Proof that there is a fountain of youth and some people have drank from it, this is a video of an elderly gentleman joining a break dance battle in Las Vegas while Nirvana’s ‘Lithium’ plays. He’s certainly got the moves — he reminds me of Christopher Walken dancing in Fatboy
This is a video of a roller skater releasing a skate from his foot, letting it arc around the concessions area, then regrouping with his skate further down the rink. That’s incredible. And I should know, I’m quite the accomplished roller skater myself. When I was a kid I won
This is a video of natefromtheinternet popping a balloon full of Heinz ketchup to demonstrate its unique properties.

The study found that individually or in small groups humans
Because bad ideas come in all shapes and sizes, this is a video of Youtuber Gregulations constructing a motorcycle version of a penny farthing using a Yamaha YZF-R6 and a bunch of custom built parts. Despite having training wheels, the resulting cycle has deathtrap written all over it, and at
