Buddhist monks from the Namgyal Monastery in Ithaca, New York will construct a five-and-a-half foot Medicine Buddha sand mandala in the Ackland’s Yager Gallery of Asian Art. On that day, the monks will dismantle the mandala and deposit the sand in a body of water. This process symbolizes the transience of life and the ideal of non-attachment to the material world.
This was unexpected, but is just waiting for a commercial application. You have to watch the video to believe it, but this restaurant in Japan has a goldfish tank…in the deep fryer.
Because oil floats on water, despite the massive heat (163 degrees Celsius) the goldfish simply stay away from the surface and all is well. They eat the crumbs of croquettes and other fried foods that fall to the bottom, and can live in there for 5-10 years** as they happily clean away, ignorant to the fact that certain death awaits any potential escapees.
People have accidents. That’s not what this post is about. People also do stupid, reckless things. But we’re not focusing on that now either.
This is about people that obviously lack the requisite skills to operate a motor vehicle - who were also unfortunate enough to have the evidence caught on film.
Americans are not stupid, despite of what is shown in the video. A few in the huddle, can’t give a bad name to everyone, but regardless it’s pretty funny, so check it out.
