Creepy Contortionist

posted by Paul
Contortionist at Cape Town WaterfrontI guess it's not that nice to label people "creepy"... but seriously, contortionists creep me out - just a little. I know that they don't feel pain doing what they do, but I can't help feeling a sense of the pain that they should be feeling.

This chap has been at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town for quite some time. The photo sees him making his way out of the remains of a 25 gallon metal drum. I couldn't find any information about him, but interestingly enough, based on his accent I realised that he wasn't from South Africa... in fact, I don't think he's from Africa at all. For some reason I had the idea that he may even be American... can it be?

At first I wasn't sure what he was doing.

From your description I would be able to believe he is American. I wonder if he ever gets a leg cramp while doing stuff like this.
