Once thought to be strictly reserved for psychopaths with little will to live, running barefoot, or as close to barefoot as possible, is now considered a great way to train. The Zemgear 360 Ninja Split-Toe Running Shoes ($50-$60) features include a unique split-toe design, tech bands in the upper for stability, and Gecko-Grip rubber pods for traction. At just 2.5 ounces, they also weigh less than the amount of mental anguish that most psychopaths carry around with them.
Streaking (yes, as in running naked) through Costco is not the kinda thing you wanna do more than once, trust me. So when you finally summon up the courage to show bulk shoppers your, uh, bulk, make sure you’re at least wearing the new GoPro HERO3: Black Edition ($400). Wear it, mount it, submerge it, whatever. It takes video 1440p 48fps, 1080p 60 fps and 720p 120 fps video, as well as 12MP photos at a rate of 30 photos per second. Plus it’s got Wi-Fi, so you can totally stream the reactions of horrified shoppers to whomever would wanna see that stuff. Ask around, I’m sure someone does.

When the piranhas invade your lakeside family reunion this year, guess who’s gonna be the only person to high-pressure hose his way to safety? Nooo, not former NASCAR great Dick Trickle (good/weird guess, though). You will be! Yes, you will able to evade those tiny teeth with the use of the Jetovator ($9,000); a water-powered (via personal watercraft) bikeish vehicle that goes up to 25 mph and 30 feet high. It also plunges you 10 feet below the surface, so once you escape the piranhas, you can drop back under the water to give them the finger (figuratively).

Before you begin drooling over Batman’s motorcycle again (The Dark Knight Rises opens July 20), feast your eyes on the Suzuki GSX 1400 Special Edition Axis Quad. At $40,000, it’s cheaper than Bruce Wayne’s bike, and yet it looks almost as wicked. With a GSX 1400cc Suzuki digitally fuel-injected motor, you’ll have more than enough get-up-and-go to track down baddies like Calendar Man, Mad Stan, and Jazzman. Yes, they are all actual Batman villains. French Toast Sticks Guy can’t be far off.
Next, on Secrets of the Bible Revealed! We show you how Jesus pulled off his amazing “walk on water” trick!
