Bird’s Eye: Those with high blood pressure or severe acrophobia might want to skip these. Even scarier than the slinky movie.

* Amazing Freestyle Soccer Tricks YouTube

He comes from some other planet. You can tell by his moves.

* Freestyle Train Surfing YouTube

I don’t want any Tikkunista readers even thinking about doing this. Understand?

You won’t be disappointed!



7. Meanwhile, In a Parallel Universe Far Far Away…

May-06-2011 | Comments (0)

Bird’s Eye: While spending hours digging for the most clever, insightful, and entertaining sites on the net, the Tikkunista gnomes occasionally turn up sites that are, not to put too fine a point on it, bat-shit crazy. Here are three examples. I’ve suffered for my magazine, and now it’s your turn.

* World Top Secret: Our Earth Is Hollow!

Could the earth, moon, planets and stars all be hollow bodies? Amazingly, the answer is Yes! And very likely inhabited within!

What is Our Hollow Earth like?

It is a terrestrial paradise, where the original Garden of Eden is located today, where the Lost Tribes of Israel live, where the Political Kingdom of God is located, where the Lost Viking Colonies of Greenland migrated to, where vanquished Germans migrated to after World War II, where flying saucers come from, where people live to be hundreds of years old in perfect health, where peace and prosperity exists for everyone, where Heaven is located (the inner sun)

* Facial Flex Infomercial Is Somehow Both Classy And Weird. Mostly Weird. Boing Boing

* Imaginary Dwarves Cost Judge Job

A judge has lost his job in the Phillipines, on the grounds that he regularly consulted with imaginary mystical dwarves who would join him in ‘healing’ sessions. Judge Florentino Floro, from Manila, was originally removed from his post in April, after it emerged that he believed himself to be psychic, and that he would begin his court session with readings from the Book of Revelation. In appealing that decision, Judge Floro mounted a staunch defence of the existence of his three dwarf friends – who were named Armand, Luis and Angel – telling the court in a letter that they had made a covenant together.

…. The court found that he was unable to carry out his duties due to ‘mental unfitness’, adding that this could ‘erode the public’s acceptance of the judiciary as the rational guardian of the law.’

Armand, Luis and Angel were unavailable for comment.
