This is a video from Little Oak Sanctuary in New South Wales, Australia, of Phoenix the miniature pony stunning it up for the camera. Phoenix was rescued incredibly emaciated from a neglectful owner but is now living his best life, and, having just had his hooves trimmed, is letting his
In continued ball related news, this is a video of the guys from Youtube channel How Ridiculous dropping 100,000 ping pong balls in an empty arena and filming the spectacle in ultra slow-motion. The result, well, the result is this video. The actual 100,000 ball drop begins around 12:50 though,
