Sulphur Hexafluoride is a completely transparent gas 6 times heavier than air. This means it works about exactly the opposite of Helium. Rather than making a persons voice high-pitched, it lowers it. Rather than making objects float on air, objects can float on Sulphur Hexafluoride. The end part of this video shows somebody float a foil boat in a container of Sulphur Hexafluride. It’s surreal.
If you have finally got some snow, and a decent slope for sledding on, the next thing you’ll be needing is a sled. I recommend the Wham-O Boggan Sled. (You can find it at Amazon here.)
In one of my previous posts, I talked about some of the things I don’t like to see in juggling videos, so today I thought it’s be appropriate to show a video that I do think was entertaining.
You’ll notice that the tricks are for the most part run-of-the-mill, but they are all aesthetically pleasing and Click Here to continue reading.

I always wondered what a trained sea lion act would look like, and now I know. I have to say, I was pretty impressed. Compared to some other animal acts I’ve seen, it was impressive as well as being cute. Off the top of my head, this is the only time I can remember seeing Click Here to continue reading.
I guess this is what you do when the thrill of your childhood swingset wears off. The whiplash is probably pretty extreme, though. Not for those who have recently eaten.
The Ministry Of Manipulation.com is a pretty decent site, with links to a lot of good videos. For some reason I can’t fathom, they seem to find body popping and contact juggling worth watching, but other than that, they have a lot of cool stuff. I got a bunch of my video links from them, Click Here to continue reading.
This video will give you a faint idea of how much power can be stored in a CRT monitor or a TV. It’s pretty cool watching him power a fluorescent light bulb, and set things on fire.
Vova Galchenko got his green card approved and is back in the US now. His Dad taped his last practice in Russia, and man! The difficulty of the tricks he is working on is just unbelievable. 6 club shoulder throws? It must be awesome to watch them come pouring over your shoulders from a jugglers perspective.
