And the Oscar goes to…: Adorable toddler dramatically ‘dies’ during Star Wars lightsaber duel with his father
This is the hilarious moment a toddler pulls off an Oscar-worthy performance by faking his death in a sword fight. Dueling his father with a lightsaber, the young boy makes the well-acted fall after being hit (very lightly) by his dad. The footage was recorded at their home in Fountain Hills, near Phoenix, Arizona. In the video, the pair are seen battling each other with plastic lightsabers, created for the Star Wars film franchise. The dad, sitting on the floor to be at the same level as his son, puts on some amateur dramatics as he waves his green jedi blade. His son appears to be enjoying playing against him, using a red sith sword that looks similar to one used by Darth Vader in the films.

Mirror Chicken ruffles Boris Johnson’s feathers as he tries for Red Bull wings
Red Bull may have given Boris Johnson wings, but the Mirror Chicken was there to ruffle his feathers. The Tory leader bumbled into the F1 car factory, where he was handed a racing jacket. But our feathered friend was waiting outside the plant in Milton Keynes, eager to remind him that he still hasn’t agreed to be interviewed by BBC rottweiler Andrew Neil. “Are you all squawk, Boris?” our poultry pal crowed at him. Security around the visit was tight. One police officer even warned the Mirror Chicken not to cross the road in front of the factory. Not even to get to the other side. Inside, Johnson was reportedly trying and abjectly failing to change a tyre on a formula one car. The photo-op saw him don a team Red Bull jacket and attempt the operation - which the team’s mechanics can accomplish in 1.6 seconds. The best time the PM could manage was 16.6 seconds. During his tour of the facility, Mr Johnson reportedly asked workers: “Where’s the Pirelli … [Read more...] about Mirror Chicken ruffles Boris Johnson’s feathers as he tries for Red Bull wings
