    For shredding the lettuce, I guess, this knife seen while on a shopping spree during the LEN 2008 European Short Course Championships in Rijeka, Croatia. No, I didn’t buy it.

    A step out of your own comfort zone is just good for you! Too often fear limits your wishes in life and if you manage to face your fears – a lot of limitations in life will be gone – forever!

    Live and explore life while you can!

    Attitude means everything!

    Very WTF, but apparently a guy decided to swim with the dolphins at a show in Russia, and then some unbehaved security guards went to ‘talk’ with him, resulting in a mass fight and more swimming with the dolphins. See lolRussia
