How the heck...

Impressive, combining the leg in the air with super spinning... makes me dizzy.

1. That is damned impressive control. Legit kudos and applause to her.

2. I am now waiting for someone to do a GIF of her drilling through the ice. I feel bad about it, but also strangely serene... *<:*)X

Michael Grab is an artist who specialises in constructing carefully balanced piles of rock. None of these are stuck together in any way...

If it's any comfort, most of his work falls over after "a few minutes to a few days" so it just ends up lying around on the ground where he got it from. :)

The fact they are able to stand for any period of time is impressive. I'm in awe.

If he was a football player who beat him up in highschool?
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Since he's from California, the hippies do the beatings.

This looks like somebody decided to toy with mixing color with grayscale, maybe as an homage to the "girl in the red coat" from Schindler's List.

But it's actually an undoctored photo taken in the aftermath of a volcano eruption in Indonesia. When the eruption left a thin layer of ash over the landscape, the flower was still a bud. After the dust had settled, it bloomed to become a vivid splash of red in the ashy gray landscape. The result is a striking photo with an inspirational message for the ages: Sometimes success means being born at the right time.
