@ghostprotocol_X @NMalaboeuf @franceinfo Il faudra déjà apprendre le français, ensuite à s'informer et réfléchir avant d'émettre son avis ; au risque de passer pour un ou une imbécile :)

This is a real X-ray of a contortionist in a full backbend — and it reveals something most people never expect.

Look at the middle section of the spine. It barely moves at all.

That rigid section is the thoracic spine — the 12 vertebrae that connect directly to your rib cage. Because it anchors your ribs, which in turn protect your heart and lungs, evolution locked it down. It has the least forward-and-backward flexibility of any part of your spine. No amount of training changes that.

So where does the extreme bend actually come from?

Mostly the neck. Contortionists can fold their head so far back that it nearly touches their spine — and that alone creates most of the visual drama. The lower back contributes too, but the neck is the real secret behind every jaw-dropping backbend you have ever seen.

The woman in this scan is Italian contortionist Irene Betti. The image was created by Michel Ritz, a French physiotherapist who studies contortionists professionally. It is not AI. It is not edited. It is just human anatomy pushed to its limit — and then photographed from the inside.

Scientists who studied Mongolian circus contortionists using full-spine MRI in 2008 found something equally surprising: despite a lifetime of extreme bending, most showed remarkably little spinal damage. Their rigorous training had actually built the muscles needed to protect the very joints they were stressing.

The spine looks like it is breaking. It is not. It is doing exactly what it was built to do — just in the hands of someone who spent years learning where the limits are.

A civilization that could carve this into a door treated beauty as a public duty.

Stand before the door of Duomo di Milano long enough, and the modern world begins to look painfully soulless.

“Quando penso a Flavio, mi vengono in mente l’umanità e la gratitudine di un ragazzo sensibile come pochi”. La personalità di Cobolli raccontata da chi l’ha conosciuto dal vivo, negli ultimi mesi, nel momento più tragico.

Al telefono c’è la voce toccata di Manuela, la mamma di Mattia, il tredicenne morto a Roma lo scorso aprile. Suo figlio era una promessa del Tennis Club Parioli, lo stesso che ha lanciato Cobolli verso il successo. «Erano legati. Flavio è un faro per i più giovani», racconta Paolo Cerasi, presidente del circolo. «Cobolli è un ragazzo con un’empatia fuori dal comune», prosegue. Manuela dice: “Flavio conosceva bene Mattia. La nostra famiglia gli è grata per tutto quello che ha fatto. Il tifo lo avremmo fatto lo stesso, anche se non ci avesse dedicato nulla”.

@bay_serge38882 @VirgoWhallala Il y a un parallèle avec Bruel. Il y a longtemps, je suis dans un hôtel où Bruel venait de passer pour un concert. Le gérant de l'hôtel m'avait raconté à quel point ce type avait été détestable avec tout le personnel de l'hôtel.

[Kate @KateJake7]

@bay_serge38882 @VirgoWhallala Oui, c'est ce que m'avait confié la personne. Elle était particulièrement odieuse avec les personnes "d'un rang inférieur" selon sa conception à elle. A partir ce moment-là, et au vu de ce qu'il m'a confié, je l'ai méprisée.

Extremely rare 'White Auroras' spotted over Norway.

The sky over Norway just did something it almost never does.
Photographers chasing the northern lights got the shock of their lives.

Instead of the usual greens and purples dancing overhead, the auroras turned ghostly white.

Pure. Pale. Almost glowing.

It's one of the rarest aurora displays on Earth.

Scientists say white auroras happen when multiple aurora colors overload the human eye at once, blending together until they appear colorless. The brain simply can't process all the wavelengths firing at the same time, so it surrenders and sees white.

Most aurora chasers go their entire careers without witnessing it.
Norway just delivered the impossible.

Cameras across the Arctic captured the eerie phenomenon lighting up the night like frozen lightning, leaving even seasoned skywatchers speechless.

Some called it otherworldly.
Others said it looked like the sky was bleeding light.

And for a few unforgettable minutes, the heavens above Norway turned into something nobody had ever seen before.

La libération de la parole a également eu pour conséquence l’augmentation des plaintes. Problème d’ajustement sérieux.
