DEAD SEA ULTRA MARATHON
How much into extreme sports are you? Ever want thought you could run to the lowest point on earth? That's what competitors will do this April 15th in Jordan's, Dead Sea Ultra Marathon.

Starting at 3000 feet above sea level in Jordan's capital Amman, the ultra-marathon course wanders up and downhill for the first dozen or so miles before turning downhill for the next 20 and finally evening out for the last few clicks to the 1300 feet below sea level finish line on the shores of the Dead Sea.

STEAL IT BACK - HOT, HOT, HOT
We learned about this site from the kind folks at our new favorite magazine, Budget Living. The site just may become the ultimate bargain site of the year.

Steal it Back.com auctions off goods collected by more than 400 police departments across the country - evidence from trials, booty confiscated from criminals, and shoplifted items that couldn't be returned to stores.

We are even contemplating bidding on an 119800 square-foot lot outside Taos, New Mexico. Seems like a bargain at current price of $700.
