Lego Antikythera Mechanism

The Antikythera Mechanism is the oldest known scientific computer, built in Greece at around 100 BCE. I won't go into too many details, the video does a good job of explaining, but suffice to say these guys built a fully functioning lego replica. Boom!

Arnold Tribute Metal Bands

Today I discovered something amazing, or rather two somethings. I was shown Austrian Death Machine and Arnocorps, two Arnold tribute metal bands. I didn't even know that was a thing. Anyway, I'll leave it up to you guys to decide which is better. (If you need more Arnold check out 290 of his most memorable quotes!)

Pneumatic Physics Prank

What could be better than a good prank? A good prank using ridiculous scientific equipment. If you want the full length "making of" version, go here.


(SPOILER: Sadly, this isn't actually real. There's a couple telltale signs that this was digitally edited alongside the physics issues)

Michael Buble Lets Fan Sing

Trust me, I'm aware of how painfully awkward this might seem to be. I can assure you, however, that Sam has a few surprises in store. Buble's swears make it that much more amusing!
