King’s Pathway Hike in Spain
Don't watch this if you're afraid of heights. If I were hiking this, I would have never made it past the sections where the pathway has fallen away entirely. I wonder how many people fall to their death from this path every year? (Thanks, Darren!)

Shrimp on a Treadmill
Scientific researchers placed a shrimp on a shrimp-size treadmill in order to measure its speed and endurance. This information, they say, "will give us a better idea of how marine animals can perform in their native habitat when faced with increasing pathogens and immunological challenges." Luckily for us, they videotaped the experiment.The video has become hugely popular on the internet, spawning numerous remixes. For instance, witness Shrimp Jamming to Muzak:
There are so many of these remixes you could probably spend an entire day watching them.

You DO NOT want to mess with this guy. You don't want to make fun of his dancing either.Some of you may have seen the video before. Apparently it's well-known on the internet, but it was new to me. Urban Dictionary has a brief discussion of it.

Chewing Gum Sculptor
I recently met a woman who could tie a knot in the stem of a maraschino cherry with her tongue. I thought that was pretty impressive. But what this Romanian chewing gum sculptor can do is even more impressive.

After watching this, I've developed a sudden fear of being eaten alive by fungi.

The Face Workout
I'm not about to try these exercises. I'd worry my face would get stuck that way.
