99: Red Luft Balloons and Years of Cubs Losers
Well it's about time for the fall classic and once again the lovable loser Cubs are not to be found. If you've ever wondered how long a century is, sit back and let 99 years of misery for Cubs fans put it in full perspective for you. This compilation, appropriately set to "99 Red Luft Balloons", ties up all the hopeless moments of seasons fallen for the Cubs, and the deep depression of Chicago fans everywhere. (Sorry Ray)

Tunnel of Death
And lastly, the 3,150m long Lefortovo Tunnel in Russia is the longest "in-city" tunnel in all of Europe. There is a river running over it and water leaks at some points. When the temperature reaches minus 38 degrees like it did last winter, the road freezes and the result is the attached video taken during a single day with the tunnel camera. And congratulations to the bus driver.
