I am a fan of useless cool facts. Not always useful but it can be a show stopper at party. I am not a socialite, not even an extrovert but I sometimes use useless facts in family related party. In Twitter, I subscribed to Fact Maniac, just to keep afresh on the line of useless facts. I am ready to go to good lenght in learning facts that are more trivial. In the past (well, before the internet), it was more slow to acquire useless facts. Now, it is a bit more easy, even if in some place, the information repeat itself.
Today, I learned (by Fact Maniac, on Twitter, just to give credit it's due) there is tree shaping (I look at wikipedia for more info, and some photo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_shaping). Seeing the name of tree shaping, I thought of bonsai and penjing. Well, from what I could saw, from the pictures, tree shaping is way cooler. I also found a website on information to shape trees: http://treeshapers.net/ and practitionners.
So, tree shaping is an art that do thing differently and it can be bigger than bonsai. It is something that could be more widespread but it is not popular right now. I think I like that, it is a bit of an underdog. I just would had liked to learn about it a bit sooner. Well, I often say that for many things. It seems that I am always late when it comes to cool stuff...
