In music to "ritard" is to gradually slow the tempo. It works in life, too: do something wickedly wonderful that makes everything stop til you get yourself together. Laugh yourself silly and drag others along with you!

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.

I think my cooking would be better received if presented in costume, no?

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?

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.

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.
