TOP OF THE WORLD When you think of wind turbines, you may think of giant propellers, clean energy and sunbathers. Wait, forget that last one. Traditionally, we don't think of sunbathing nor snoozing, but that is about to change.

Drone pilot Kevin Miller was capturing video of a 200 foot wind turbine when he noticed something on top of the massive modern-day windmill: a man lying down.

Clearly this startled Miller a bit, considering a guy was taking a nap on top of a giant wind turbine, but the sunbather didn't seem to mind much. He waved to Miller's drone and watched it circle a few times before it took off. At one point, the man looks a bit flustered, but that's fair considering the drone disturbed his nap. Wake me from a nap, and things get real, fast.

Anyway, we can poke fun at this guy for catching some rays 200 feet in the air, but I commend him. I slept in a tall bed once, blacked out and forgot where I was for 30 minutes. So kudos to this man who has created a new sport (that's probably illegal on certain private property) extreme sunbathing.
