When he started moving, my jaw dropped!
There are street performers and then there are street performers. This guy falls into the genius side of it. There have been many nights (after a couple of drinks of course) where we have all thought we could move like this, but I am venturing a guess that it didn’t look EXACTLY like this.
The man has ridiculous skills and it must have taken countless hours perfecting his art.

Take one orange and one balloon: you wouldn’t believe what happens
The science they teach you in school sucks compared to ridiculous things like this. Not exactly sure how someone figured this one out, but it is very cool.
You know when you peel an orange your fingers are probably a bit sticky and a little greasy and they smell all nice like citrus. Well that stuff is heavy on limonene, which is an essential oil. It is a little wonder of nature which is great for your skin as it hydrates it and makes you smell like you have been rolling around in oranges.
When you put it on a balloon it is however not as friendly… Have a look at the little clip below. Weird stuff. Now I just wonder: how bored must the scientist have been to have thought “today I will sit with various fruit, squeeze them over balloons and see what happens”.
Amazing Little Wooden Box of Tricks!
Everyone needs one of these in their backyard. The man, the legend behind this awesome little wooden box of tricks: Izzy Swan.
This is one of the coolest things I have seen in some time just once again showing what amazing things we humans can create. The man has got some serious skills in woodworking and created a little masterpiece.
Many of these folding types of designs sometimes look like they wouldn’t be that sturdy, but it is easy to see that this is not the case with the Eizzy Folding Table.
It looks more like a treasure check or magic box of some sorts, but when he starts unfolding it it is just amazing. Hauling this around would be far easier than trying to carry four chairs and a table. Often times this is the main flaw in these types of folding designs. They are often just not practical. They look cool, but you can’t really see where or when you can really use it.
This would be a great addition to anyone’s camping set up. I can just picture myself whipping this one out when we go fishing and looking like a rockstar because I didn’t forget a table or a chair 🙂
The man’s genius should be shared!
The Awesomest Grand Chicken Hotel
Tiffany is the Fancy Farmgirl and her work is truly impressive. Who said farming should be all dull and dreary work in the mud and dust wearing khaki? Not that I have anything against it, but Tiffany really does show another side of farming which I am sure will appeal to everyone
The Fancy Farmgirl is the owns 30 free range chickens. Now these chickens don’t live in your average coop, they live in the Awesomest Grand Chicken Hotel in my opinion. Tiffany decided that her chickens would enjoy life in luxury and put together the best life that they could wish for.
She started out with a shed that she bought from Home Depot and then she got stuck in to transforming it into what you see here.
They only receive the best treatment
Tiffany wanted to give the coop the feel of a rustic boutique hotel and succeeded!
This must be the only shed or chicken coop in the world with chandeliers
Tiffany says the chickens work for her and her family by providing them with eggs
The chickens are outside most of the day and have been taught to get in and out of the shed in the mornings and evenings
The biggest fluffiest hen of the lot: Narnia
Anyone would love sitting here on a late afternoon reading as the chickens come back into the coop
The original coop when they only had 3 chickens
So I’ve been meaning to build a coop at our home… Let the creative juices flow!!!
What He Shares Is Spine-Chilling
A remarkable story about a boy named Luke Ruehlman started making the rounds recently because of a fairly bizarre claim that he used to be a lady named Pam.
That sounds ridiculous I know. However he is not the only one…
Luke’s mother thought that it was just the overactive imagination of her son. Based on the detail that Luke was able to provide about Pam his mother was able to do some research and find this Pam! She was a 30-year old African American woman who died in exactly the way that her son described.
You don’t need to believe in reincarnation to get chills from that. The coincidence is however a bit eerie.
Our story will however look at a boy named Ryan Hammons. At the age of 4 he started having nightmares for no apparent reason and he found it difficult to explain it. A couple of months later he started telling his mother more about it.
The short version of it was that he was alive during the golden age of Hollywood in the 1930’s and 1940’s. Usually when a child makes up a story it is very easy to see right through it. This was however not the case as his mother, Cyndi Hammons told TODAY: “His stories were so detailed and they were so extensive, that it just wasn’t like a child could have made it up”.
It covered everything from expensive and lavish vacations to having five different wives.
As Cyndi looked through a book about Hollywood her son Ryan pointed at a man in a photo and said that he was that man in a past life. Cyndi was really shocked about this and thought the only thing to do is for her son to see a child psychiatrist to dig deeper into these bizarre claims.
More and more details started to surface about what Ryan remembered and there were about 55 different accurate accounts about Marty Martyn that he could remember. By the way, Marty passed away in 1964.
His mother then started researching old Hollywoood to find out more about Marty Martyn and the claims from he son was proven right every time. Marty was a Hollywood agent and also played a couple of smaller roles in movies at the time. He even had the age at which Marty died correct at 61 years old, not 59 as it is wrongly stated on his death certificate.
The story of Ryan, who is now 10 years old, is featured in a book by Dr. Jim Tucker called Return to Life: Extraordinary Cases of Children Who Remember Past Lives.
You Won’t Believe The Smiles
Dancing is good for your soul and keeps you young. As we grow older we should embrace it, much like these old people did. Very often you will see old people who have worked hard all their lives only to be forgotten and left to their own devices.
The guys from Meadowbrook Senior Living facility decided to make a music video of their residents. There is so much joy and happiness left in them and they thoroughly enjoyed making this video as can be seen from the smiles on their faces.
It will be one of the best ways you can spend 2 minutes of your time today. The other thing you could do is to give your grandmother or grandfather a call and let them know you are thinking of them!
Share it with your friends and let all our grandparents know how much they mean to us.
