This Couple Built The Most Incredible Home…And It’s Floating
At some point, we’ve all had that fantasy of abandoning society and living off the grid. I’ve always dreamed of having my own personal island, but I’ve never entertained the idea that it could actually be done. I couldn’t be more wrong, though. Not only is it possible, but there are two people who are living their best lives on one right now. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DCBP_ATF’); }); Artists Wayne Adams and Catherine King were tired of city life, so in the 1990s, they decided to go back into nature. They began building their own sustainable home off the coast of Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. And after 24 years of hard work and dedication, they have an incredible floating home that’s aptly called Freedom Cove. Although they’re not totally off the grid, their lifestyle is different than what we’re used to. In this picture, it looks like they live on the side of a mountain, which would already be enviable. Facebook / Catherine King googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DCBM_BTF’); }); But here you can see that their home is floating. Facebook / Catherine King They even have their own greenhouses and gardens to grow food. Facebook / Catherine King googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DCI1_BTF’); }); And needless to say, they have a gorgeous view. Facebook / Catherine King Would you build something like this if you had the chance? (via MindBodyGreen) I have never seen a home as amazing as this one. I wonder if they would consider letting me stay there on vacation. I could even bring one of these. Read more: http://www.viralnova.com/floating-island-home/

Watch 4,000 Strangers Drench Each Other With Water Guns
Improv Everywhere’s MP3 experiment is a public participatory event that’s a mix of scavenger hunt and flash mob. Everyone downloads an original MP3, then meets at a specific location and acts casual until it’s time to push play — followed by 45 minutes of syncronized, hilarious antics that leave unsuspecting visitors simultaneously confused and entertained. This year, there were 4,000 participants, 300 of whom didn’t even make it to the meeting place — Governor’s Island in New York City — because too many people were trying to get there. Instead, they followed instructions in Battery Park. Watch what happens when two armies of thousands go head-to-head in the most epic water gun fight. Instagram Coverage of the MP3 Experiment 1. Diehard Participants People stuck in long lines didn’t let location keep them from participating — many followed instructions from the ferry. Image courtesy of VivereNewYork 2.

Moonwalking Man Thrills Crowd With Moves
Commenters say this is “the super moonwalk” and “moon running.” The fast moving, backwards moonwalker in this clip is Eric Nash, according to his Twitter account. He goes by the handle @Onelovecandyman on Twitter and YouTube. He posted the video on July 5 after doing this move somewhere outside after what appears to be a rain shower. So far the video has more than 630,000 views. Nash’s Twitter account says he’s based in Santa Monica, Calif. and is a performer in the Los Angeles-based group Street Performers United. The Internet seems to love Michael Jackson’s legendary dance move. In 2010, this video of the “Walmart moonwalker” went viral. Shortly after Jackson’s death in 2009, this site called “Eternal Moonwalk” asked viewers to share videos of themselves moonwalking. Is that the longest Moonwalk you’ve seen? Tell us in the comments.
