We never really stop to look at our shadows – It’s such an everyday thing that nobody really
notices them.
Some extremely talented artists are creating artistic shadows out of seemingly randomly placed
objects. Anything from wedding rings to trash are carefully placed in just the right spot to
create realistic shadows of everyday objects.
An average day arrest turned into great laughter for the Wisconsin Police Department when they discovered that the man they were arresting is named Beezow Doo-Doo Zopittybop-Bop-Bop.
Police received a complaint of excessive drinking and drug use in the area, after which they arrested Beezow. He was later charged with carrying a concealed weapon, possession of drug paraphernalia, and the possession of marijuana.
Zopittybob-Bob-Bop was previously named Jeffrey Drew Wilschike, and it’s unclear why he decided to change his name. The full police report can be found here
The Wall Of Death, also known as the Well Of Death, must be one of the scariest circus acts to be part of. Motorcyclists and car drivers drive their vehicles inside a cylindrical, near vertical wall, seemingly ignoring the basic laws of gravity.
The first circus act involving these near vertical walls took place in the early 1900′s at the Coney Island amusement park in New York. From there it spread to different countries around the world.
Over the years, this attraction died a slow death, and nowadays it can only be seen in India, where stuntmen ride inside the so called Well Of Death at breakneck speeds, without any safety gear. The well is build out of salvaged wood and does not appear to be safe at all.
Even though this is obviously a very dangerous stunt, I can only imagine the adrenalin rush these guys must be getting!
A young boy from England took his gaming obsession to a whole new level when he created his own real-life “Angry Birds” game. In the game of Angry Birds, the player shoots birds at pigs using a slingshot.
Sam Beards, a 12 year old from England, used to spend countless hours each day playing the infamous computer/cell phone game. After Sam discovered an old pumpkin cannon his father built for a previous Halloween, he asked his father, Dorian Beards, to help him build an Angry Birds game, utilizing the pumpkin cannon.
Together they painted various pumpkins to look like the birds and pigs from Angry Birds. They used old barrels and straw bales to build the playing field.
This real life version of Angry Birds is already attracting tons of visitors. Sam’s siblings, Jessica, Ben and Davy, are in charge of painting the pumpkins, while Sam fires the compressed air cannon which can shoot the pumpkins up to 1500feet.
Sam’s mother, Fiona, reckons that they might resurrect this game on a yearly basis around Halloween.

Natsumi Hayashi became an internet sensation at the end of 2010 after she started posting photos of herself “levitating”.
According to Hayashi, it was an English idiom that inspired her to start on her levitation journey – “To have ones feet firmly planted on the ground”. Hayashi doesn’t consider herself a practical person, and decided to not have her feet firmly on the ground.
She started uploading more and more photos of herself levitating in varies places all around Tokyo, and the photography and scenarios are getting more impressive by the day. Her facial expressions and body coordination looks extremely natural in her photos. Hayashi admits that people gets edgy and frightened, sometimes whispering that she’s gone mad, when she has to jump hundreds of times to get that perfect photo.
