Lava surfing
Pictured: The surfer who kept his cool in the face of a volcano
Tell most people a volcano is erupting and you can bet most of them will start running in the opposite direction before you finish the sentence.
But not in the case of pro-surfer C J Kanuha, who grabbed his board and paddled out to sea to get a closer look as the lava of the world's most active volcano, Kilauea, hit the waters.
Tentative at first, the adrenalin-junkie paddled to within 20ft of the lava, before moving back from water that reached 200C in places, melting the wax on his surfboard and burning his feet in the process.

Kilauea, meaning 'much spreading', has been continually erupting in Hawaii since 1983, but more molten rock than usual is flowing from an outbreak that started last November.
Lava has been spewing as high as 150ft in the air at temperatures up to 1,200C and a surface flow is snaking east from the crater.

The current lava flow has been pouring out of the Pu'u O'o vent since November 21, 2007
Meanwhile, underground 'tubes' are expelling lava into the Pacific ocean creating huge clouds of steam and ash.

I am the evil monkey in your closet
The original video CCI posted turned out to be a fake, an advertisement by a surfing company.
It's continued circulation as "real" is a great example of the viral nature of the web that allows for "Nigerian scams" to continue to work.

Explosive pics: But did the dynamite really whack up the surf?
It's the latest internet phenomenon to have gripped young audiences around the world: a youth is seen throwing a stick of dynamite into a lake, creating a giant wave so his friend can go surfing.
The 80-second clip has been viewed a record-breaking ten million times and has prompted a fierce debate about whether or not it is real.
