Hands down one of my favorite internet cats of all time, this is a video of Maru demonstrating his ability to melt himself into glass fishbowls. Man, he is GOOD at it. If I were half as good at anything as Maru is at melting into fishbowls, maybe I’d have

Admittedly, he does sound exactly like a bird. The costume certainly doesn’t hurt either. Next year I plan to win the competition with a cleverly
This is a video of musician Joel James singing Rick Astley’s ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ entirely backwards, then playing it forwards to see how close he was. The result? Amazingly close. Better than I can even sing the song forwards, especially at karaoke night when everyone realizes the song
