David Blaine’s magic is so good, it’s a little unsettling. He’s been frozen in a block of ice, buried alive, and has somehow managed to escape from impossible situations, all without explanation. Recently, Blaine stopped by “The Tonight Show” to share some magic tricks with Jimmy Fallon and The Roots. At first, it appears that he’s going to stick to simple card tricks, but the audience is in for a huge (and kind of gross) surprise. With every trick, things get a little bit crazier. Just when you think the performance is coming to an end, Blaine pulls off an illusion that no one saw coming.

Hopefully, he won’t make “aquarium stomach” part of his normal routine. Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/david-blaine/
When it comes to the holiday season, everyone has their own beliefs. Sharing them with others is one thing, but what this crazy pastor just did in Amarillo, Texas, totally crossed the line. As kids wait in line to meet Santa Claus at a local mall, this piece of trash extraordinaire tells the camera that he’s going to crush their dreams by informing them that Old Saint Nick isn’t real. I could hardly believe that he’d actually go through with it, but seconds later, he’s shouting like a mad man. At first, parents try to ignore him, but it eventually becomes too much to bear. All things considered, he’s lucky this didn’t end with a swift punch to the face. Like the angry dads who confront him, my blood is boiling! We’d like to take this moment to remind the pastor that Saint Nicholas was indeed a real man who was canonized. Whether or not he performed miracles is a matter of personal opinion, but even the most cynical historians agree that he was generous man who inspired the modern-day version of Santa Claus.

People getting high isn’t exactly new. In fact, it’s nearly as old as time. That being said, if you thought contemporary drugs were bizarre, you’ll be pretty stunned when you see the crazy nonsense people used to do back in the day for a little lift. 1. U.S. soldiers used their guns to smoke weed. During the Vietnam War, soldiers often made makeshift bongs out of their guns. They also tried to get high on C-4, but they stopped when too many soldiers got sick. 2. Using laughing gas for anything but surgery. Wikipedia When laughing gas was first invented, it was seen as a gag and was used at house parties to get people laughing and having a good time 70 years before it was ever used in medicine. 3. Cannibalism. Yes, cannibalism. Wikipedia Throughout history, people have gotten spiritual highs on human flesh. Gross, right? From Mayans to Romans, plenty of people have chowed down on their brethren. Leonardo da Vinci was even on board! 4. Ladies who added cocaine to their tampons were high as kites. Wikipedia Because medicine has always been a patriarchal mess, doctors paid little to no mind to women’s ailments. To remedy that pesky period pain, they recommended that women throw some cocaine on their tampons before inserting them. Great idea. 5. Eating mold and riding brooms. British Museum Housewives during the Middle Ages got high by brewing ergot, which is a form of mold that grows on rye. In fact, the high they got from it was so strong that they felt like they were flying. That’s why we associate images of women flying on brooms with witchcraft! (via Cracked) Say no to drugs, friends. Getting high isn’t worth it…especially when it calls for eating human flesh. Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/high-on-history/
