The crew from BBC’s Planet Earth Live better not let their bosses see this footage of a couple of toque macaque monkeys acting as cameramen. Bananas are way cheaper than a regular paycheck.

A time-lapse look back at the last 7 years of construction of the new tower at One World Trade Center as it starts from nothing and just this week became the tallest building in New York.

Stuntman Jim Ng and his unidentified friend show us how it’s done. What’s “it,” you may ask? “it” is doing amazing flips using only their lower bodies, then planting themselves to fire off deadly shots.
