Update: I suspected that it might be a very good photoshop, but I was wrong. It’s a 65 year-old beech tree in Bulgaria. Via UK Daily Mail 1 June 2016:
Deyan Kossev, 49, spotted the unusual tree when he was hiking through the forest, saying “nobody knows” why the trunk and branches have formed this way.
“I was walking through the mountains when suddenly I spotted him. I was speechless and stopped in my tracks. It was surreal, it looks exactly like a man does. It has the legs, arms, body and head of a man and they are all in proportion too.”
I generally avoid posting cat videos, but this one made me smile. [Found here via here.]
“At a time when the Vietnam War was at its height, one man, John “Chickie” Donohue, snuck back into the war zone to find his 3 closest friends and buy them a beer.”
This guy is probably the only good excuse to get burned up at Coachella. Here’s Gary Clark Jr. cranking some retro blues/rock awesomeness on 16 April 2016.
Have a great weekend folks, see you back here tomorrow for stuff.
