A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

And now,

Biscoito is… a stapler!

    I’m especially worried for the guy who doesn’t even know the mechanics of how a stapler works…
    ‘do those close under the skin?’
    aye yi yi!

    please please please do not try this at home, lou.

    As far as the mechanics of a stapler works.

    When you staple something, notice how you always need that metal&plastic plate at the bottom for it to work? When you staple something that plate of metal offers the resitance for the staples to close.

    I suspect this man’s arm isn’t nearly hardenough to cause the stapples to close, although they may bend since they’re not designed to puncture flesh.

    To make a long explanation much shorter, no, the stapples do not close under the skin.

    Tohnia, He must have moved to my elementary school. And started a fad. All kinds of boys at that school would staple randomly into their hands and arms. It was in Maryvale, Phoenix, Arizona.

    /was usually apalled, which made them do it all the more.
