If the girl who can identify Star Wars LEGO minifigs using only her mouth wasn’t enough to make your brain explode, congratulations, you’re still here with us to check out this video of some girl balancing 15 books on her head… while reciting Pi to the 100th digit… and solving a Rubik’s Cube, all in, wait for it… 42 seconds.

Tanita is going to start selling this weight measurer that not only tells you how overweight you are, but also your body fat content, muscle ratio and your baseline metabolic rate (in terms of calories per day). If you are still not convinced, you can... Continue reading
