			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.inquisitr.com/178343/charlie-sheen-im-not-crazy-anymore/chrysalis-5th-annual-butterfly-ball/" rel="attachment wp-att-178350"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-178350" title="Charlie Sheen is no longer insane, so says Charlie Sheen" src="http://www.inquisitr.com/wp-content/2012/01/Charlie-Sheen-No-Longer-Insane.jpg" alt="Charlie Sheen is no longer insane, so says Charlie Sheen" width="485" height="364" /></a></p>
<p>Charlie Sheen is feeling on top of the world as he produces and stars in his new TV series <em>Anger Management</em> (due out later this year) and to prove it he told reporters on Sunday night &#8220;I&#8217;m not crazy anymore.&#8221;</p>
<p>According to Sheen who was speaking at Fox&#8217;s Television Critics Association party, &#8216;that was an episode.&#8221;</p>
<p>Charlie also revealed that he isn&#8217;t looking for more &#8220;goddesses&#8221; and has begun spending more time with his family.</p>
<p>Speaking to  CNN Charlie Sheen added, &#8221;I think I&#8217;m a different person than I was yesterday. Everything is a lot more mellow and focused and much more rooted in reality.&#8221;</p>
<p>The former <em>Two and a Half Men </em>star even talked a bit about the show, specifically how they ousted him:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;It was a little bizarre to watch your own funeral. It was a little mean-spirited. But it&#8217;s dead and buried now, right?&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>However that CBS hit appears to be in Charlie&#8217;s rear view mirror as he quickly changed the subject towards <em>Anger Management </em>in which he will take over Jack Nicholson&#8217;s character from the Adam Sandler starring vehicle.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;It&#8217;s nice to be in a situation where the people I&#8217;m working with are excited about my input. That wasn&#8217;t the case for a long time.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Do you think Charlie Sheen is really sane now after only a few short months of completely insane behavior? How about his new show, will you be tuning in to see if he can strike sitcom gold yet again with <em>Anger Management</em>?</p>

<p>Human beings are known for doing really crazy things all in the name of having some fun and pushing the envelope and while it doesn&#8217;t matter what season of the year it is some of the most fun things take place in the heat of the summer sun; and while this idea might be a little late for this year you can keep it in mind for next summer.</p>
<p>So, what happens when you take a huge slip and slide going down a hill and add a slingshot type of thing and a body of water?</p>
<p>What you get is all kinds of insanity wrapped up in the Human Slingshot Slip and Slide.</p>
<p>Apparently the way it works is like this (<a href="http://www.slashgear.com/slingshot-slip-and-slide-is-awesomely-dangerous-01176023/">courtesy of SlashGear</a>):</p>
<blockquote><p>The extreme sliding is done with the rider on some sort of lake toy that is meant to be pulled behind a boat. They hooked a towrope to the back of a four-wheeler and routed it through a pulley on the back of a truck to pull/slingshot the rider off the end of the ramp.</p>
<p>When you go big on this thing, you go really big. Some of the riders were flying 120 feet through the air. It looked like some of the high-flying daredevils nearly hit the other bank of the pond.</p></blockquote>
<p>Here&#8217;s the video of this special brand of insanity at work.</p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ShFAeNdiEiA" frameborder="0" width="560" height="345"></iframe></p>
<p>Like I said &#8211; insanity.</p>

<p>I just want to state for the record that I have never bungie jumped and never will you catch me on the end of a rubberized rope hoping I don&#8217;t smack my head into the ground at who knows how many miles per hour. So when I see something like these folks who think that swinging from 525 feet up and swooping over a canyon in a 964 foot arc with a 230 foot free fall &#8211; well &#8211; they are even crazier than bungie jumpers.</p>
<p> If you happen to be going to New Zealand you can head over to the Nevis Arc and prove to everyone how brave you are; but I would suggest bringing a change of clothes for afterwards.</p>

<p>Remember the old &#8220;slip n slide&#8221; water slides from your childhood? The general idea was to add water to some treated plastic and you could slide&#8230;which looking back doesn&#8217;t sound all that exciting, but on a hot summers day it was a lot of fun.</p>
<p>But what if you took that concept further, added a large hill, a ramp, a pool and some extremely well calculated mathematics? You&#8217;d get this video which shows the most insane water slide ever created.</p>

<p>New Zealander&#8217;s have always had a strong competitive streak, but we&#8217;ve just found a video that shows that when they aren&#8217;t tending to sheep, New Zealander&#8217;s are something special.</p>
<p>The video shows a man catching a Marlin by jumping out of a helicopter and tackling it in the water.</p>
<p>For those of you not familiar with a Marlin, the fish is well known for being able to reach speeds of about 110 kilometres per hour (68 mph) and grow to 5 metres (16 ft) in length and 670 kilograms (1,500 lb) in weight. The short version is we aren&#8217;t talking about a small fish here by any stretch.</p>
<p>They build them tough in New Zealand, as this video demonstrates:</p>

<p>According to Wikipedia, &#8220;a zipline (also known as a flying fox, zip wire, aerial runway, aerial ropeslide, death slide or tyrolean crossing) consists of a pulley suspended on a cable mounted on an incline. They are designed to enable a user propelled by gravity to traverse from the top to the bottom of the inclined cable, usually made of stainless steel, by holding on or attaching to the freely moving pulley.&#8221;</p>
<p>Now I&#8217;ve seen a flying fox before, but I&#8217;ve never seen anything like this. The video is taken in South Africa, and is claimed to show the worlds longest Zipline. What ever it is, it&#8217;s not for the faint of heart. </p>

<p>Base jumping, that is jumping off fixed objects and parachuting to the ground is an extreme support in itself, but some stunts are more risky than others. Putting yourself on one end of a board and being flung into the air with the help of a sand compactor isn&#8217;t just dangerous, it&#8217;s beyond crazy.</p>
<p>This video shows one man flung into the air in perhaps one of the craziest, and dumbest base jumps of all time. Although given he started on the ground, does it count as a base jump? One last note: I&#8217;m not 100% convinced that it&#8217;s real either, because who would be this insane, plus the camera moves in a way that you don&#8217;t see the guy clearly take to the air. Commenters seem to think it&#8217;s real though.</p>

<p>The following footage apparently comes from a Discovery special and shows maintenance workers climbing along high voltage live power lines in nothing more than faraday suits.</p>
<p>The science behind the suits is oddly sound, so they are safe from a charge, but even if we accept the idea that 50,000 volt power lines (or stronger) can&#8217;t be shut down for inspection, the helicopter ride to the lines, or even the way they slide along them is completely and utterly insane. </p>
