World Record Biggest Wave Ever Surfed 90ft

We had no idea Portugal's coast got such big waves, but would you believe it, it does. 90-foot ones, waves bigger than your house, your neighbor's bigger house, and things that are 89 feet -- that big. It's all thanks to the massive underwater gorge called "Nazaré Canyon" that creates unusual giant waves.

Hawaii-born Garrett McNamara describes himself as a "Extreme Waterman Explorer & Big Wave Champion" on his website, but by us, he's the luckiest surfer alive, happening upon the record-breaking wave while out tow-in surfing with Andrew Cotton and Al Mennie during the surfing gathering known as the "ON North Canyon Project 2011".

"I feel so blessed and honored to have been invited to explore this canyon and its special town. The waves here are such a mystery", Garrett said afterwards. Um, okay Garrett, right you are. Still, nice job!

Call that a flamethrower trombone? This is a flamethrower trombone!

Earlier, we brought you a video clip of a man who'd hooked up his trombone to also act like a flamethrower. Sure, it was pretty pointless, and yet at the same time, it was also quite impressive too – you know, in a pyromaniac's delight sort-of-way.

Now we've discovered an even more ludicrous trombone flamethrower. One that shoots jets of fire out over 21 feet at maximum range, and, you know, makes a trombone-like noise.

And though we admire their ingenuity – and their desire to one up other people on the internet – we can't help but wonder about the possibility of the gas tank beside the player's head catching on fire and everything getting very grim, very fast.

That and someone accidentally taking it along to band practice and frying the back of someone else's head.

In other words, what we're trying to say is this: don't try this at home. Watch it at home, sure, send it to your friends, absolutely, but as for making one yourself? Best leave it to the professionals. Or these guys, at any rate.
