That guy is lovely. I was hoping they were going to give him all the money. Also I think it's hilarious that they were giving away cigarettes away as prizes.

He doesn't smoke cigarettes, so instead they gave him a can of Prince Albert pipe tobacco.

I finally know what "Prince Albert in a can" is!

When he flips it he pulls his right hand back to let the bat clear. That looks like the hardest part to it.

If you want to learn how to do it then start by holding it steady in front of you and then spinning it once and catching it. Once you've got that down try spinning it twice before catching it, then three or four times. Once you've got that down then try spinning it in the middle of a swing.

Another badass building that's not far from that city hall: The Bavarian State Chancellery building, capitol of the state of Bavaria.

The central portion is original. Both of the original wings were destroyed by Allied bombers during WWII. When they rebuilt it after the war, they gave each wing a modern glass facade--so you can see your politicians at work. Their step towards government transparency taken pretty literally.

I dunno...I feel like that building's going to mumble "I didn't ask for this." in German any minute.

I think that might be olympic weightlifter and strongman Mikhail Koklyaev.

He is genuinely one of the strongest people on the planet. This video is from an exhibition he did and includes;
596lb Jerk press (no wonder he can lift two people).
A crazy 640lb No Hands Squat
881lb x 3 Deadlift
419lb Snatch

He's always smiling. Regardless of the fact that he can lift my house over his head, he looks like a genuinely nice guy to hang out with.

Dude I just got back on a road trip from the pacific northwest and my buddies dad hooked it up with his fishing cabin in Dunsmuir. I didnt fish myself but this was literally the back yard view. Shasta area rules and as a bay area native I need to get up there more.

I didnt get a chance to check out Castle Crag though. Enough reason to go back next time.

That is one ugly loving fish. A lot of chemical runoff into the rivers there or something?

Detective Thompson: Nov 9, 2007; Sammy Davis Jr. Jr. is also in repose.

It's a male Chinook salmon. Male salmon actually change color and shape and get that characteristic humped look when it's time to spawn (which is what that one was up to). It's also been dead for a little while (what with the missing eye and onset of decomposition), which makes it look a little nastier than usual. That one was supposed to weigh 80lbs from what I remember, and Chinooks can get up to 130lbs.

For reference, this is what they normally look like when they aren't all jacked up on mating.

By the time Pacific salmon make it back upstream to spawn they're on the verge of death and basically already decomposing. That's a big one but the ugliness is normal.

Compression-only CPR is a pretty standard medical procedure but I guess if the guy is also standing on your dick that's just further motivation to wake up and start moving.
