Cycling Over Water

Check out this interesting clip of Japanese celebrities attempting to cycle over water using the 300-meters flimsy floating bridge. Of course some made it halfway through, some barely even made it even at the beginning ^^”

Last two folks in the clip managed to cycle over the water. Impressive! The second last guy who was the first to cycle over the 300m floating bridge however, dropped into the water after crossing the end point. LOL?

Living Dinosaur Shark Found in Japan

I remember watching Shark Movies when I was young – my Mother just love those monster-movies for some reason, and yes, shark is one of them! Finding out that there was a living dinosaur shark in Japan (like 3 years ago) is shocking and unbelievable.

This type of shark is very different from what we usually see. It has six gills and the body is like an eel, normally living under 600-1,000 meters deep in ocean. They have very long history of 50 million years, that’s why they are also called …
