Fair warning: This clip is from Steve Berke Comedy (whose most recent efforts include a Macklemore parody song about pot and a Taylor Swift parody song about premature ejaculation), so there’s a chance the entire thing is bogus and nobody should be impressed. Should the second half of that sentence turn out to be untrue, holy shit here’s a guy juggling and solving a Rubik’s Cube at the same time.

It helps that the clip originated at Humans At Stanford, a juggler-themed Tumblr-esque thing, and was just co-opted a la EBaum’s World so the Steve Berke Comedy network (or whatever) could get traffic. Mission accomplished, dude, because a guy who can solve a Rubik’s Cube in the middle of a juggling routine deserves to be lauded and applauded by the entire world. I can’t do either of these things. Well, I can juggle a little, but it ends with people rolling their eyes at me because the only juggling of note in the world involves chainsaws and fire and me f**king around with a couple of lemons when I’m supposed to be working is not that.

Video is below. Enjoy, and don’t try this at home. You risk a heinous stickerburn.

Whatever the U.S. population is, you can soon add 8. Don't look at me – the state of Illinois sterilized me while I was in the joint due to an old anti-Irish eugenics policy that was still on the books. 8 Cuban acrobat jugglers disappeared before a performance in Mexico last week and are presumed heading northward to take advantage of the "wet foot, dry foot"policy:

"They arrived on Thursday, bought cell phones, and by eight in the morning on Friday they were gone," said Guadalupe Navarro, a spokeswoman for the Queretaro fair . . . The performers, trained in the circus tradition of the former Soviet Union but with added Cuban dance rhythms, are from a school whose graduates and students have toured the world for two decades . . .  The remaining Cuban performers scrambled to find replacement artists for a delicate pole-climbing act by calling on fellow Cuban circus performers living in Mexico.

I know some lovely ladies who were trained in Soviet circus traditions and are experts in delicate pole-climbing. I've only seen them perform to Nelly's "It's Getting Hot in Here", but I'm sure they could do it to Cuban dance rhythms. Is juggling a sport? If it gives me the slightest reason to post a pic of the lovely Cuban-American Eva Mendes, then yes it is. -KD  

This is bounce juggler Tim Nolan, who also spends a fair amount of time perfecting trick basketball shots.  Inevitably some of you haters are going to call this video a fake, but I assure you, it's not.  Check out the desolate Midwestern background of the outdoor shots.  Observe Tim's sweatpants.  Take those two things into account, and tell me this: what's more likely — that he spent a lot of time on his computer making digital effects, or that he spent hours alone in a gym trying to make a crazy bounce shot off a trampoline?

That's what I thought. 

Tim Nolan is available for theaters, casinos, cruises, festivals, sporting events, malls, TV shows, any occasion!

Sweet.  I need some entertainment for the next mascot bar mitzvah.
