Fantastic Photos

Here are some of the results that turned up as I searched the web for funny/amazing pictures from around the world:

Pretty sure this would qualify for the HOV lane:
 

I'll never complain about the #23 route on CyRide being crowded on cold winter mornings again:

 Keeping with the "overloaded vehicles" theme:

Maybe you've seen this... this dude draws sweet art with chalk on sidewalks in cities:


I thought you had to be in great shape to be a boxer?


Those tinted windows can make driving hazardous:

Is this what the actor who played Mr. Tumnus in The Chronicles of Narnia wore?

Disney World, Mini Golf, Jousting and Parkour

Sorry it's been over a month since I've posted. I've been crazy busy over the holidays, but I'm looking forward to getting back on track with my blogging with the rest of this month. Here goes:

So this weekend I was chilling in Florida. Yep, I got to go to Florida. My parents invited Sam and I for a long weekend (Friday-Monday) in the Sunshine State. We stayed in a condo, continued our family mini-golfing tradition (I won!), got to go to Disney World and experienced this sweet medieval kingdom dinner and jousting reenactment arena thing (we even got to eat our food without silverware). It was an amazing blessing to spend time with my wife and family and to get out of this blustery mess and into some 70 degree sunshine. But that's enough making you jealous.

I was proud to tell her that one of our ISU friends (Tim Odell) is the president of the Parkour Club at Iowa State. Most of you have probably seen videos like this, but, just in case you haven't, hopefully this blows your mind and makes your day:
