245 people bungee jump off Brazil bridge together.

Image
RIO DE JANEIRO: A group of 245 thrill-seekers tied to ropes jumped from a 30m tall bridge - all together - in a world-record attempt for "rope jumping" in Brazil. The death-defying event took place on Sunday (Oct 22) in Hortolandia, located about one hour from Sao Paulo. In dramatic footage, the participants are seen leaping from the bridge, each wearing white helmets, while tied together with a rope. The jumpers fell almost simultaneously and swung back and forth until coming to standstill before with some descending to the water below and other climbing up to the bridge. Stunt organizer, Alan Fereira, said a total of 400 people were involved in the project. Fereira examined the ropes before the jump, as the feat required the assembly of complicated harnesses and bolts used for professional mounteneering. According to organisers, a total of 20km of rope were used plus 1,000 harnesses. Guinness World Records have not yet issued an official statement confir...

This Student Made A Shocking And NSFW Art Piece That Depicts The Aftermath Of Sexual Assault

Image
A student’s NSFW art project that depicts the aftermath of sexual assault went viral this week after she shared her creation on social media. Nineteen-year-old Emma Krenzer created the project for an art class at Nebraska Wesleyan University. “I made this project largely for myself to actually visualize the lasting impact that touch can have on an individual,”  Krenzer took a photo of a friend, printed out a life-size copy of it, and then finger painted. The artist said that she was “depicting touches from different people in [her] life.” “I thought about what was true for myself, and also, what I perceived to be commonly true for people in general, when I mapped out these touches,” she said. Krenzer finished the project the night she returned from the Women’s March in DC. On Twitter, the completed work resonated with an overwhelming amount of people.

Fortunately for future single working women TV characters like Elaine Benes and Liz Lemon, our Mare had spunk! 1. A DICK VAN DYKE SHOW (NO, NOT  THAT  ONE) HELPED TO LAUNCH MARY’S SOLO SITCOM CAREER. When  The Dick Van Dyke Show  ended in 1966, Mary Tyler Moore was poised to make the leap into films. She had inked a deal with Universal Pictures and starred in three features in rapid succession, only one of which ( Thoroughly Modern Millie , with Juli...
