I know there's a lot of technique in arm wrestling, and a lot of very specific training, but I'm still surprised quite how easy the arm wrestler makes this look. The mountain is very big and very strong, even if he's not specifically trained for this event!

I think he's probably including all the labour in that cost too. I can imagine how that could very easily come to $1500.

However, we don't work like that in the real world and he's made easily enough for more than one sandwich. The garden has grown a huge amount more than that, and for very little extra time he could have got a lot more of pretty much everything.

Aside from the money, I think this would be a very interesting project to do with my kids some day. They're both less than two years old at the moment, but I could see this being a very worthwhile thing to do with them in six or seven years or so. Everyone should understand the food they eat.

She isn't exactly as smooth with it though. The brit at least manages to keep his flow going as if he was just saying birmingham or some other simple name!

I'm amazed snopes is still saying undetermined. These look absolutely nothing like ants. They don't move like ants, they don't look like ants. It's CG, that's all. It would be easy to replicate this if it was true.

I did wonder where the prostitute guy was going with his call...

People are weird.

It's probably what it was, and they were huffing it to get high. They knew it was there, that's why they were in the car with the windows closed, that was the whole point...

Hmmmm. I buy some of that, but not all of it. Or rather it's true in some cases but not all. Some art, like the two lovers/clocks has meaning beyond it's own form and that's important to appreciate it. But there are certainly some abstract works out there that are just too lost in art.

I'm on the edge of the art world as an illustrator and photographer and completely get the 'go do it' angle though. Just saying 'I could do that' is missing the point entirely. Anyone who looks at a simple bit of art with a high value and thinks it must be simple to just paint a few squares and put a thousand pound price on it can't honestly believe it, otherwise we'd be up to our eyeballs in shitty paintings with huge price tags.

If a bit of artwork needs an artist's name to be worth something then consider what it took for the artist to get to that place. They didn't just wake up one morning a famous artist. The name gives context and can be important. Not every time, some 'artists' are just way too into their circlejerks and mutual bigging up that the only skill an artist might need is to be just weird enough and in the right place at the right time to be one of the 'in crowd', but to be fair this isn't the case with the vast majority of abstract art.

I love potato salad!!

The harsh reality is that this is TV, and you only have the word of Penn and Teller that it's all honest and as it seems. Penn and Teller are famous for making people believe things that aren't true...

Absolutely beautifully done. Poignant message and fantastic animation. Really like this

Whale oil beef hooked.

It's fucking tragic. The family got a $16,500,000 payout from the station, but I'm sure they'd much rather just have their mum back.

"Those people that are drinking all that water can get sick and possibly die from water intoxication," Brooks said, to which disc jockeys replied they "were aware of that" and that contestants had signed a release "so we're not responsible."

The organisers openly said that they knew it could kill the contestants but they don't care because they signed wavers so it's their fault if they die!

You're making an assumption about the show and about Penn's reaction ;0)

That would require men's and women's sexuality to work the same way, and they don't. Sex sells to men but it doesn't to women. Not to the same extent.
