Number 44

Do Parkour!

For you uncultured out there, Parkour is a "sport" in which participants run along a route, attempting to negotiate obstacles in the most efficient way possible.

Yes, it's extremely dangerous, requires insane amounts of agility and 99% of the human population can't do it... but come on, give it a try! You look so cool doing it. Do your best to outdo these people:

Number 32

Climb Mount Everest

That's right! You could join the ranks of only a few human beings to ever climb the planet's tallest mountain. You'll endure below-freezing temperatures and heavy packs for days on end, but when you reach the top, the view will be worth it! (Even though similar views are possible from smaller mountains.) If you make it up alive, the return journey will be even more harrowing, with your exhaustion increasing by the day.

Bonus Points: Do it all without an oxygen tank!

Numba 29!

Saran Wrap & Duct Tape Someone. And See How Long it Takes Them to Get Out.

First of all, make sure you don't cover their face.

This is both amusing if you’re just sitting around bored and a helpful skill building time in case you are ever kidnapped by saran wrapping creepers. Just be a nice human being and don’t leave your bundled buddy tied up forever.

You’ll probably have to cut them loose eventually... 'cause even the Great Houdini would struggle to get out of this crazy combination!

Number 27

Target Practice With A Blow Dart

Do NOT practice on living creatures…seriously people. You can go the MacGyver route and make a dart using a pin pushed into the plastic end of a cut-off shoe string and shoot it through a straw OR you can spend cash and actually buy a dart gun, otherwise known as a “blowgun”, online or at some sporting good and hobby stores.

How can it be so easy to get stuff like this? Did I mention people don’t like being shot with darts?

Number Twenty Six

Fast For One Week

That's right. No food, no water for a whole week! Just kidding. You can drink water. Just no food. We think you'll like it. Who knows, maybe you'll finally be able to fit into that new pair of jeans. Apparently, Catherine Zeta Jones had the opposite effect.

Bonus Points: No sleeping. Just kidding again.

#25

Swim Across The Mississippi River

This is definitely dangerous, and may be considered illegal in some areas. Hardcore swimmers only, please. As you make your swim, be sure to look out for boats, snakes, and other lunatics in the water.

Bonus Points: Don't use any sort of floatation device

Number 20

Eat Nothing But McDonalds For 1 Month

That one guy did it. Now watch your body transform into a toned, muscle factory. Really. That's what happens.

Bonus Points: Don't work out AT ALL.

Numba Seventeen

Learn to Scuba Dive

Cough up the cash. It's not cheap.... but it’s an experience that you’ll remember for the rest of your life! Just like viewing pictures isn’t enough to say you visited another country; watching the Discovery Channel is nothing compared to seeing the underwater world for yourself (while breathing).

Just don't feed the fish. And watch out for things with large teeth and/or stingers.

Number 15

Visit at least 5 foreign countries not including Canada. (Sorry, Canada)

Studies show that well-traveled people are more cultured. And have more to talk about. Canada doesn't count because after going there, you still have nothing to talk about or interesting to say.

Get out there and join the rest of us cultured people! We’re probably the ones with tropical shirts, cameras around our necks, and highly attractive socks with sandals. Don't you want to be like we are?

Note: Number 15 is filed under DANGEROUS because of the potential countries you could visit

Number 6

Get Married



... That's right, one of the biggest decisions of your life. And you're only going to do it because it's on our list of 10,000 things, right?? Hey, it's a good a reason as any.

What is Mr. Obama doing in that picture, anyway?

Number 5!

Learn To Surf

Buy your own board and take a few lessons or just go for the “fake it ‘til you make it” method and ride the waves, even if it’s just for a second or two. Just... watch out for waves. And sharks.

Number 3...

Go Rock Climbing

…preferably with a rope and climbing buddies who actually know what they’re doing. Visit your local indoor rock wall to get a handle on climbing techniques then head out to a real-deal rock face like 300-500 foot Lovers Leap in beautiful South Lake Tahoe, California.

Bonus Points: Don't use equipment.
