I’d love to meet one of those few. A skateboarder eating that much krill has to be such an amazing spectacle

They do there belly flops, where they rise from the water and splash on it. I suppose that is pretty close, but I have done neither.

Pretty cool, but I think I’d rather watch a teenager in baggypants break the laws of physics entirely by consuming multiple times his body mass

What that fuck? I was just having a piss and I fucking read your comment and - it didn’t, but - what if my snort of laughter when I did had caused my fucking urine stream to shoot back and to the left and fucking soaked my spare toilet rolls? Did you fucking think about that when ou posted? FFS.

A shark can swim faster than me, but I can outrun a shark. So in a triathlon it comes down to the bicycle part.

Yeah but monkeys have hands on their feet, so they can pull on the pedal’s upstroke as well as push on the downstroke ☝️

Tri bikes usually have clip-in pedals so humans can do this too.

Just because you’ve never seen a whale do a kickflip doesn’t mean they can’t.

The inventor of the trick was human, so the name stuck.

One needs legs, I’d say, so a spider can do 4 kickflips at once

It only says most can’t - but we’ll never be able to prove that such a whale does not exist at all.
