Have you ever dreamt of flying on a super cool hoverboard? The future of water sports is here with these fantastic flying surfboards!
Technology, creativity, and passion combined to create a new super electric hydro surfboard that lets you hover over the water at high speeds. See them in action with this cool video by High Eye Tech.
“A hydrofoil (or foil) board is a water board with a set of wings underneath it. Like an airplane, those wings lift the board off the water when a little speed is added. However, instead of flying on air, the hydrofoil flies on the water. The power of the evil electric hydrofoil surfboard is controlled by a wireless hand controller and has a top speed of 22 knots (25 mph), though it’s a pretty exciting ride at that speed”.

The Far Side is a single-panel comic created by Gary Larson and syndicated by Universal Press Syndicate, which ran from January 1, 1980, to January 1, 1995, when Larson retired as a cartoonist
Its surrealistic humor is often based on uncomfortable social situations, improbable events, an anthropomorphic view of the world, logical fallacies, impending bizarre disasters, (often twisted) references to proverbs or the search for meaning in life. Larson’s frequent use of animals and nature in the comic is popularly attributed to his background in biology. Reruns are still printed in many newspapers.
The Far Side was ultimately carried by more than 1,900 daily newspapers, translated into 17 languages, and collected into calendars, greeting cards, and 23 compilation books. SOURCE WIKIPEDIA

This cool visual chart by Maritime Info highlights bizarre deep-sea creatures that will make you feel very lucky to live on land!
Typical divers can only go 130 feet under the sea safely. However, as you see in the infographic, 1000s of feet below the surface are where the strangest of sea creatures survive. . The deep sea hides so many creatures that it’s hard to keep track of all of them.
As you go further into the deep sea, it seems that things become stranger. For instance, the goblin shark can catapult forward to catch prey thanks to its elastic jaw ligaments. However, giant isopods can survive years without food.

Bob Ross, the painter, and television personality was an endearing, soothing, and extremely prolific artist who purportedly completed 30,000 paintings during his lifetime. What made this especially likable and talented painter truly different is that he truly believed that all of us could also be artists.
Ross’s gentle voice and warm demeanor captured the hearts of humans of all ages and artists of all levels worldwide. Bob spent 20 years in the United States Air Force and retired with the rank of master sergeant before transitioning into the happy painter we know today. He is quoted as saying “after yelling so much in the Air Force; he never wanted to yell at anyone again.”
As Robert Frost famously said “Way leads unto Way” and the Alaskan Mountains where he was stationed became iconic features in his paintings. While stationed there Ross indulged his creative side by painting his landscapes onto golden pans, which he sold for $25 each. Today, they can fetch as much as $7500 on eBay.
One of Bob Ross’s biggest influences was a German painter named Bill Alexander who hosted an art instruction show on PBS “The Magic of Oil Painting. He shared his “wet-on-wet” oil painting technique. Ross ended up studying under Alexander, who became his mentor in the early 1980s, and as Alexander was preparing to retire, he asked Ross to take over teaching his painting classes. Ross agreed and set out to tour the country on his own in a motor home, traveling and teaching people.
One of his students Annette Kowalski recognized his gentle and powerful positivity while taking a five-day instructional course with Ross in 1982. She became Ross’s manager, helping him broker the deal for The Joy of Painting television show with PBS. Despite its incredible popularity Bob Ross did the series for free, while his income came from Bob Ross Inc. which sold art supplies and how-to videotapes, taught classes, and even had a troupe of traveling art instructors who roamed the world teaching painting.
It’s been nearly 25 years since the sincere, gentle and very talented Bob Ross passed. His encouraging artistic mentor style continues to spread smiles and inspiration to artists of all ages. Below is just a few of some of his many magical quotes and a classic clip from his show. SOURCES MENTAL FLOSS, WIKIPEDIA & BIOGRAPHY
