This is a short video of a contortionist performing a series of moves and poses that almost made me forget his upper body is connected to his lower body. Or is it?! Dum dum dum! He begins with some flips where his feet and hands touch the ground simultaneously, and

This is a video of Midnight providing a clear example of what happens when you’re last in line when God is handing out the typically standard-issue nimble cat package. I like how he knocks over all the pictures, then goes back and knocks over more. That’s dedication. I wonder how
