Because some people still believe in a having a little dangerous fun (the best kind), this is a video of “Rocketman” Robert Maddox blasting around a dried lake bed in “The Beast”, a pulse-jet powered go-kart he built. In the clip he hits speeds up to 90MPH while the engine glows devil red behind him and a propane tank and he steers with one hand, filming himself with the other. Rocketman says this was only at about half throttle too, since he didn’t want to open it all the way up with only one hand on the wheel. Hey — safety first. Or may third or fourth in this case.

This is some dashcam footage from a car that pulls over onto the curb at an intersection to make room for an ambulance approaching from behind, which proceeds to pass and drive through the intersection, neatly depositing a gurney in the middle on its way across. Thankfully, there was not a body on that gurney. Although, based on their inability to even close a door, presumably because they forgot the victim at the site of the accident.

Presumably demonstrating where the phrase bumping uglies originated, this is a video of two slugs getting it on. Or maybe they’re doing battle, it’s really hard to tell. What was not hard to tell was just how aroused my roommate got watching the video. I had to minimize the window just so he’d take his boner somewhere else. Then he texted me from his bedroom asking to send him the link but I’m leaning towards setting the apartment on fire instead. I swear, there are so many things wrong with that guy it would be easier to just count the things that are right, which is none.

Because some people on the internet are sicker than others, this is another music video from Youtuber There I Ruined It (previously), this time reimagining Disturbed’s angsty ‘Down With The Sickness’ into a doo-wop ditty (ditty dum ditty do). I’m really not sure what to even say except OH AH AH AH AH! Get it? Because that’s how the song starts. It’s also my favorite part, and they should have made a remix that was nothing but OH AH AH AH AHs.

Keep going for the video, as well as the original song for reference.

After several emails expressing an annoyance with the ads between page loads (believe me, I get it), I’ve removed them all, as well as scaled back all advertising on the site, which means the site will now be making even less than it was before, which was already next to nothing. These aren’t the golden days of internet advertising like when Geekologie was in its prime. BACKSTORY: After the pandemic hit, Geekologie couldn’t afford to pay me any longer, and I started Born In Space as a side project so I’d still have an outlet to keep myself sane. My point is this: I have to bathe in buckets and steal internet from my neighbors. If you’d like to contribute to help keep the site alive and above water (like that selfish Rose in Titanic) please consider making a monthly donation via the site’s Patreon (link in header bar above or HERE) or a one time contribution (or as often as you’re drunk and feeling philanthropic) via Paypal ([email protected]). Also, don’t ever hesitate to write me with any comments/complaints/suggestions. Remember: we’ll always have each other, and those two or three articles you kinda sorta thought were half funny.

This is a video of Uncle Ike the sulcata tortoise loving on an only hours-old newborn baby goat. How precious is that? Such cuties. Unfortuantely, when reached for comment about the heartwarming moment, the hare said Ike would still have to forfeit the race for not showing up.

Thanks to JustA, who informed me love is all around us, you just have to let it in. You hippie!
