTSB said it had yet to interview the captain.
The Seastreak Wall Street has been in minor accidents before. Coast Guard records said the ferry hit a cluster of fender piles while docking in 2010, punching a small hole in the ship's skin. In 2009, it suffered another tear on the bow after another minor docking collision. No one was injured in either of those mishaps.
The naval architecture firm that designed the reconfiguration, Incat Crowther, said in an August news release that the ferry's water-jet propulsion system had been replaced with a new system of propellers and rudders to save fuel costs and cut carbon dioxide pollution in half. Barker said the overhaul made it "the greenest ferry in America."
The hull was reworked, and the boat was made 15 metric tons lighter. At top speed, the ferry travels at around 35 knots, or 40 mph.
Seastreak spokesman Bob Dorn, asked whether the work had hurt the ferry's maneuverability or caused pilots any problems, said it would be up to the NTSB to determine if the new equipment played any role.
Ferry accidents happen every few years in New York. In 2003, 11 people were killed when a Staten Island Ferry crashed into a pier on Staten Island after its pilot passed out at the wheel. Three people were badly hurt and about 40 were injured when the same ferry hit the same pier in 2010 because of a mechanical problem.

Those are the escalators at the Exchange Place PATH station. This entrance has 3 long escalators and stairs on both sides. During Hurricane Sandy the footage of the other entrance with the elevators and turnstiles flooding was posted on youtube. :08 to :18 on the clip.

Also starring the late & legendary Laurence Olivier & the amazing Roy Scheider. Perhaps the epitome of a thriller movie. What a thriller should be.
