The 9 Principles of Leaning
Around the world people are leaning. Why are they leaning? What do they gain? Do they know something we don't? Why not submit your own 'leaning' photos?
1/11Here we have the Piccadilly Circus Lean, notice the sideways orientation and well planted feet.
2/11A shelter may be built in the hostile 'loungeroom' environment by leaning two humans together. Please note, this will not keep you safe from lions.
3/11The group lean is a traditional community activity among some British tribes. Either that or this man is being mocked by a group of women. Who knows?
4/11It's a scientifically proven fact* that leaning makes a child 30% more likely to succeed in life.[*This is not a scientifically proven fact.]
5/11This man appears to be travelling at a remarkable speed. This is, in fact, not true. He is leaning against a phone booth.
6/11Leaning is to be enjoyed. Either on your own or in a group situation. Ice cream is fine too.
7/11Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
8/11Once again, your eyes deceive you. The woman in this photo is ninety years old. Leaning has preserved her youthful appearance.
9/11A second after this photo was taken, the man in the yellow shirt exploded from the extreme pressures caused by this group lean.
10/11Once one has meditated for nine years on the Zen of leaning, one may achieve feats of leaning as great as the one pictured here. It takes time, devotion, and a tax deductible donation to a yogi.
11/11This lean is reported to have ended both world wars, the cold war, and three wars that we haven't even had yet.
