The ocean, full of mysteries and marvels. Scientists call it "Mother Nature" I call it "God's Awesome Creation" To even believe that the ocean simply evolved is to be naive indeed. The science involved in the daily actions of the ocean, had to have been designed by a vastly superior mind than the puny mind of man could ever conceive.

Take for instance, the wave below which is apparently the biggest wave on earth, and is found at Pico Alto - Perú. The roaring forties produces these types of waves year round.

For the ultimate adrenaline rush, how about surfing a 40 to 50 foot wave.

This video is freaky ... They don't say how big this wave is, but take a measurement of the size of the surfer against the size of the wave behind and in front of him, and it is quite easily 30 to 40 feet or longer.

Don't try this at home folks. You have got to know what you are doing when you take on one of these.

Get caught under the cresting wave and you will experience what it is like to have several tons of water crashing on your head.

(My estimate : in his crouched position on his surfboard, I estimate his height around 5 ft. Based on that scale, the wave is roughly 10 to 12 times larger. Which makes the wave around 50ft to 60ft high. NOT MY IDEA OF FUN)

Ever wonder why some corn (maize) farms produce such big ears of corn? Well this video will explain it visually. This big machine cuts the tops of the corn plants so that the nutrients go into the corn and not the plant.

This was one of those rare unplanned moments when opportunity presents itself. A pastor friend of mine in Michigan and I went for a 10 mile ride on mopeds in the country. His cap blew off his head and I stopped while he went back to retrieve it.

I heard an engine noise coming from the corn field, looked up and saw this monster approaching. I grabbed my Flip Video camera and began filming this unique clip.

The shaky part at the end was when I moved the moped directly behind the corn cutter to get a better view.
