Competing in the 3A division of the World Yo-Yo Contest, this is a video of Hajime Miura’s winning dual yo-yo performance. And what a performance it is! If he’d performed this for a king and queen in medieval times there’s no doubt in my mind they’d kill the court jester

Damn, that has to sting. Like how I imagine my nieces and

This is a video of P!NK the border collie demonstrating her skills by blasting through an agility course at ludicrous speed, beating the next-best competitor by over 2 seconds. Such agility! For reference, I just watched one of my dogs fall off the couch trying to scratch his back on

This is a video of 21-year old Dutchman Jarmo Slutter performing his winning seagull imitation at the European Gull Screeching Championship held in Adinkerke, Belgium. 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
