Via Tudou: "Watch as a Henan man climbs up a ladder of large blades with nary a grimace or a wince. Rather unbelievably, his feet remain largely intact despite the razor sharp knives, he comes away with only the slightest of indentations! The 25-year old performer was raised in Henan, the hometown of China’s martial arts, and has been working on the skill for years and years. Who knew that it was possible to stay so calm and collected!"

A special talent show of sorts was held at Beijing's Longtan Temple over the weekend and uhh, it looks like China does have talent. All we'll say is do not try any of this at home. more ›

For the next two months, ethnic Uyghur Adili Wuxor, nicknamed "Prince of the Tightrope", will be perched on a tightrope sixty metres high over Beijing's 'Bird's Nest' stadium for a Guinness record-breaking feat. Every day, he plans to walk five hours and approximately 20 kilometres back and forth on the 120 metre long wire, before retiring to his 9 square metre solar-powered cabin suspended by a crane above the stadium floor. Adili comes from a family that has practised dawaz, a traditional Uyghur sport, for over seven generations.

Congratulations to Matt Mayer who yesterday became (we believe) the first person to visit every station on the Shanghai Metro system in one day. more ›

That's what Matt Mayer, the guy behind the ExploreShanghai metro map is trying to do right now. He laid out his plan, and the rules, here, a blog post that finished with: "147 stations, eight lines, one manic Monday. Wish me luck!" You can follow Matt's progress live on Twitter. His last message: "50 shanghai metro stations completed in 3h 7m 33s. Station 50 is west nanjing road. Shame i dont have time to visit marks and spencers :)" You can get in touch with Matt throughout the day. We're sure he'd love to here from you — it's going to be a long, boring Monday. more ›

Wong Kar-wai is celebrating the opening of his shit movie My Blueberry Nights in the US this Friday by selling some merchandise — most notably, $95 t-shirts, $50 posters, and $25 postcards. And if you want to thank him for ripping you off in person, you'll get your chance in New York at a fashion boutique store called Opening Ceremony, where Wong is going to be on Wednesday afternoon. We hope that someone tells him that the US is facing a recession and that the real incomes are not increasing for the average American. $25 for a postcard? You can get four lattes in Manhattan for that price! Sheesh! more ›
