This is a video of Durham, North Carolina’s infamous Norfolk Southern–Gregson Street Overpass (aka Can Opener Bridge, previous wrecks HERE) claiming its latest victim, an overheight towable RV. First it shears one of the rooftop AC units off before the entire RV gets stuck. It’s crazy how nonchalantly people crash
Built by the folks at HTX Studio, this is a video highlighting the robotic trash cans they modified to move and catch any garbage thrown in their direction. That’s cool. That way the next time you’re tossing a pink overdue bill in the trash and yell “Kobe!” you don’t embarrass

After performing a modified version the classic rubber hand experiment on octopuses, Japanese researchers Sumire Kawashima and Yuzuru Ikeda at The University of the Ryukyus have suggested octopuses may experience a sense of body ownership similar to humans. In the experiment, a partition and fake tentacle were used to cover
These are a couple videos of planet-gobbling cosmic entity Galactus strolling the floor at San Diego Comic-Con. The cosplay, constructed by the appropriately named Extreme Costumes, requires the wearer to walk on stilts. Or be 10 feet tall. The wearer actually looks through the bottom of Galactus’s neck — the
