Playing the piano.....backwards!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEpkH_viH7Aendofvid [starttext] YouTuber EvanTheBold: This is me playing the piano backwards. Yes, I know this is splattered with wrong notes and edits, it's more meant to showcase the trick rather than exhibit musical talent. I can't reach the pedals with my legs backwards, so that kind of ruins the song a bit. Trust me, I'm much better when I'm actually facing the keys. If you're wondering how I actually go about doing this, I have a genetic ligament-loosening disorder called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (Hypermobility Type). I have loose ligaments and hypermobile joints, which allows me to rotrate my shoulders out of socket and play the piano backwards like this. Enjoy.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAXu4ODpqmkendofvid [starttext]Petra (from πέτρα "petra", rock in Greek; Arabic: البتراء, Al-Butrā) is an archaeological site in Jordan, lying in a basin among the mountains which form the eastern flank of Arabah (Wadi Araba), the large valley running from the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Aqaba. It is famous for having many stone structures carved into the rock. The long-hidden site was revealed to the Western world by the Swiss explorer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt in 1812. It was famously described as "a rose-red city half as old as time" in a Newdigate prize-winning sonnet by John William Burgon. Burgon had not actually visited Petra, which remained accessible only to Europeans accompanied by local guides with armed escorts, until after World War I.

The Catacombs of Paris!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bElIDgAFaiMendofvid [starttext]Breathtaking video of the underground Catacombs of Paris. filmed in 1998, by Brian Keeley.

Beim grossen Brand von Rom im Jahre 64 nach Christus wurde auch diese Gegend komplett verwuestet. Auf den Resten der zerstoerten Gebaeude, der ersten Schicht, entstand ein grosszuegiges Privathaus, das spaeter in eine Kirche umgebaut wurde. 1084 pluenderten die Normannen Rom und zerstoerten dabei auch dieses erste Gotteshaus. Auf seinen Fundamenten, der zweiten Schicht, liess der amtierende Papst eine neue Kirche errichten. Sie wurde etwas kleiner als der alte Bau. Diese zweite Kirche besuchen wir heute. Sie ist sehenswert.
Betrachten wir die drei Schichten. Ganz oben das jetzige Gebaeude. In der Schicht darunter die Ueberreste der ersten Kirche. Im jetzigen Gotteshaus sind die Boegen der ersten Kirche zu sehen. Wir nehmen den Abgang im noerdlichen Seitenschiff zur Unterkirche. Dort befindet sich das Fresko von Christus in der Vorhoelle.
Es geht noch eine Schicht tiefer zu den Fragmenten des antiken Wohnhauses. Ganz am Ende der Katakomben befindet sich das Mithrasheiligtum, ein Relikt aus der vorchristlichen Zeit.
