Chinese Are Superior in Parallel Parking
Via Guinness World Records Beijing - May 31, 2012
During the recent launch party for the ‘Chinese Job’ special Mini car, professional driver Han Yue set a new world record for the tightest parallel parking when he drifted his 'Chinese Job' Mini car into a very tight parking space between two other minis with only 15 centimeters between the cars. Officials from the Guiness Book of World Records confirmed the new mark which beat the previous record by an incredible 7 cm. On April 17, 2012, professional stunt driver Patrik Folco of Italy set the previous Guiness World record in Rome, Italy by parking with only 22 cm. difference between the cars. That mark was thought to have been unbeatable, however Han Yue bested the old record on his first attempt and set the new mark in his seventh attempt:

Rare Photo of David Bowie in 1955
Here is a rare photo of David Bowie at the age of eight in 1955. At that time he was attending the Burnt Ash Junior School and he sang in the school choir. His voice was considered "adequate" but his recorder playing showed an "above-average musical ability". At the age of nine his dancing ability was said to be "vividly artistic" and "astonishing" for a child.
