		| Terrific! Some are classics, some are new to me. Very cool stuff. 35, the headless gymnast, and 37, the 4-winged goose, are wonderful. |

		Some of these look photoshopped... not to say they are though. 
 
 The headless gymnast is pretty cool.  At first glance, #7 looked like an eye, really awesome!  
 
 Thanks for sharing.  :)

 You betcha. As a lifelong yacht racer, I've got nothing but admiration for Alex Thomson and how he pulled that one off. Here's the story and a video of the stunt.

		Thanks Bear_Music for the video of the keel walk.  I thought for sure that was photoshopped.  You've got to be confidant in the ocean to want to pull off a stunt like that.  Very cool.
 
 As for the picture of the Starbucks truck - how funny.  One would think someone would have noticed that every time a delivery guy slides the side door all the way open on the van the word "sucks" word appear next to their logo.  What were they thinking? |

		Some of those are contrived rather than just a matter of timing, but they still look cool. Thanks for the enlightenment about #21, Bear. #26 made me grin.
