Concerned parents might like to know that students at St Andrew's University in Scotland indulge in a tradition of covering themselves with foam to honor the academic family. Raisin Weekend is held at the university's St Salvator's Quadrangle and a gift of raisins (now desert topping, shaving cream or insulating foam) is traditionally given by first year students to their elders as thanks for guidance and they receive a receipt in Latin, which no one can read. Sounds like a fair exchange.

A brave member of the amateur rope-jumping group brings us to the conclusion of this week's thrilling installment by plunging from a 144-foot-high waterpipe bridge in the Siberian Taiga. Fans of rope-jumping, a kind of extreme sport, we guess you could call it, use an advanced leverage system that combines mountaineering and rope safety equipment plus a whole lotta prayer. They marked the end of the group's jumping season, and our gallery, with this event. Thank you.
