Funny Videos

Rarely do I go to Youtube, but Mr.Ward of the Garden Gate School showed my class two videos that were so appealing to me that I couldn't resist showing them to my family. Both are by Fatboy Slim. Push the Tempo is more of comedy, and Right Here Right Now(the second one) is how evolution took place. Enjoy!


One on George W Bush.

Chhatrapatti Shivaji Terminus

These are the pictures of Mumbai CST. The infrastructure was amazing and the English Architecture was extraordinarily creative and beautiful Enjoy the pictures! (P.S. This was one of the places where the 26/11 terrorists attacked.)

Hyper Mobility

Better known as double-joints. And please, don't be fooled by the name.
Double jointed people don't have two elbows or knees; it is just that their bones aren't connected as strongly with the joints as normal people. There is a test to see if you are double-jointed:

• Placing flat hands on the floor with straight legs
• Left knee bending backward
• Right knee bending backward
• Left elbow bending backward
• Right elbow bending backward
• Left thumb touching the forearm
• Right thumb touching the forearm
• Left little finger bending backward past 90 degrees
• Right little finger bending backward past 90 degrees

Each condition is one point. You must score at least 4 points on this test to be officially recognized as double-jointed.  I, myself, score 5 points: two for each knee bending backward, two or each elbow bending backward, and one or "Left thumb touching the forearm." If you are hypermobile, your joints click at will(my elbows and big toe do).
To many, the idea of extra flexibility seems good; but hypermobile people often suffer from arthritis at an early age. Dislocation of joints can occur with relatively weak contact, because the ligaments are not as stable as normal people. So if you're not hypermobile, don't fret. If you are, try to avoid these problems, although many people(like me) don't have any side-effects. Happy bending, clicking, and stretching!
