This is a short video of a model rocket replica of Space X’s Falcon 9 reusable rocket blasting off, then coming back down and using its thruster to make a soft landing on its feet. It’s like a cat in that regard. Me? I’m also like a cat, but in

This is a short video from New York City of a street performer balancing a couch on his head while riding a bicycle. I believe this is the same man who was previously seen balancing a trash can on his head in this video. Dude’s got wicked balance. Me? I

Because not everybody has the Hulk-like strength of yours truly, this is a satisfying video of a machine created by JP Botelho that was designed to straighten bent rebar. Is rebar that’s been previously bent as structurally sound as rebar that hasn’t been? I have no clue, do I look

This is a short video of a mylar skeleton balloon doing its best dementor impression in an attempt to haunt a neighborhood street. It does a decent job, although I could tell its heart really wasn’t in it. Because it doesn’t have one! “Because it’s a skeleton.” What? No, because

Step into my time machine (sure, it looks like the same closet where we play 7 minutes in heaven) and take a trip back to 1971 and John Lennon hearing the recording of his ‘Imagine’ for the first time. He seems relatively pleased with the result. As he should be,

This is a video of musician Matthew Van Ness performing a 40 part multi-track orchestral cover of the Indiana Jones theme, playing all the different instruments with his voice.
