Picture of the day [March 10]

[Mrs_Mia_Wallace]

Hey everybody,

With a controlled explosion the performance artist Cosmic Colt made a water melon burst right above his head (which was protected with a helmet for safety). The show, a sell-out hit at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, is playing in Sydney for 10 nights and features explosions, juggling, a rock band, and abundant pyrotechnics.

When I first saw that, I thought his head exploded.

I think that was the intention of the way the pic was taken idiot, I thought the same and thought "holy #%^$#@!, why do they show that on a news page???" Then I read the subtitles :blah:

I saw something on TV once, where it showed someone's head blow up, and confetti went everywhere...Camera magic, but I still found it amusing...

That picture sorta reminds me of it, and because of my tiredness, it's like the funniest thing ever this whole day... :blah:

*sigh* :rolleyes:
