This is an amazing illusion titled "Cyril has a fishy card trick". I'd say it's quite a card trick (and maybe an aquarium trick as well). You'll see what I mean

Top 10 Forgotten Rock Bands from the 90s

Remember the 1990s? Here is a great write up of the top 10 rock bands from the forgotten era.
The list explores some bands I could recall, but actually I also discovered quite a few I didn't.

Bells and the Rabbit

This funny Rabbit hopping game is very addictive. You control a rabbit that has to jump on bells to gain elevation. Each bell can be jumped on only once because it then disappears. Each Bell jump throws you in the air, and you have to land on another Bell in order to jump again. The high you reach before plumeting down, the higher your score will be.

I got 5500~ on the first try and 11000~ on the second. Have fun!
