Santa And God

Here's some biting humor from Penny Arcade that I'm sure will offend plenty of people. But hey, I think its an amusing way of presenting a point that I agree with. I guess that makes me an inflammatory person, hehe.

70 Million And Some Famous Paintings

This music video blew me away. I think it'll be pretty obvious why, but lets just say its awesome to see such a creative nod to classic art pieces.

Her Morning Elegance...?

If you all haven't seen the music video for "Her Morning Elegance", make sure you go do that first. It's an amazing piece of stop animation work. If you want to see a ridiculous parody of said video though, then look down here at this... classy masterpiece.

Mini Cannon Shooting Steel Balls

I don't know what kind of idiot destroys his own house to show off his mini cannon, but I suppose it's the same kind of guy who builds mini cannons. Either way I still want one if you're listening Santa.

Ralph Lauren 4D Experience

I'm not sure what makes this experience '4d' but I suppose its 3d objects projected on a 3d surface, which is 1d more than you get in a 3d movie experience? The integration is well done though, check it out!

DJing With A Multi-Touch Light Table

I know what you're thinking. "Man, I'd love to get into DJing but hauling my gear from club to club after all that partying would just be so tiring." Well fear no more, this fellow has invented a brilliant multi-touch light screen program so that all you need to bring is your flash drive with your music. Well... that and you've got to get all your clubs to buy one of these for ya...

Meet Buck

The classic boyfriend meets father bit has been done to death... but never like this. Buck goes to visit his excitable girlfriend and gets a surprise introduction to dad. Hilarious.

Paths Of Hate

I love the style and energy behind this trailer, and it immediately made me go check out the film's site. Sadly there isn't much information there, but I'm hoping this is going to be released somewhere I can see it. Even with no words it's so visceral.

I Love You So Lip Sync

Much like the Johnny Cash Project, these guys used a little application to let normal people make a music video for a classic song. Its not quite as nifty of a setup, but the results are great to watch.


Find it here on Vimeo (with things like a seek bar)

Upside Down Spetnaz

Is this photo real? Probably not. But it's so awesome I don't want to go out and disprove it. Ignorance is bliss and what not.

Mario Brothers GTA IV

I don't think many people have asked the question, "What would Grand Theft Auto be like with the Mario Brothers?" but I suppose its greater than 0. Here's a hilarious (and violent) take on that situation.

Why Statistics Are Important

Sometimes people can be very bad at risk management. I've tried to use this argument to get people to try skydiving, but its just inherently scarier to fling yourself from a plane than it is to get in a car and go downtown.

Robot Arm Ride

Somewhere between incredible stupidity and devious engineering lies a sweet spot where things like this can thrive. (0:06 is a good example of closer to stupidity)

Condom Bagpipe

Its creative and unexpected. I don't really know what else to say.

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!
