The Turtle Circus (1908)
The Turtle Circus appeared in a 1908 issue of St. Nicholas Magazine. Presumably the intent was to teach children something about turtles, but in reality, it's just about some crazy person who cruelly balances reptiles on cups.
The Wishing Spheres Of Singapore
The people of Singapore celebrated the New Year by launching wishing spheres in the Singapore River...
The tradition of the wishing spheres was launched years ago by Singapore’s authorities as a way to bring people together and now it’s become an international event. People travel from all over the world to write their wishes for the new year on a giant white sphere and throw it in the Singapore River.
This year, a record 10,000 wishing spheres were available for inking, but they still weren’t enough to cover demand. The wishing-sphere-covered Singapore River is quite a sight to behold this time of year, especially at night, when the spheres are lit.
