He is a six-year-old boy suffering from a form of autism that makes social interaction difficult but he is a gifted piano player.

Meet Ethan Walmark, the autistic boy who has become a YouTube sensation with his piano-playing talent. Music has become a therapy for him.

In this viral video, he plays an impressive rendition of Billy Joel’s classic “Piano Man.”

Looking coyly up at the camera, he trills out an introduction to the song, and then he’s off, barely glancing down at the keys as he plays, clearly a natural.

Being too short to even reach the pedals, he stands by the piano, coming up to about shoulder height on the seated guitar player.

His parents, Mike and Alison, were wowed by his ability to play the Beatles’ I Will on the piano by ear when he was just four.

And they have given him their whole-hearted encouragement ever since

‘We just want our son to be happy, whatever that means to him.’ Mike Walmark said. ‘It’s not about us anymore. It’s about him.’

Ethan has 20 videos on YouTube of him performing hits such as Take on Me by A-Ha and James Taylor’s Mockingbird with siblings and by himself.

A bullfrog has become the latest internet sensation after a video of it sitting on a bench like a human went viral.

The YouTube video of the bullfrog apparently enjoying himself with its legs dangling from the wooden seat and its hands on its thighs has garnered over 5 million views since it was uploaded on April 25. And like a human, the frog seems to have a beer belly!

RoltonB, the YouTube user who posted the video, has this to say about the video: “The video was shot entirely fortuitously. The frog is OK. There is no nails, no glue, animal abuse, etc. Later, she jumped off the bench and galloped away to the water.”

Drew Garrett and Lauren Willy, two 17-year-old allegedly “hot” girls from Los Angeles, have become an Internet sensation, but for all the wrong reasons. Like other young girls such as Rebecca Black who try to be famous, Drew and Lauren have been subjected to a rage of vicious comments and death threats.

The two girls, calling themselves Double Take, recorded a video of their song entitled “Hot Problems” about all the troubles attractive people face. The video features the two moderately attractive teenage girls singing (and that’s putting it very politely) about the everyday problems they encounter as a result of their attractiveness and how perfect they are.

Double Take "Hot Problems"

These “hot” girls’ problems are now everyone’s problems as the video has gone viral, garnering almost 8 million views and 400,000 dislikes since it was uploaded on YouTube on April 15.

Fucking welcomes you. Don’t get worked up thinking that I am being vulgar.

Fucking (German pronunciation: “fooking”) is an Austrian village in the municipality of Tarsdorf, in the Innviertel region of western Upper Austria. The village is 33 kilometres north of Salzburg, 4 kilometres east of the German border.

Welcome to Fucking

Despite having a population of only 104, the charming village has become famous for its name in the English-speaking world. Its most popular tourist attractions are the four traffic signs with its Fucking name on them, beside which tourists stop to have their photograph taken.

One version of the sign features the village name with an additional sign beneath it, with the words “Bitte – nicht so schnell!” (“Please — not so fast!”). The lower sign — which features an illustration of two children — is meant to advise drivers to watch their speed, but tourists see this as hilarious when coupled with the village name.

Fucking....Please - Not So Fast!

A four-year-old girl from Winchester, Hampshire, has been accepted into Mensa after achieving a score of 159 on an IQ test, just one point below Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking.

Heidi Hankins was spotted as being of a “genius level” of intelligence after she taught herself to read, add and subtract, count to 40, draw pictures of people, recite poems and read books meant for seven-year-olds at the age of two.

Four-year-old Heidi Hankins has an IQ of 159, just one point below Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein

Her father, Dr Matthew Hankins, 47, from Winchester, Hampshire, who works as a lecturer at the University of Southampton, said she had shown signs of high development from a very early age.

Dr Hankins said: ‘Heidi has really flourished quicker than other children – academically, artistically and physically.

‘We don’t push Heidi at all. She has taken up everything herself and teaches herself.

‘She is not precocious, she is just a little girl who likes her Barbies and Lego but then you will find her sitting down and reading a book.’

‘We always thought Heidi was pretty bright because she was reading early,’ said her father, Matthew, 46.

‘I happen to specialise in measuring IQs in children and I was curious about her, and the results were off the scale.’

‘I got her the complete set of the Oxford Reading Tree books when she was two and she read through the whole set of 30 in about an hour. It’s what you would expect a seven-year-old to do. She was making noises and trying to talk literally since she was born and by age one her vocabulary was quite good. She was using full sentences almost as soon as she started to speak.’

An amazing three-minute video, set up by stuntman Devin Graham, that features a group of adrenalin thrill-seekers swinging through the Corona Arch in Moab, Utah, has gone viral with more than 2.5 million views since it was uploaded to YouTube 3 days ago.

Devin Graham (second left) and his team celebrate after their stunts.

The pendulum-style swing was made from 150ft of rope which was looped around an overhang. The swing itself was anchored by five different ropes. Stringent safety checks, including a test-run with a bag of rocks attached to the swing, were carried out before anyone jumped.

The daredevils buckled themselves in for the ride of their life before their jump which involved 130ft of freefall with the rope taking the riders up around another 100ft after that.

This is definitely not for the faint-hearted.

An array of cameras was used to capture the moment, including GoPros by the jumpers themselves to show it from their perspective. Other gadgets included a Canon 5D Mark II, Canon 7D, Canon 60D, Epic Red One and an iPhone 4S.

Devin and his team are no strangers to stunts – their previous efforts include the Human Slingshot Slip and Slide which shows them being flung into a lake, a 35ft bike jump and crazy water jetpack antics.

The death-defying antics were filmed over two days and even involved a marriage proposal. After one woman completed her ride, her boyfriend dropped down to dangle by her side and propose. Happily, she said ‘yes’.

Her “Painting with a Basketball- Yao Ming Portrait” shot her to fame and now she’s back.

Shanghai-based Malaysian Hong Yi has just released photos and a video of her Jay Chou portrait done using coffee cup stains!

Hong Yi's Jay Chou coffee stain portrait

26-year-old Hong Yi, nicknamed Red, spent 12 hours to complete the Jay Chou coffee stain portrait in Shanghai on Valentine’s Day.  She was inspired by the opening line of Jay Chou’s song “Secret” (Bu Neng Shuo De Mi Mi 不能说的秘密) about lifting up a coffee cup off the saucer.  She described the coffee in the song is cold (“冷咖啡离开了杯垫”) because the main character has been thinking too much about the past.

What would you do if your daughter posts a very disrespectful rant about you on Facebook?

A 15-year-old girl from North Carolina found out the hard way that it does not pay to talk bad about your parents after her dad read her Facebook rant. She was taught a very public lesson that she would never forget.
