Olivier Grossetête's Bridge

All foot bridges should be designed like this one. Not train or car bridges, though. That's just frightening.

Fire Rainbows

Technically, they're circumhorizontal arcs: a layer of ice droplets all similar enough in size to make an ice rainbow. You have to be in the right place at the right time (as angles and sun and such have to line up perfectly) like daslasher1 was to capture this photo.

Yueko's Top MOdel

Grampas are awesome, but Liu Xianping is off the charts! He's a model for his granddaughter's clothing line. Yup, you read it right. That's him in 4 of the winter ensembles.

Doppleganger



Everyone on the planet has a doppelganger, right? So I shouldn't be shocked that dude found his at the museum  IN A PAINTING!! Is is weird that I think this is equally awesome/totally creepy? Read more about this bizarre doppelganger episode here.

fra.biancoshock's stress reilever

I think I'd go for the 10 minute stress relief sheet of bubble wrap even if I were feeling especially giddy. And I am adding this to my bucket list, as soon as I can figure out where to install it. Provided my family can part with the bubble wrap...

Skittles Sorting Machine 2

 YaY! No more accidentally eating that one color I hate. Is it weird that I find the sorting sound soothing?

I soooo wish I had the ability to do stuff like this with my video equipment and computer skills.

Why Real Life Needs Soundtracks: Cats vs. Laser

Yes, it's another video of kittens chasing a laser beam. Yawn. And I totally agree. But WAIT! There's a dramatic soundtrack embedded....thus proving my point that live would be so much better if it came with background music.

How to tie your shoes super fast!

Yup, that'll cause gasps. Especially since the couldn't-possibly-be-reading-a-script kid is right about his friends.

Fruit Loops or Cheerios

I don't know the source for this amazing poster, but I DO know I want it painted on my basement wall.

Helicopter Fishing

 While toodling around in their chopper these Gleetards saw someone flying a small RC hobby plane. Sadly, it crashed into the treetops. Lookit what happens at 1:40. (The language is far from PG, so be wary of little ears, or your boss!)

Street Artist ROA

It's technically spray painted "Graffiti" but I think it's art. The building is in Johannesburg, South Africa. Fitting, eh? Roah's artwork can be seen here.
