Flying Stone Statue in Cairo
The bottom stone is trying to "hang on"
Leaning Statue by Emil Alzamora
Quintet of Smiles
Have you ever thought of human teeth as creepy?
Suspended
Circus Act Between Coconut Trees
Balancing a sculpture on a thin rope is hard, but making
one pose for gymnastic rings between two coconut trees
is definitely harder.
A Car and its Parking Space
Table by Cattelan
Look at how that copper hoop is supporting the table.
Gravity Defying Cars
If rockets don’t work, maybe these cars will. . .
The Farm in Kaipara, New Zealand
Somewhere in New Zealand, a giant dropped his handkerchief.
Empty Body
'Sculpture by the Sea'
by David McCracken, Australia
Impossible Sculpture
Floating Giant Tap
Note that the water flows down smoothly without splashing.
That's because a transparent tube takes the water to the tap
and it flows out through the outer side of the tube.
Giant Clothespin
Monte-Meubles, L’ultime Déménagement
Sand Sculpture
We're all familiar with sandcastles - but a sand sculpture that
defies gravity?
Basketball
A great display of knowledge of structural engineering and sculpting.
Floating Ball of Steel
Boy with Dolphin
Big Sculpture Balancing Act
Suspended in mid-air and supported only by a thin rope,
this sculpture is an awe inspiring, heart attack-inducing masterpiece.

| After spending a lot of time alone in the same room of the owner's house, a crow and a dog grew fond of each other. The crow is almost always on the dog's back, the dog even barks when people try to touch his pal. The owner built a custom harness for more comfortable rides.  After a devastating forest fire, fire rescuers ran out of crates for the animals saved from the blazes. This fawn and baby bobcat were placed together in the office. Hours later, firemen noticed they'd taken a liking to one another and cuddled for the duration they were kept together.  A duck and house cat were raised together by a family. Reportedly the duck hates water and hasn't figured out yet that it can fly.  A wild-life park in China adopted two tiger cubs, which were soon adopted by a worker's dog that happened to be in the pen frequently.  The Fernandez family adopted a tiger cub after it had lost its family. It has been raised with the family dog since infancy, and they are inseparable.  Humphrey the hippopotamus was a house pet that became too large and was moved to the Rhino & Lion Nature Reserve in South Africa, where he was safe but lonely. A Cameroon Pygmy Mountain Goat climbed the fence into Humphrey's enclosure and befriended him.  Sobe the iguana and Johann the cat were both rescued by a woman in Brooklyn, NY. Every day when the iguana is let out of her cage, she seeks out Johann for play time, along with a rabbit also kept as a pet.  Koko the gorilla is famous for having learned to communicate by sign-language. For her birthday one year, she made signs to her teacher that she wanted a kitten. Koko's teacher wasn't surprised, as Koko's two favorite books were about cats.They adopted a kitten from an abandoned litter and Koko showed it great care and gentleness.  A lioness abandoned by her pack decided to adopt a baby impala after killing its mother. Several times, she tried to leave the baby in the company of other impalas, but ended up having to take the baby back under her wing after the adult impalas were frightened away by her.  A giraffe and ostrich form an odd friendship at Busch Gardens in Florida.  Owls that hatched at a hawk conservatory were adopted by the park-keeper and became friends with his pet dog.  After a family took in this stray cat, she grew fond of their elderly dog. Realizing the dog was blind, the cat took on the responsibility of leading the dog to his water, food, shade, and toys. She would follow closely under his chin to guide him.  A stray cat wandered into this Asiatic bear's enclosure at the Berlin Zoo. It has been coming back frequently for 10 years to visit its friend.  This unusual pair have been seen together for over a year in Lake Van in Turkey. They were first spotted by a local fisherman who witnessed them sharing a fish and playing together.  At the Tiger institute in South Carolina, a female chimpanzee raised white tiger cubs after they were separated from their mother.  A photographer witnessed a wild polar bear coming upon tethered sled dogs in the wilderness of Canada's Hudson Bay. Instead of devouring the dogs, they played and cuddled. The polar bear returned every night that week.  Other examples of animal friendships:       [size=32]I hope you enjoyed these photos as much as I did.[/size] [size=32]It makes it difficult to figure out why humans and nations can't get along like this.[/size] [size=32]Happiness isn't where you find it. Happiness is where you create it.[/size] |

Can YOU spot the owl hiding in these trees? Bird is almost impossible to see (but you'll have a hoot trying to find him)

Beak-a-boo! The images were captured by safari guide Roan du Plessis at Beyond's Ngala Safari Lodge, a private game reserve in South Africa where he lives and works

- The African scops owl was snapped by a guide blending in to its habitat at a South African lodge. It was sitting as still as a statue when the photograph was taken - typical behaviour for the animal

A Mind Parasite Encounter in Dune
[link to www.alignment2012.com]
~snip
This represents a boiling down of an essential truth. Our individual struggle with mind parasites is always about a flow of energy. A banker quantifies and protects the energy units he has accumulated while attempting to have a flow of energy where he captures more units than he expends. This is what a parasite or a predator does. Therefore, to follow the suggestions of Gurdjieff and others we notice mechanical patterns where conditioning (cellular and social) causes us to drain ourselves of psychic and bodily resources that are not worth their return and we try to reverse this flow. Human energy is the sweetest, the most potent and rich energy available on this plane so there are arch-parasites, that are incredibly shrewd, that feed off this energy—in the Gurdjieffian paradigm this is called “being food for the moon.”
The chapter begins with a quotation that states the law of the minimum: “Growth is always limited by that necessity which is least available.” This banking law applies to any living system from a planet, a civilization, a government, a human psyche. To apply this to your own life, you can ask yourself “what necessity is least available that is limiting my growth?” Sometimes this could be an environmental factor: in a famine it might be food, sometime it seems like money or time which are often interdependent. It might be will or whatever means are necessary to keep oneself from a depotentiating addiction like eating inferior foods, smoking, unconscious sex, etc. The banker’s perspective is to see where energy is being conserved or stolen. As the Honored Matre says (on viewing her as a banker) “it...saves a lot of muddy and distressful circumlocutions.”
---
HM: “In essence, power such as ours is allowed to become the substance of survival for many people. Then, the threat of withdrawal is all that's required for us to rule. Would you like us to withdraw or favor from you, MZ?”
What *Banker* is handling your mental currency?
