Tarp Surfing

Whenever you feel the need to surf, but you’re too far away from the ocean, simply call a friend, get a hold on a giant blue tarp, grab your skateboard and start surfing.

UFO Over Chinese Airport

On July 9, 2010, an unexplained phenomenon appeared over the Xiaoshan Airport in Hangzhou, China, causing massive flight delays.

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.

The Kung Fu Bear

An Asiatic Black bear attracted attention in a Japanese zoo, after keepers discovered it spent hours twirling a stick.

The bear, also known as Claude, lives in A-sa Zoo logical park in Hiroshima, and spends hours on his stick, twisting and twirling it.

He’s been obsessed with the sticks since he arrived at the Zoo six years ago after his mother was caught in a trap and killed in the forests of Hiroshima.

At-At Day Afternoon

There is nothing I could really say besides, ‘Star Wars fans must watch this video!’ It is a short video showing a day in the life of a Pet AT-AT Walker, which is absolutely adorable and really well developed.



Created by Patrick Boivin, this video shows the running around of an AT-AT Walker from the time it wakes up and going through his daily adventures as if it was a new puppy.
