An anvil, the heavy iron object used often in Looney Tunes/ACME gags, can be seen in the video above being shot very, very high into the air by Gay Wilkinson. Gay Wilkinson is a world champion anvil shooter. I didn’t know there was even such a title that existed. [via]
Two elk taking a bath during a forest fire

Photo by John McColgan (NASA has a larger version here)
Taken in 2000 by John McColgan and spread online via email chain (every time there is a major forest fire, it seems), this amazing once-in-a-lifetime photograph shows two elk fleeing a fire at Bitterroot National Forest in Montana. The photograph has been claimed by some to be a fake, but Snopes did some research and found it to be completely unaltered. The only thing untrue about this photograph is that sometimes people include it in random forest fire news stories that have nothing to do with the Bitterroot National Forest fire back in 2000.

Wow, I used to watch this show when I was younger. I don’t recall this particular segment on architecture but I do remember that it was hip to rap about stuff back in the 80’s and 90’s. It’s amazing, but true! [via]
