Heights! Yikes!

WARNING!!! DO NOT WATCH THIS VIDEO IF YOU ARE AFRAID OF HEIGHTS!

So with that warning to begin with, I saw this video today and I thought it was so awesome, there was no way I could avoid sharing it. I like being inside of buildings at high places for viewpoints but I would never do this. I would be nervous climbing a telephone pole in my neighborhood, but I will probably never have to try that.

While I watched this video, I was unable to look away, it was very engrossing and I can admit that I ended up getting sweaty hands while watching so I am not a candidate for this type of work.

I hope that those of you who are not afraid of heights will enjoy this video and for those who are afraid, I hope that if you do watch it against the warning I posted that you enjoy it and remember that you are safe sitting in your chair in front of your computer screen.

Tiny Cow

This give "have a cow" a whole new meaning, in this case "have a mini-cow!"

In England, there is a cow that measures only 33 inches long...that is less than a regular human stride length.

The cow is named Swallow and is 11 years old. Here is a brief article that also has a picture.

3-D Speedbump

This is really weird and really awesome. I read this very interesting article about an alternative to speedbumps. At a school in Canada they have painted an elongated picture of a child on the pavement, which as you drive toward it appears as a 3-D optical illusion, hopefully getting drivers to brake not to hit the phantom child.
Now, imagine the possibilities for this...I am envisioning advertisements painted in parking garages (which is what this picture looks like) so drivers coming and going will see some brand name image pop-up in front of them.

I think the best part of it all is that the painted child is named "Pavement Patty!" Hahahahaha!

Maybe painting something that won't create emergency stops and rear-end collisions might have been a little better? I can imagine a bunch of things that might be more appropriate but I am sure this will get the message across to drivers.

Fire Tornado

Behold the awesome spectacle and power of fire and wind! Ok, that was probably unnecessary but a fire tornado is still pretty cool and it echoes the title of the article I found this in. The video below has a few seconds of footage of one of these rare occurrences. Here is the article link where I found the video.

Awesome Burgers

So eating one of these might not be healthy, but it might just be really yummy! I read this piece about burger wars heating up. They talked about a Krispy Kreme Burger!!! I thought that it sounded interesting but I can't quite wrap my mind around it.

They also mentioned that Five Guys Burgers & Fries were on the rise and there was one of these near where I used to live and I never went, I guess I will have to make a special trip.

Here in Seattle there are a few places with burger reputations but I haven't been to them so I will just pass on the names - Redmill, Lunchbox Laboratory(their old website was much more fun and informative) and The Counter!

I know there are more in Seattle, let alone anywhere but

Meal in a can! Candwich, perhaps?

I watched this video today and had to share it! It is about a fellow who had the idea of putting a sandwich inside a can and then whenever the can was opened there would be a fresh sandwich ready to be eaten, pretty great idea, huh?

After a little more research I found out that this product is held up in some legal proceedings but I think it will be interesting. Now, how about a pancake in a can?

Back to the Candwich for a moment, here is a print article about the product just like the picture at the top of the page.

Berlitz Commercials

A group member of mine in one of my classes came across this first video, which is a commercial for Berlitz language courses and I thought it was so funny! I have found a few others also and posted them here too! Enjoy!
