Parkour or not, this Damien chap has some amazing aerial talents. He’s making all those twists and turns look easy, but I’d hate to have his knees at 50.

French-born, London-based hair master Charlie Le Mindu creates the most outrageous wigs. I’d love to see these walking down the street!

Multi-talented Aung Zaw Oo takes parkour-style skills in a different direction by throwing in skateboards, swords and some mild juggling into the mix.

I can’t help but stare at these huge monster cows! Apparently, they originate in 19th century Belgium by crossing local cattle with British cattle.

The Belgian Blue cattle are gigantic bovine wonders. Their enormous size and muscle mass, sometimes called “double muscling,” is a naturally occurring mutation of the gene for myostatin, a protein that regulates muscle growth. This mutation results in accelerated lean muscle growth.

For show, they’re often shaved to show off their muscle growth.

See this video below for a little insight into their “development”. Watch as they collect the semen from one bull for artificial insemination (not kidding!)

Though taxidermic samples aren’t for the squeamish, artist Sabrina Brewer takes it to the next level to create compelling sculptures that mix and match dead animal parts to give “life” to creatures from fantasy.

Think griffins, unicorns and undead three-headed squirrels. If that floats your cryptozoologist boat, then have a look at her website at which you can buy your very own pair of Siamese Squirrel twins.

Whilst looking at shots of vodka isn’t exactly at the top of our activities list (although its above watching the washing machine spin), this Bloody Brain Shooter concoction had us compelled to stare.

Mixing acidic lime juice and irish cream creates the curdling brain-like strands and un-tasty as it looks, sounds like it goes down a dream.

Watch this short video to see members of the dance group Pilobolus come together behind the screen to create some cool shadow puppet scenes. The best bits have to be the moment just before the scenes are created.

Thanks David!

There’s some wicked airs and spins in this video, shot in Edinburgh. I never thought a bike could clear such heights and obstacles, but more for the creative I guess.

WTF?! Out of all the challengers, this competitor from the Tough Guy Challenge 2009, must be the toughest!

This is one of those videos that you just need to watch for a bit, even if you’ve seen something similar. The initial tantalising edits, which cut before the boxing glove hits the faces, eventually reveal all the face vibrating glory from about half way through, rewarding your patience.
