Chinese Dish Kickups

I had heard about this girl before, but I had always assumed the tale was exaggerated. After all, you would have to have such an improbable amount of control over a unicycle, rolling globe, and kickups. But then the other night I found this video. It’s one of those videos I can hardly believe even as I’m watching it. Rather than explain the tricks in detail, I’ll just let you watch it.

Makes me wonder how much truth there is in the other “big fish” stories that circus performers tell.

Hidden Underground Facility

I thought this article about a hidden underground facility was so cool! Granted, if I had an underground facility I wouldn’t waste it by growing marijuana in it, but I still have to admire the dedication and skill it must have taken to build it. It even has escape routes!

How to teach a Cowboy that llama's spit

The fellow who wrote this has to learn things the hard way….

Did you know that if a cowboy falls just right a full grown bull dog can pull a full grown cowboy down a clinic hallway at approximately 20 mph? It’s true.

Did you know that that a full grown ostrich can kick a full grown cowboy approximately 20 yards through the air? It’s true.

Did you know that if your vet asks you to assist him in semen testing a bull that your life will be in danger if you say yes? It’s true.

Did you know that llamas spit? Well I sure wish you had said something about it before Frank got to teach me that!

Unfortunately, this post is only about how he learned that Llamas spit. I look forward to reading about how he learned the other lessons. I should warn you though, that this guy’s formatting is awful.

I always knew that fancy toilets were a bad idea.

This from the Times….

Inspired to terror by uncompromising evening newspaper headlines such as “Toto to fix buttock-scorching bidets”, nearly 50,000 Washlet owners yesterday jammed the company’s information lines. Although no injuries have yet been reported in connection with Toto’s combustible conveniences, many “near-miss” victims have come forward to describe horrified disbelief as their lavatories unexpectedly set themselves ablaze.
