My favorites, these posters for The Truman Show.

A 1500 year old sport/dance hybrid from Myanmar, Southeast Asia, where there are no opposing teams or winners and the “goal” is to play the game most beautifully performing moves of amazing foot skills, as complicated as possible, for the longest time. [wiki] There is also a documentary.

Where does size begin and end? Probably not where the smallest or biggest things we know. Two videos for you to think twice next time you “think big”

Drak Roasted Blend compiles series of great photos of all kinds with the common denominator of being stuff you probably haven’t seen ever before (and you probably won’t in person). Here are some examples of “inventions” and “design problem solving”: Lords of the Logistics, Part 3 (Necessity is the mother of invention)

A japaneese group called u-min performing the best robotic moves the world has ever seen, along with genius slow motion action in real time. It won a post here at minute 2:15.

El puto descojono (= bloody fucking hilarious).

Daily episodes of Jon Stewart’s The Daily Show and Colbert Report are uploaded to Dailymotion.com, but let’s make sure you also watch the jewels from the past, especially the time when Stephen Colbert was on The Daily Show with Steve Carrell.

With the excuse of this spectacular multiphotograph of a solar eclipse [via Neatorama], I repost a thought on the phenomena from 2003 (below).

There’s something more fascinating in sun eclipses than the eclipse itself

Sun eclipses occur because and only because the combination of the diameter of the moon, the diameter of the sun, and the distance between the sun and the moon and between the moon and us is perfect. If just one of these values were different, sun eclipses simply wouldn’t exist on Earth. It looks like it has been calculated to the milimeter by… coincidence? No comment.

Or the proof that it was an underrated instrument. I wonder if they can also blow into the sound hole for extra ambient tunes.
