Amazing reflections on how good humans are at throwing. The drum stick analogy should still you into silence. #totrblog  

High Throw

New: @whatifnumbers, a Twitter feed of numbers I find while answering questions. Prev · High Throw. How high can a human throw something? —Irish Dave on the Isle of Man. Humans are good at throwing things. In fact, we’re great at it; no other animal can throw stuff like we can.

Wow. That's something I didn't expect to see in DB. Rather beautiful, apart from the image that moves. #totrblog

Not something you're likely to see in IFC, a Red-necked Keelback catches a frog on Lantau. Not sure what either of them were doing on top of a mountain. According to the internet, the snake is rare for being both poisonous and venomous. Didn't really get to know the frog. 

Very pleased with this, but I'm not sure it is on the right vehicle.

Triple 10 (as 1010 is 10 in binary). Or he was "off to work I go" on a bank holiday? #totrblog   #hkplates  

Top class. Literally. #hkplates #totrblog

My kind of commute. Thanks rain shower. The Kong is on sparkly diamond form this evening. #totrblog

Good day for the grey market to the mainland. That’s a lot of wheely luggage (and people) under Canal Street flyover. The couple of cases I saw open were stuffed full of perfume / goo. There were a similar number of people behind me as well. #totrblog

Infinitely preferable to the gym. First sunny day for a swim instead. #totrblog #hkproblems

Excellent factoid. It has snowed in Hong Kong. Two of the four recorded days were at the top of HK's highest mountain (957m), so less surprising, but the east side of HK island (Cape Collinson) does surprise me. #totrblog
