NOTE: Caught going around the internet again so I moved it to the front page, although I’d already started writing the article before a dim light (possibly a weak lightning bug kept in a jar too long) went off in the back of my brain and I decided to search

These are several videos of deadheads attempting to guess the year of a live Grateful Dead recording after listening to just a 10 second clip. The guy in the first video — he knows his stuff. Me? If I followed the Dead around for even one year I guarantee by

This is a compilation of the Titanic sinking (was once not enough?!) as reimagined in thirteen different movies and television shows over the past 100 years, including a couple cartoons. It’s crazy to think the Titanic sunk all the way back in 1912. I still remember reading about it in

This is a tour of the Kyowa Co. Ltd. rubber band factory, detailing how the snappy bands are made step by step. Kyowa has been making rubber bands since 1923 (happy 100 year anniversary!), so clearly they know what they’re doing. Me? I never have the slightest clue what I’m

In OMG what a precious angel news, this is a short video of a baby flamingo (just a lil’ flam) learning how to stand on one leg. How precious is that? The answer is ultra precious. Right up there with how Smeagol feels about the One Ring.

Because you don’t know until you try, the fun-loving and experimental Russian mechanics at Garage 54 took a notoriously lemony Lada and cut it in half lengthwise, but saving all the equipment necessary to keep it running. Then they drive it to town. That’s fun. Although I’m not sure how

These are several videos (including a night race and a 50 car free-for-all) from Instagram user dreamtrackbuiler of Hot Wheels racing down a closed water slide. All the races are pretty action packed, although I did just lose a fair amount of money betting on them. I probably should have

This is a short video of the weight of a gravel filled dump truck causing a sidewalk to collapse, and the truck to evacuate its load into the canal below. Um, hopefully that’s where they wanted all that gravel, although I’d definitely try to save some for filling the hole
