omid, when'd you see her rack? were you up close? were they clothed? this all makes a huge difference! ...clue a sista in! for the most part i don't think much of her boobs. i think jamie lee curtis has the best star boobs of all. very nice.
anyway, most amazing thing i've seen was the temple of borobudur in yogyakarta, indonesia. that was really very stunning. even more so than angkor wat in my opinion. check it out!
edited cause i wanted to link you

When I was flying to thialand from Oz last year we were somewhere over indoneisia and I was dozing off but suddenly there was a flsah of light and I looked out my window and above us was a little lighting, but then when I looked we were flying over a massive tropical storm you could see all the clouds swirling around like a huge tornado and there was a big red ball in the middle and all this lightning was flashing all over it, it was really core!

you forgot Dirty Sanchez........
One of the most amazing (and unusual) things I ever saw was a UFO when I was about 13 (I shit you not). There was a bunch of shit about it in the newspapers the next day as I guess a bunch of other people saw it too. I was with my parents. I was off to Devil's Tower the next day. (OK, that part I made up).

In the 2004 Hurricane season sent three Hurricanes up and across Central Florida. Since I live in Orlando, we got hit really bad. The worst damage came from Charley, we got hit with 100 mph winds where I live and lost 75% of our citys trees. I just remember going on a walk the day after, trees down everywhere and houses crushed by the fallen trees. My pastors house got hit by three large oak trees.
Another was when my friend got hit by two cars going 40 mph, one hit him then another and he rolled over the top. He had to be taken to the hospital but only broke his leg, thank God.

1. My Grandfather's funeral. Here was a man of 86 years of age who fathered 7 children. At least 150 people paid their respects that day. This was the first funeral I had been to where I was conscious and mature enough to realize what was happening. Although it was an incredibly sad event, especially to see my Father lose his Father, I couldn't help but feel the overwhelming impact this man had upon this many people. He lived a very long and rewarding life and was loved by many. Unforgettable experience.
2. 1. A few years ago I saw Jazz legend Sonny Rollins play in Atlanta. This guy has played with all of the greats and was in his seventies belting out 7 minute solos. My jaw dropped and I had tears of joy from the sheer power of live music. The crowd was ecstatic. I'll never forget it.
3. Jumping out of an airplane at 13,000 feet and looking down at the ground.
4. The grand Canyon.

Most incredible?
Staring down the front side of Hoover Dam was pretty wild. It looks so small on TV, yet when I was there to see the gorge, the dam, everything, i found it quite incredible.
Seeing the NYC Skyline for the first time w/o the World Trade Center. Indescribable.
One time I saw a car hit a turtle on the highway and it shot across the road like a Koopa in Super Mario Brothers
The awesome power of a storm at sea while on a cruise ship to Bermuda... it rocked the ship so hard my wine glass fell over on the table.
Watching my grandfather pass away in front of my eyes with all of his children and most of his grandchildren and my grandmother there still ranks as number one. Sad, but incredibly beautiful at the same time. He had been on a ventilator for days, they took him off, he told my grandmother that he loved her and died.

Most amazing thing....
the beginning of life, and the end of life. regardless of the situation. Whether watching someone or something enter the world, or watching someone or something die. Those are the most amazing and moving events.
Also, events that fill us with love. A beautiful sunset, the massive undertaking for the construction of an object. I have not seen anything outrageously breathtaking. Although such manmade objects as the Sears Tower and Mackinac Bridge do come to mind.
Otherwise, seeing a moment in which two people overcome a great issue and meet each other on common ground and become better people. I.e. Race issues, etc.
