First there was the car, then the van, then the caravan.  Now there's the Caravisio.  What exactly is this you may ask?  Well Brendan Spaar believes that this is the high tech camper of the future!  The camper features a HD projector in the ceiling, a finger scan security system that renders keys obsolete and a rear veranda.  This may be a little too much for the refined tastes of Honey Boo Boo but if she had this, she'd be the prize of the trailer park!  Click on the source to see a video tour of this futuristic travel trailer.  Unfortunately there are no plans to actually bring it to market.

Many people, including Brendan Spaar, did not know that twerking originated from New Orleans Louisiana.  Long before Miley took the stage at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs), rappers in Louisiana were encouraging girls to twerk it.  Apparently a press release went out earlier this week claiming to be from the city of DeQuincy, Louisiana.  The announcement said that the city was banning twerking, which was described as a "defiant act against Jesus and his teachings" and anyone caught doing the dance would be subject to arrest.  How would that look if you found a girlfriend's mugshot on the internet for the offense of twerking?  The whole thing turned out to be a prank according to DeQuincy mayor, Lawrence Henagan.  This isn't the first time that Henagan's ciry was attacked by a fake press release.  In the past, DeQuincy has had dispell rumors that it was banning Korean residents and that it was giving guns to all students in the city.  The prankster turned out to be Paul Horner, a 34-year-old humorist from Phoenix, Arizona.

The Brendan Spaar blog international coverage takes flight to Helsinki.  What is so special about flying to Helsinki you ask?  Well if you are taking off from Copenhagen, you might be flying aboard an Airbus A320 with flight number AY666.  The three letter designation for Helsinki's airport is HEL.  That would mean you are boarding Flight 666 in Copenhagen bound for HEL.  To make things even weirder, if you boarded the plane today for a one way trip, you could tell friends that you have a one way ticket to HEL aboard Flight 666 on Friday the 13th!  Isn't that crazy?

Continuing our international coverage, Brendan Spaar leaves England and moves over to Dublin Ireland where a man has accused a local shop owner, Lee Reilly, of selling drugs.  The shop owner responds by calling the customer a pedophile.  Tensions rise and the customer grabs a chocolate bar and throws it at the shop owner.  Police were called and arrested the customer, 60 year old Philip Carroll .  The police are still investigating the incident but this customer now has a mugshot and an arrest for unlawful use of a candy bar.  It is rather amazing that a story like this has made the local Ireland newspaper.

It is something that every school child knows.  The sun's rays are very harmful if concentrated through reflection.  Residents near one tower in London are being reminded of this very hot lesson.  There's a skyscraper in London called Walkie Talkie Tower which is made up of a lot of glass windows.  The sun is being reflected off of the windows and onto the sidewalk and street below.  Cars are being melted and you can even fry an egg using the rays!  Brendan Spaar would not recommend getting a suntan under the Walkie Talkie Tower.  Apparently there was a hotel in Las Vegas Nevada that had the same problem in 2008.
