Between the Legs!!! AGAIN!!!

Last year at the 2009 US Open, Roger Federer had an amazing between the legs shot as you can see below. This year at the same tournament he has had another, you can see it in the bottom video. Just awesome!

Super-Human!

I think that this story is so good it doesn't matter how many times someone reads about it. As with my earlier Human-Show post, this was also something that was big on the news yesterday and I watched it at home.

The 33 Chilean miners who had been trapped by a cave-in for 17 days were reached by rescuers with a tiny drilled hole. The miners had only 2 days of food in their shelter-in-place special shelter. As in the article I read today they were so disciplined that they had not only stretched the food supply 15 additional days but they still had some left.

It is so difficult to imagine that they are more than a half-mile below ground and the plan is to bore a hole big enough to lift them out. That is a long way to be hoisted out especially since it will take a few months to bore out a hole that big for them so they will have to stay put for now.

The story about how they have survived and how they will have to continue to survive until they can be retrieved is such a great story about human determination and survival, I hope this doesn't fall off of the grid of news in the time between now and their return to the surface.

Fast Crash!

Yesterday morning before I left for work, I saw a quick video about this crash but I didn't end up with time to post anything about it. The video below is better because it shows the remains of the car and has more information than the initial video.

Duct Tape Prom

Today I read an article about a contest for college scholarships that involves making the best prom clothing with duct tape. I have no idea how I came to decide to read this article but now I am posting about it here!

The article is here and it has a slideshow of the winners and some of the honorable mention outfits. There were over 200 submissions from across the US and Canada and once it was narrowed down to the top 10 there was voting for the winner.

Here is the link to the scholarship contest website.

It is definitely worth checking out the pictures of the outfits!
