That's Austrian adventurer Michael "Mich" Kemeter slacklining across the gorgeous Green Lake in Austria.
It took Kemeter 35 attempts in 20 days back in September 2013 to achieve the feat - and once he did, he set a new world record (beating his old one) of slacklining a distance of 250 meters.
You can see Kemeter's attempts as well as beautiful shots of Lake Green in the video clip above and read all about it over at Redbull.
Meet Lil' Drac.
The orphaned short-tailed fruit bat was abandoned by his stressed-out mother (not an uncommon behavior, apparently) and was rescued and hand-raised by volunteers from Bat World Sanctuary.
Thanks to bad portrayal in movies, we are so used to thinking of bats as evil creatures, but according to Bat World's website, that's a bad rap:
Bats are clean, gentle and intelligent, they are vital to the ecosystem, and they enhance our lives in many ways. Fruit and nectar bats bring us approximately 450 commercial products and over 80 different medicines through seed dispersal and pollination. Up to 98% of all rainforest regrowth comes from seeds that have been spread by fruit bats. Insect-eating bats are literal vacuum cleaners of the night skies, eating millions upon millions of harmful bugs. They protect us by eating insect-pests that destroy crops as well as insects that cause human disease.
Watch the cute little baby bat rock his body while hanging upside down to comfort himself after he's been fed (with milk soaked onto a tiny foam tip).
How cold has it been in the midwest and northeastern United States? So cold that even this snowman is hitchhiking to Florida! (Does anyone know the story behind this photo?)
Update 2/18/14: The snowman is from Andover, New Hampshire - Thanks Jennifer!

How to explain Prince Hulbertus von Hohenlohe.
Let's see. Prince Hubertus, also known by his nickname Royal Disaster, is an actual prince. He's descended from the reigning dynasty of a former principality in what is now Germany. He was born in Mexico as a son to Prince Alfonso Hohenlohe and Princess Ira Fürstenberg. So he's a Mexican citizen and a German prince, all in one.

Oh, and he's also the lone member of Mexico's Alpine Skiing Team in the Sochi Winter Olympics. And even better: he's got a one-of-a-kind Mariachi-themed suit:

Whatever happens at the sporting event, we know that he's already won gold medal with that suit!

All I could find out about the wonderful flower lungs above is that it was used as an undated advertisement for a wellness club. Does anyone know the artist?
In the meanwhile, enjoy the wonderful imagery brought up by the bouganvillea lungs!
How do you climb a mountain of stacked railway ties? This 1937 photograph by Fox for the Daily Herald was taken in the Great Western Railway sleeper creosoting works in Hayes, Middlesex, England ("railway sleeper" is what railroad ties are called in the rest of the world; creosote is a chemical used to preserve the wood).
As explained by the Daily Herald Archive from the National Media Museum, the steps are created from the individual ties themselves so workers can reach the top without using ladders.

You're driving along looking for parking when you see the perfect spot. But you're a few lanes too far away and the jerks driving alongside you won't let you pull over.
Do you:
a) Say goodbye to that perfect parking spot and drive away
b) Stop the car mid-traffic, put on the blinkers and pray no one grab the parking spot while you wait till it's safe to pull over
or
c) Park like a ninja, just like this viral video clip shows?
According to this YouTube clip, a Moscow driver chose option C. The whole thing was captured by a dashboard cam.

Christopher Rivera Amaro entered the ring for one last time and even in death, the boxer looked formidable.
After his death, his family wanted to show Amaro as a boxer, so Elsie Rodriguez of Marin Funeral Home in San Juan, Puerto Rico, posed him in a makeshift boxing ring. As reported by MSN, Amaro was posed standing up wearing a yellow training hoodie and sunglasses, with hands in boxing gloves.

You care about the environment, you say. You compost your organic wastes and recycle the rest. But what about your pee? Do you peecycle? No? What kind of a treehugger are you?
Everybody pees. In fact, Americans produce about 30 billion gallons of urine every year. That, according to Kim Nace of Rich Earth Institute, represents a valuable resource that most of us just flush away. Instead, Nace proposed that we recycle our urine and use it as fertilizer as it is a "local, accessible, free, sanitary source of nitrogen and phosphorus."
In other words, if you need a natural fertilizer, urine luck!
But how good is urine as fertilizer anyways? Last year, the Institute carried out an experiment to test it.

As reported by National Geographic, that thanks to sixty enthusiastic community members, the Institute collected 600 gallons of urine to fertilize a field of hay in a Brattleboro, Vermont, farm. A 50/50 mix of urine and water was applied to a test strip of land. The result was impressive:

Rich Earth Institute co-founder and Research Director Abe Noe-Hays said in an interview in the Bennington Banner, "the amount of nutrients in a year's worth of urine from one person is almost all the fertilizer needed to grow food for that person in that span."
