Do any of those peices of fruit qualify to be little friends or pets?

One of those tomatoes kind of looks like Ronald Reagan.
 
Muezzin: That's amazing. If I were to try that, I'd end up in traction.
 
Walters is a legend on the parkour circuits. But yeah, its a fun way to keep fit... especially when the sun breaks out.

I had given up doing martial art for a year already and saw this documentary around 3 or 4yrs ago and got intno it from there...

I think all my hobbies are quite normal, so I thought I'd post other people's unusual hobbies. This one looks dead boring to me. But each to their own I guess.




If you are a taphophile, you have a keen interest in or passion for cemeteries. Thus, your hobby would include researching,
writing and reading epitaphs; making gravestone rubbings (like Indiana Jones does with that dead knight’s shield in Indiana
Jones and the Last Crusade); cemetery photography and other art; and, of course, reading up on cemetery history. What fun!

My hobby when I was in grade 5 and 6 in elementary school was "changing texts". I changed some words in article to make it turn into funny article. I did it to my school text books and also my friends texts books. But my friends and my teacher did not angry, even they laugh. My wife and my kids laughed too when they found one of my text book in elementary school.

But actually I got this idea from Dutch comic, Sjors&Sjimie, in episode when Sjors and Sjimie changed the colonel's letter.
 
I used to collect caps and hang them on my wall. I had an almost full wall but after a while I dropped that hobby and now i have a cupboard full of caps. First world problems :(​
 
And a Pakistani friend just want to know if machine gun is affordable :offended:

I could not watch "yamakasi" in theater, so I wait this French movie in my TV. Unfortunatelly, TV ran this movie in the midnight. So, when I just watched around fifteen minutes, my wife was angry "when will you go to the bed!" :D

Maybe "Yamakasi" is the first movie about parkour. And if I am not wrong, parkour is the "French art of escape" that popularized by immigrant in France. They jump from a building to other building, climb and down the wall.

Kinda... if you watch the Jump London videos on youtube (part one linked in my previous post) you can find out the real reason.

As for Damien Walters style of parkour... that guy is a legend. I'm just a leg end by comparison... but insha-Allah i'll get there... one day:hmm:

My unusual hobby is collect information to my memory. I read and read and read and also discuss with several different people and try to learn from them. Just today I surprised one my Christian coworker at my office about how much more I knew about they holiday (Easter) than average Christian (even I am muslim) by international and also by local news.

She didn´t even remember name Via Dolorosa.

:embarrass

Also I collect hijabs and cook books.

Cook books mean yummy meals.

:p

Hi Scimitar;

I have never heard of free running and parkour circuits, but it sure is an amazing way to break a leg or something.

When I was a young lad in my thirties, I rode a fixed wheel bike for a number of years. Its a bike with just one gear, and no freewheel so you have to peddle like mad going down hill; to hit 40mph on the bike meant I had to turn the peddles round at just over 200rpm.
I did a 1200k ride in France which meant I turned the peddles round about 230,000 times in 84 hours. We rode about 150 miles to the start, and another 150 home, meaning I turned the peddles round about 350, 000 times in a week.
When I was a slightly older lad in my forties I rode a penny farthing as you do, it is not difficult or hard falling off, it just hurts when you hit the road. Going over the handlebars is an experience not to be missed, it builds your character.

Is this count as unusual?

Eric
