This Guy's Archery Skills Are Borderline Superhuman
After watching this video, I can only assume that archer Lars Andersen is some kind of robot. I can’t say I’ve ever seen someone use a bow with such proficiency, accuracy or skill.

Video: Watching this foam — made of high-density polyurethane — raise heavy concrete slabs so easily seems like magic to me.

Uber drivers attempting to follow the law are getting screwed by Uber in California.
