6/1/2005: Young Mongolian contortionist



Magilla sends this freaky looking oddity, the official caption: A young contortionist practises at the Mongolian National Circus in Ulan Bator May 24, 2005. The Mongolian National Circus, which was established in 1940, presents several performances like acrobatics, gymnastics, juggling, tightrope walking, animal acts, clowns, magic tricks, and is best known for its contortionists. It has continuously trained contortionists, also known as 'rubber girls' or 'Girls without Bones'.

Mongolia seems like a culture off the map - as in, one rarely hears about it, here.

I think it's kinda cool that they have a National Circus. Could we get one, too?

I'm alarmed at the contortion of this innocent child. What if she sticks that way?

What they don't show is the next step: they paint some numbers on her, and get a couple of big burly guys to throw her across the mat, to play their "human D&D" game.

The Mongolians didn't have to. A Chinese general opened the gate. (That's what the Emperor gets for taking his wife.)
