Bursting Through The Hurdles, No Matter What
In a 110 meters hurdles event at the Chinese University Games a hurdler took a whole new approach to the race.
Straight from the start he failed to clear the first hurdle and clipped the top of it.

Do you remember a time when you felt absolutely helpless?

Did You Have a Blankie?
Have you ever “attached” yourself to something? Like – really attached?
Some babies attach themselves to their pacifiers for comfort.

You’re Full of Yourself!
