Man, these ads show you how far we've come in the past 60 years. Makes you wonder how today's ads will look in the future. Wooo, go sexism!

Two Takes on our Universe
I don't really need to say much seeing as both of these explain our whole universe... or something?
It Eats Snow and Poops Bricks
-
Article,
Interesting,
Robots,
Snow
Only the Japanese could come up with a cute robot to eat snow, poop ice blocks, and do it all in the name of helping the elderly. That being said, I totally want one. My snow forts would be the most epic in all the land, and no one would dare question of my army of loyal robot minions. Buahahahaha! The future is here!

Girl has Ball Skills
-
Dance,
Interesting,
Skilled,
Video
I don't know what skill this is, but she has far too much of it. I'm pretty sure she was created by replacing the soul of a gymnast with that of a basketball player. That can't be natural.
Chromeo - Night by Night Remix
-
Dance,
Interesting,
Music,
Video
This catchy song has some great sounds and the main dancer in it has some very impressive moves. I don't know though, is he good enough that you'd pay to dance with him in a dingy warehouse? I'll leave that up to you.

Old Spice for Men
-
Advertising,
Comedy,
Video
Old Spice didn't want to pay for the Super Bowl ad space, so instead they released these awesome ads online during halftime. Its a shame they didn't shell out for the slots though because these are far funnier than anything I saw. Here are my favorite two.

Making Something Out of Nothing
I don't know how many of you out there are sailors, but I think anyone can appreciate this. To put it simply, some sailors said "Fuck you physics, we're going fast" and then accelerated their trimaran to 20 knots in a 2 knot wind. Thats right, these guys got going ten times faster than the wind that was powering them. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Hitler's Battletech Game Goes Awry
This clip from "The Downfall" has been used is a ridiculous amount of parodies, but this particularly nerdy take on it is by far my favorite. The amount you'll laugh is most likely directly proportional to your exposure to gaming culture, so you could think of it as a nerd litmus test. In that regard, I win!

The Bat Bomb
-
Historical,
Interesting,
Video,
War
I've seen many articles on the bizarre wonder weapons that Germany created during WWII, but this American project certainly takes the cake on the strangeness factor. Whats even more odd is apparently how well it worked! Well, animal cruelty issues aside... That part is a little disturbing. It is certainly creative though.

Conan O'Brien Kissing
Best kissing reaction ever. Of course, if I'd gotten a kiss from Rebecca Romijn Stamos I'd probably be on the same boat. Full video version here.
