The pocket is then filled with water.
The corners are then grouped together and twisted until the whole assembly resembles a sphere. This creates a makeshift lens.

Just like people, plants fall over when they begin to die from thirst but unlike people, plants can’t verbally communicate when they need watering. That’s where the Roly-Poly Pot comes in.

A six years boy skates UNDER cars
The amazing six-year-old skims inches from the ground as he disappears under a 4x4 — in a craze sweeping India called “limbo skating”.
Aniket, who started skating aged 18 months in Belgaum, set an unofficial world record by rolling under 57 cars in 45 seconds. And now he wants to skate under 100 cars.
He said: “It took three months to get my body in the right position. The hardest thing now is to go fast enough before I bend down.”
house of cards:a surprising gravity-defying hobby
The 33-year-old American builds huge structures out of playing cards and his latest 25ft skyscraper has broken all records. The professional 'cardstacker' has created a variety of breathtaking sculptures over the years including models of cathedrals, skyscrapers and stadiums, without using anything to stick them together.
