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!)

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!
