A World Globe Made Out of Thousands of Individually Painted Matchsticks
part of me appreciates the art and part of me wants to set it on fire

WE DIDN’T START THE FIRE
IT WAS ALWAYS BURNIN’ SINCE THE WORLD’S BEEN TURNIN’

The Man Who Rode The Thunder
In this week’s OKTBS video all about the amazing world of clouds, I mentioned the story of Lt. Col. William Rankin, the only known person to survive a fall through a cumulonimbus thunderstorm cloud.
In 1959, after the engine of his F-8 fighter malfunctioned as he attempted to fly over a storm, Rankin was forced to eject directly into the heart of the thunderhead. His parachute ride from 47,000 feet (14,326 m) above Earth should have taken ten minutes, but instead it took him forty. The punishment he endured on the way down is almost beyond belief.
This video tells the story of the trip that made William Rankin the only human to have ever lived inside of a cloud. I hope he never had to pay for a beer for the rest of his life, because this man was one of the baddest asses to ever walk the Earth.

My not!sister makes these too:

Two or three times over the years, in two different Girl Guide troops, they taught us to make what they described as “Ukrainian Easter eggs”. Every single time, the Guiders appeared to think this would be a more novel way to celebrate Easter, rather than the normal boring Easter eggs that we would obviously already be familiar with.
To this day, I am unsure how else one makes Easter eggs.

AFTER YOU BECOME A LEVEL EIGHT RAW VEGAN YOU CAN ASK THE ELDERS FOR ACCESS TO THE ORIGINAL WHOLE FOODS. ONCE INSIDE YOU CAN ALIGN THE RUNESTONES AND SCALLIONS TO SUMMON THE TRANSFORMING SPIRITS OF ANCIENT LOCAVORES.
IT’S ALL PRETTY ADVANCED STUFF. YOU ARE QUITE NEW TO OUR WAYS. FOR NOW YOU SHOULD PROBABLY JUST CONCENTRATE ON BUYING FAIR-TRADE AND REDUCING YOUR GLUTEN INTAKE.
