    It’s often said that dogs look like their owners. It’s scientifically proven, in fact, that when shown a photo of the owner members of the public could predict which breed of dog they owned twice as accurately as they should be able to.

    Whether your Adrien Brody-esque nose resembles a Doberman or you’ve got a mop of curly Poodle-hair, the fact of the matter is that humans are predisposed to “anthropomorphism”, which is attribution of human characteristics or features to animals.

    Blake “Snake” Davies: the man who delivers your coffee by skateboard
    Blake Davies 7

    Ah, good old food delivery, it’s been around forever! We all recognise the pizza guy who rides up in the precarious delivery moped. So when we heard about a skateboarding coffee barista down in Australia, we were intrigued. How does one put a spin on a job that would usually be stuck in the same old routine and find a way to express himself in a cool, different way?

    Decked out in a neon vest, Blake “Snake” Davies wheels around the New South Wales town of Port Macquarie delivering coffee to local customers. “It’s definitely my spin of the 50s diner roller-skate girls,” Blake said. “But mostly it’s just another way [for me] to make people smile and express myself.”
