Still Finding Ancient Buried Treasure

Still Finding Ancient Buried Treasure

It always seems so strange to me that there is still undiscovered buried treasure hidden about the world.  With all of our modern technology, archaeological hunts, and hundreds of treasure-hunters, the people of the past have still somehow managed to keep their secrets thousands of years after their deaths.

Zorbing–As deadly as it looks

Zorbing–As deadly as it looks

I had no earthly idea that Zorbing was even a thing.  Much less a recognized sport.  However, I think I’ll postpone trying it for a while.  Not unless I have walls guarding my every way down the mountain.  Who would have thought it could go so badly off course!

College Charm School

Interesting article talking about the move toward teaching college students manners.  Universities in the United States are beginning to offer lessons on charm for their students.  They’ll teach you everything from making a good impression to how to each a bread roll.  I think this is an excellent idea, manner are highly underrated in today’s day and age.  Considering the desperate need for jobs in the modern economy, students need all the advantages they can get, and this is a great way to get ahead of the pack.  Go colleges!

Who Knew?

Fascinating picture of a bicycle now grown into a tree.  What I find strange is the fact that the bike is so far off the ground.  I guess as the tree grew, it took the bike up with it?

Beware Criminal-Minded Cats Everyone (And the idiots behind the evil plots)

Bwahahahah!!!  Did they think the guards wouldn’t notice the duct tape?  I mean, I know that tape is good for everything, but it is not exactly invisible.  Oh, the stupidity.  It never ceases to amaze.

Brrrr…. -58 degrees!!

Brrrr…. -58 degrees in Russia!!

Wow, according to this article Russia is seeing weather approaching -58 degree Fahrenheit. I thought seeing my first ever blizzard was pretty amazing (which actually, it was–I kept thinking of the “Little House on the Prairie” books 😛 ), but that is nothing compared to what these people are going through.

I cannot imagine actually being alive in weather that cold.  It is the coldest winter in 70 years?  Makes global warming seem a little far-fetched with record cold like this.  How can the world be getting warmer, if we are experiencing temperatures like this?

On the other hand, I bet their snowmen will last forever!  Makes going out and building one that much more worthwhile.  But that raises the question of who actually wants to go outside in -58 degree temps to build a snowman. . . oh alright me!  Cold weather always excites me!  🙂

I think this dude shares my love of cold, how awesome is that trick?!?
