Third World Construction Techniques
Clearly they don’t have to worry about OSHA requirements over there, or any of that meddlesome workman’s compensation or other actual safety rules. After all, safety is for wussies!

The Chinese Can Build 15-Story Hotel in Six days! Why Can’t We?
November 22, 2010 By 6 Comments
A construction crew in the south-central Chinese city of Changsha completed a 15-story hotel in just six days! Holy crap! When you take a look at the amazing pace, organization and precision of the work it makes you think that the US absolutely SUCKS at construction!
And by the way, the Chinese aren’t putting up crappy buildings that you wouldn’t want to be caught dead in! Just take a look at the amazing buildings Trey Ratcliff captured on his recent trip to China over on StuckInCustoms.com.
Anyway, here is the description from Yahoo News on this new building:
The work crew erected the hotel — a soundproofed, thermal-insulated structure reportedly built to withstand a magnitude 9 earthquake — with all prefabricated materials. In other words, a crew of off-site factory workers built the sections, and their on-site counterparts arranged them on the foundation for the Ark project.
Despite the frenetic pace of construction, no workers were injured — and thanks to the prefab nature of the process, the builders wasted very few construction materials. Below is a time-lapse video that shows the hotel being built from the ground up in less than a week:

I don’t care if you don’t like basketball. Heck, I don’t care if you don’t even like sports in general! You MUST see the 2008 Slam Dunk Championship highlights reel here!
If the NBA were anything like this highlight reel, this would be the richest sport in the world! Without exaggeration, this slam dunk contest even involves a lit birthday cupcake! You’ve never seen anything like it…

The Contortionist Ross Sisters Sing Solid Potato Salad…Yee-haw!
April 28, 2010 By 6 Comments
Boy howdy. You do NOT see this every day!
Here’s an old song and dance routine from the 1940′s by the Ross sisters – a threesome who will make you writhe in your seat just watching them contort their bodies. I’m not kidding, I have a hard time watching these ladies!
Of course, I’ve seen other contortionists like Kristina Kireeva, but there is something like watching three contortionists doing it in unison that really super creeps me out. Take a look…

Amazing Soccer Trick Shots Video!
February 28, 2010 By 8 Comments
This video was forwarded on to me from my dad via mail and titled whoisthisguy.wmv! And I have to echo that question! Who the heck is this guy???
Seriously these are some of the most amazing soccer skills I’ve ever seen, no matter how many takes they scrapped while making this little video. This guy kicks a soccerball through a rolling tire, over a street to hit a beercan, and even throws something in the air and pegs it with the ball in mid-flight! Again, I’ve never seen anything like it…

Juan Francisco Casas Amazing Bic Pen Art
March 5, 2008 By 11 Comments
When I first encountered Juan Francisco Casas’ art I was stunned. Sure, there are a lot of artists out there that can draw lifelike figures. But how many of them work with nothing but a blue Bic pen? And draw photographs up to 10 feet tall? As far as I know – exactly one.
Here is what the Daily Mail had to say:
They may look like pin-sharp photographs – but these amazing pictures are actually drawings created with the humble ballpoint pen.
The stunning pictures, measuring up to 10ft high, were drawn by a rising star of the art world, Juan Francisco Casas.
Casas, 31, can use up to four 14p ballpoint pens for a canvas and his works are already a sell-out at exhibitions.
Formerly a traditional painter, Juan began the drawings three years ago based on photographs of nights out with his friends.
Kristina Kireeva – The Incredible Contortionist

I came across this video labeled “The worlds most flexible woman” about Kristina Kireeva. I’m not sure exactly how you would measure flexibility, but I am sure that no one could possibly beat her by much!
Here is an interview with Kristina conducted by CircusLand that sheds light on a few details. Kristina began training at the age of 12 and comes from an entire family of circus performers! Her mother, father and brother are all in the circus.
