      This seems hard to believe but it’s true.

        What is a "Dead Loop?"

        The ‘Dead Loop’ is a classic gymnastic move that consists of a gymnast standing on the high bar, performing a backflip and grasping the bar again. Needless to say, it is a dangerous stunt and can go horribly wrong if the gymnast misses his or her footing or does not manage to grasp the bar in the end.

            Watch repair. This guy’s channel is zen. Too bad you have to watch rather than just listen. His voice over would be a perfect soporific.

                      A picture of the inhabitants of Miyake-jima in Japan. A small island with a active volcano in the center, which regular shoots out poisonous gas. Because of that, even today, all residents and tourists are required to carry a gas mask with them, and if the alarms go off, they need to put it on.

                                    Arkansas School for the Deaf has their nickname be the Leopards.

                                    They are known as the Deaf Leopards!

                                      In 1974, when the mummy of Ramses II (died 1213 B.C.) had to be flown to Paris for restoration, it was issued a valid Egyptian passport, including a photo of the pharaoh's ancient face. His occupation was listed as “King (deceased).

                                        A friend was flying his cargo 747 from Hawaii to the west coast last night and got this "Pilot Response" message.

                                        This pops up is neither pilot touches any controls or switches or buttons for a long period of time, I think it is usually set at about 1 hour.

                                        This is rarely seen except for long flights like this one across the Pacific.

                                        The 747 doesn't want the pilots to fall asleep.
