Got a favorite fishing spot? Well, you ain’t never seen nothin’ like this one in Lake Antogo, Mali. On one day a year, the Dogon people can fish in the sacred water of the lake – and fish they do: the lake gets emptied in minutes!
This short clip is from the DVD which includes behind the scenes in Charlie Chaplin's film 'The Circus'. Attending the premiere at Manns Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, CA - the scene shows a large woman (or man), dressed in black and a hat, talking into something that only be described as a mobile phone device or possibly a walkie-talkie. Remember this is from 1928.
The story circulating about this video is that the man on the motorcycle is a gymnast. Just before he smacked into the side of a truck, he intentionally vaulted over the handlebars. At the end of the video, on his feet and apparently not seriously injured, the man walked back into view.
Allegedly, this video was taken from security camera footage from a highway in the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don. A police officer pulls over a motorist. As he talks to the driver, a pack of wolves or wild dogs attack him. The officer jumps into the backseat of the car to escape them.
Some people on the Internet think that this video is fake. What do you think? For more details.
Lost his arms from an accident at age 10, Liu Wei from Beijing never gives up living strong. He managed to do everything with his feet and started to learn to play piano at age 19. His dream is to become a musician. He is now 22 and just won the China’s Got Talent Show on Oct. 10, 2010. In the final, he played piano and sang the song “You Are Beautiful”, perhaps his vocal is not the best render of this song, but the power and inspiration of his zest for life won him the final. Bravo! Liu Wei’s motto is,”I have two options – I can die as fast as possible, or I can live a brilliant life. And I chose the latter.”

One comment:
What you are seeing is not a trail from the ground, but a trail over the horizon. It was not launched it was reentering. Its hard to gauge with no frame of reference, but it looks like it was huge and in really high orbit. For it to trail that far means it was either designed to survive reentry, or incredibly dense. You can see it drop part of its trail about halfway through, meaning it punched through a layer of atmosphere and pressure changed rapidly, or possibly it intentionaly slowed down, or that it dropped a part of its structure or broke up thus quickly changing size. I am inclined to believe it was an unintentional reentry, the Chinese are up to all kinds of crap, and historically their space launches and operations have always been over their own soil rather than over the ocean like the rest of the civilized world. There is no human technology I know of that can slow a man made object reentering that quickly, the shuttle circles the planet like 3 times to shave off speed.

April Pignataro and Michael Curry of New York City got married yesterday. The bride wore a white wetsuit and the groom wore a traditional black wetsuit as they climbed inside a 120,000 gallon shark tank to take their vows at Atlantis Marine World in Riverhead, N.Y. Both are experienced divers, and said their “I dos” over a radio transmitter with an officiant who did not get in the tank.
“My mom was against it,” Pignataro said. “She was concerned that my makeup and hair were going to get messed up in the water. But . . . I’m a tomboy. Hair and makeup don’t mean a whole lot to me.”
