I thought it was pretty impressive how fast they were running and also that there were no broken heels or tragic falls while running (at least in the video piece). Here is another little article but the video is more informative!

Stiletto Racing?
I saw this video about stiletto heel relay racing and there was nothing that could be done to keep me from posting it to The Human Show! Here is the link to the video. I thought it was pretty impressive how fast they were running and also that there were no broken heels or tragic falls while running (at least in the video piece). Here is another little article but the video is more informative!

Katy Perry Follow-up
This morning totally unexpected to me I saw an article link picture of Katy Perry in this Elmo shirt. 
Apparently it was on SNL over the weekend but I have to play the part of the disconnected "old guy" on this since I didn't watch it and in reality I know very little about Katy Perry as well. Oh well, I still enjoyed this piece I read this morning along with the funny pictures of her many crazy outfits.

Sesame Street & Katy Perry
This is one of the most ridiculous things I have read in a very long time so it had to be posted on the Human Show. Sesame Street has celebrity guests on all the time, this should be no surprise but when something like this that is so benign and silly it makes you just wonder about people and their common sensce.
The article I read is here and it is about a video of Katy Perry singing and running around in front of a cartoon city with Elmo that was posted on Youtube by Sesame Street as part of promoting the upcoming season. Parents who watched it then began to comment on Katy Perry's clothing. Shocking that people would get upset over practically nothing, right? I mean, like half of the muppets walk around without any clothes in all of their bare furry glory!
I have the video below and I only watched about half since it was so silly and half of the words and the context of the song were already changed to make it appropriate for the show anyway.

More Miners
Remember the Chilean miners that are trapped in their mine that I posted about last month? I have read at least an article a week about them and how the progress is coming toward their return to the surface. This week I read an article that I felt would be good for The Human Show.
This article was about how the miners, who have been trapped for over 40 days now, have received over 1000 job offers once they return to the surface. This is quite a big show of support from other employers and the jobs they are offering aren't underground, which might have been a hard sell for them anyway once they return to the surface.
One low point in the article that I hadn't heard about yet was that the mining company they had been working for has filed bankruptcy saying it can't even pay the miners. Now after being stuck for well over a month and probably a couple more months before they will get out, they aren't even being paid and they have to work around the clock in shifts to remove the debris from the drilling that is being done to rescue them. I guess they are working quite literally for survival.
I am sad for the miners and their families but I am encouraged about humans in general as this goes on and these men show some of the best character in the history of human kind!

Dog Yoga?
This post isn't specifically about people as I usually aim for the Human Show to be.
Yesterday I was intrigued by an article on yoga for dogs. I wasn't able to read it at the time and I can't find it now but during my internet search, I was surprised to find as many sites about Doga (dog-yoga)!
One of them (Yoga4dogs) offers a video for sale so you can do doga at home with your dog.
Another site was selling calendars of dogs in yoga positions(above).
Here is a brief article from a few years ago as well.
I guess this post to the Human Show is relevant as the dogs aren't going to take the class or do the positions on their own and this demands the human interaction.

Gravy Wrestling...?
The World Gravy Wrestling Championships have been held at a pub in Lancashire, UK. I was puzzled by this, when I heard about it and ultimately I had to dig a little deeper to unnderstand why jello and mud wrestling aren't enough for these people, they apparently need more!
Here is a video of the spectacle, it appears that they dress up in silly costumes as well, I'm not sure why the costumes are needed, perhaps to make it more ridiculous than wrestling in gravy???
Here is a news piece about the current championships.
