New college classes are starting now, and if your course load looks like this…

  • Run over by a car 101
  • Kicked in the head 101
  • Gut-shot 101
  • Enveloped in flames 101
  • Algebra 101

…then you must be a freshman at the “Hollywood Stunts” academy, I guess with a minor in math. If these sound like the sort of activities you’ve been doing for free all your life, you may want to attend the academy and turn them into a glamorous, if painful, career.

OMG, Steve!! You’re on Reuters! *feeling all proud* I’m thinking we can add this to the list of Why Steve Is Just So Damn Interesting! And what, no air shots of you leaping into the void (as it were?)

Cool, dude!

…Or my husband and his brother running away from the fireworks that apparently had very fast burning fuses.
