This is a worthwhile and beautifully shot video of freerunner Calen Chan dressed as Ezio Auditore da Firenze from Assassin’s Creed II (and Brotherhood and Revelations) performing some very impressive parkour in and around Khiva, Uzbekistan. The video comes complete with Ezio giving chase and doing battle with costumed enemies.

This is what appears to be a perpetual motion machine, in which a marble rolls down a ramp and is launched back to the top to repeat the cycle endlessly. Of course if you know anything about the laws of physics, you probably know I’ve been trying to invent a

This is a video highlighting ‘Big Carl’, an 8-foot tall tuba (believed to the world’s largest) owned by Carl Fisher Music of New York City since its inception around 1900. That’s an old tuba! The absolutely massive unit weighs over 100-pounds and doesn’t have pistons and valves like a traditional

This is a video of Australian BMX rider Ryan Williams (aka R-Willy) hitting a giant ramp and supermanning while his bike performs a forward flip underneath him, then reconnecting with his ride, completing another flip WITH it, and sticking the landing. I’m sure there’s a name for the trick, but

This is a video of a horn player spiritedly holding an infinitely long note using a circular breathing technique (breathing in through the nose while blowing out through the mouth using air stored in the cheeks). One of their bandmates humorously comes over to try to stop them before the

The 90’s, what can I say — I lived through them. Or, I should say, I survived through them, because I’m not sure what I was doing could be considered living. What I’m doing now either. This is a half hour mashup medley of 600 songs that were released from

This is a video of a woman in a beautiful pair of red boots living her best life until she mistakes a pool for ground she can walk on and takes an accidental dip. Jesus did it better. Still, that is unfortunate. But only for her, because I felt quite

This is a clip from BBC Earth’s Seven Worlds, One Planet narrated by the man, the myth, the legend David Attenborough featuring a millions-strong school of grey mullet passing along Florida’s coast in the shallows to avoid deep-water predators on their way to their spawning grounds (technically spawning waters).
