I am a big advocate of exercise. I am also an advocate of nudity. But I am not sure I would combine them like this.

The climber is one of a series of super-fit 'Stone Nudes' captured in action on the cliffs and mountains of America.

Without clothes, specialist shoes or other equipment, participants say the experience captures the 'true essence of the climbing spirit.'

It is the latest extreme sport craze to sweep the US, and is now tipped to become a popular pastime in the UK.

While beautiful to behold this seems somewhat less then safe for the climber. I mean what happens if you slip and scrape a sensitive body part on a rock? Ouch!

And I am sure that there are men who also engage in this sport, but really who wants to see that?

You have to admit that the photograph above is beautiful. Unless of course you are a prude. In which case what in the hell are you doing here?

I think that the stress of trying to find more cannon fodder to send to Iraq is driving military recruiters to booze and porn.

Jorge Arevalo was sleeping upstairs in the house in Hackettstown, NJ, when he heard what he thought was his housemate coming home at around midnight. He wondered why his housemate was walking around and making noise so much.

The answer to this came at around 1a.m., when his housemate actually returned. Arevalo reported hearing a string of expletives as his housemate discovered a naked man sitting at the computer.

On the computer were several windows open on porn sites. The man was dressed only in shoes and socks, and was covered in cuts and bruises. Bloodstains were found in several rooms in the house.

The man was identified as Jerry B. Mahaffey, a recruiter for the U.S. Army. Police later found his abandoned clothes behind The Laughing Lion, a local bar.

You know I don't want to pass judgement here. God knows I have consumed alcohol and surfed porn before, of course I usually stay in my own house to do that, it just seems a little less icky that way. However this guy might want to drink just a wee bit less the next time he is celebrating sending some young person to die for Bush's lie.

And as for the naked part, well he still had his socks on so he wasn't technically "naked" now was he? "Socks on" = "not naked"!

I think these people may have overreacted a little.
