Living Statue Levitation

“Opinion is divided on the subject of living statues. If you have traveled to any major world city then you know who I mean: the street entertainers who spend hours dressing up and applying makeup and then spend the rest of the day rooted to the spot (unless to collect money from bemused tourists or frighten small children, both of which are fine by me considering the labors they have gone through to effect their appearance). They either fascinate, creep out or both in equal parts. Yet this is a new one on me – the living statue apparently suspended in mid-air and looking quite relaxed about it too. So, how does he do it?” w/ photos

Jesus Revives A Cooked Fish PRANK

“There’s an old song that asks if you believe in miracles. The answer would be easy after witnessing this miraculous event when Jesus brings a cooked fish back to life on the plate!” — JFL

“Dodging buses and cars in the morning rush hour could be a thing of the past for the hard-done-by cyclist – thanks to a new invention by a group of bike boffins. Three companies in the Czech Republic have teamed up to make a prototype of an electric bicycle that is capable of flying. The amazing machine is currently controlled remotely while in development but its designers hope to have it capable of carrying people soon.” w/ photos

How Sunscreen Works

“Sunscreen works against UV rays by both reflecting and absorbing them. Inorganic materials repel the rays and the organic ones take the rays in and then shed them as heat. 8,15,30,50. If you guessed that what all of these numbers have in common is that they are grades of sunscreen, you’re right. But, beyond that what do they really mean, and, for that matter, how does sunscreen really work, anyway?” — geobeats

Holding Hands With A Manatee

“This is the touching moment a gentle manatee reached out to hold hands with diver Ellen Cuylaerts. She was greeted by a herd of the marine mammals – affectionately known as sea cows – as they swam upstream in search of warmer waters. But one particular female manatee took a shine to Ellen – who quickly grabbed her underwater camera to capture a memento. The heart-warming interaction was captured on film by Ellen’s husband Michael.” — Barcroft TV

Baby Ostrich Slowly Falls Asleep

“They’re the biggest bird on the planet, but they have to start somewhere. These tiny adorable chicks will grow up to be up to 9 feet tall and weigh 350 pounds. With spots and stripes and porcupine like backs they don’t look much like the adults they become, but who can complain? Their too cute for words. Warning: This may be the cutest two minutes of your life.” — camelsandfriends

Chocolate Rum

“Back in the day, pirates ruled the seas. Fearsome and bloodthirsty, their ability to overcome physical disabilities was matched only by their exuberant facial hair and exotic pets. Everyone knows that rum was their drink of choice, but it’s a little known fact that they also enjoyed fine Italian chocolate. So you can imagine the potential pirate punch-ups when they heard about this swashbuckling combination. Handcrafted in Italy (so you know it’s good) it tastes like Pirate Heaven… assuming you’re an angry pirate and think Heaven tastes like melted chocolate ice cream washed down with strong rum and a fist fight.” w/ photos

Top 5 Great Movies With Mind-Blowing Symbolism You Didn’t Notice

“Most of the time, it’s pretty easy to tell what a movie is about: Lincoln is about Lincoln. The Hangover is about some dudes who get a hangover. Tree of Life is about… you know, things. However, sometimes a movie you’ve seen a million times will convince you it’s about something very simple, when, in fact, there was a hidden meaning all along that the director intentionally put there, but for some reason didn’t want you to find. For instance…” w/ photos
