This is a video from Thomas Edison’s motion picture studio of the first ever copyrighted film, The Blacksmith Shop, filmed by Edison’s assistant W.K.L. Dickson, and delivered to the Library of Congress for copyrighting in August of 1893. Granted it’s not a particularly exciting film, but historic nonetheless. Ah, August,

This is a heartwarming video from The Dodo highlighting the life of Grace, who lives with eight rescue dachshunds. She even takes them all to a drive-through carwash where they have a little wiener rave in the car, complete with light show and glow necklaces. So, if you were wondering

New York City 1, a 1942 piece by famed abstract artist Piet Mondrian, was unknowingly hung upside down (left) at its initial public display in 1945 (Mondrian died in 1944), and has been rehung the same way ever since. Well that’s embarrassing. Get it together, art nerds, those art history

This is another compilation video created by Trekkie John DiMarco (previously), this time featuring Star Trek clips that include the phrase “Klingons do not…” and variations thereof. Apparently Klingons don’t actually do a lot of things. I suppose that makes me more Klingon than I’d previously thought, because I hardly

Because driving in reverse is easy if you don’t care what you hit, this is a 60-second documentary (almost 3X the attention span of a normal human) highlighting the record breaking work of Scott Burner (great name), who holds the record for fastest mile in reverse, with a time of

These are several videos of tinkerer Kyle Krueger demonstrating the $679 Imalent MS18 LEF flashlight, the world’s brightest LED flashlight. The 100,000 lumen light has a reach of 1,350-meters and is definitely not a toy, although I would certainly still treat it like one. In the videos, Kyle shines the

This is a video of two Nebraskan sousaphone players at Bennington High School (which apparently had no problem lifting their mascot from the University Of Wisconsin) having a lightsaber duel, and providing the appropriate lightsaber sound effects with their instruments. That’s fun. Way funner than anything I did in high

Because dream it and, with enough people willing to risk broken bones you can achieve it, this is a video of Spain’s Castellers de Vilafranca setting a human pyramid record with a tower nine people high. Granted the very top floor of the tower is really only a half story

Even though rich people’s exotic cars are at the very bottom of my list of things to to worry about during natural disasters, these are several photos and videos from Naples, Florida of a $2.3-million McLaren P1 that, along with its garage neighbor Rolls-Royce Phantom, succumbed to storm surges caused

Note: Check your volume, wind. Also a little appropriate cursing. This is a video of a man filming some pelicans (first trip to the beach, huh?) when a dolphin decides there isn’t enough shit in the water already and races towards him like a shark during a feeding frenzy. That
