1. A man jumped off the CN Tower in 1979.
He launched himself into the air more than 300 metres above the ground, plummeting toward the concrete below...
And survived.
Here's a little thread about Dar Robinson's death-defying leaps above Toronto...

Josh'es [sic] Book of ANIMALS 🦭

DYK that ROM's Saturday Club is widely regarded as the first true museum camp?
Ruth Home was the first camp director; she created Saturday Club in 1938 & believed museums should belong to everyone, including women and children.

My power’s really low, so this may be the last image I can send. Don’t worry about me though: my time here has been both productive and serene. If I can keep talking to my mission team, I will – but I’ll be signing off here soon. Thanks for staying with me.

I feel like, in these last days of twitter, we should all be just fucking asking for what we want. Like love, or work, or cash, or attention. No time for jokes or memes or whatever just like: say it, loudly and quickly

Unlike solar eclipses, lunar eclipses can be seen by nearly an entire hemisphere, which means that a much larger number of people can see them for a longer period of time. Do you see your city for the upcoming lunar eclipse? 👇
