Mona Lisa in a Rice Field

I’ve seen my share of Fall corn field art. I’ve been to the Great Godfrey Corn Maze more than once. They turn a corn field into a different shaped maze each year. While that is certainly impressive, the rice field art featured on Cool Things in Random Places blows me away!

What surprises me most about it is that the parking lot next to the field is not full. I would think people would be lined up to climb up on that roof and get a good look at the art from above.

Cool Things in Random Places has photos of several other spectacular rice fields as well as some pictures showing the process of making the art and what it looks like close up.

Chopsticks

Metro.co.uk reports that eighteen year old Kathryn Ratcliffe from Newcastle, UK broke the record for eating grains of rice during the Chopsticks Championship. How does someone win this honor? She ate 96 grains in two minutes - breaking the existing record of 64 grains in three minutes.

Kathryn broke her first world record at the age of 12 and she now holds four records! Her other records are for eating Smarties with chopsticks, eating jelly with chopsticks, and separating jelly beans by color into separate pots with a straw.

I wonder what Kathryn has planned next. More with chopsticks? More with straws? Perhaps she’ll retire after her fourth win. I doubt she’ll quit now. I see many records in her future.
