This is a video of marathon runner Eliud Kipchoge’s water bottle guy Claus-Henning Schulke doing everything he can to help secure Eliud’s world record 2:01:39 victory at the recent Berlin Marathon. Everything he can being giving Eliud water when he needs it, and celebrating each handoff like he just won the Kentucky Derby himself. Hey — it pays to have good people on your team. I imagine my bottle guy would be the sort to disappear into the nearest pub and emerge two hours later just to pass me a handful of bar nuts.

This is a video of Adam West from the original Batman television series having a conversation with himself over the phone as both Bruce Wayne AND Batman, as Commissioner Gordon and Chief O’Hara listen in. He does a great job, I can see why Adam got the part. Me? I would have never been able to keep the roles straight. Maybe that’s why I’m not an actor. That, and being sick and tired of getting typecast as the guy with an enormous penis. I have range, dammit! There’s more to me than just my penis. 85% more by weight as a matter of fact.

It’s hard to believe 1992 was 30 years ago, isn’t it? Time passes in the blink of an eye (and thousands of cold ones). This is a video from a typical McDonald’s restaurant in 1992 when the fast food giant was promoting Batman Returns and the Summer Olympics were taking place in Barcelona. I remember those uniforms! Just kidding, I can hardly remember anything from 1992, despite having lived through it. I imagine those were crazy times though. The real Wild West.

Spotted at Brickworld Chicago 2022 (my ban isn’t lifted until 2028), this M.C. Escher inspired LEGO fountain features water made of LEGO diamonds flowing uphill via LEGO-driven conveyor belts. Pretty clever. Granted it’s not the most convincing water I’ve ever seen, but we are talking about LEGO here — they’re angular plastic bits. Actual water is…actually I’m not sure what actual water is, but my doctor says I don’t drink enough of it and that’s why my pee is so thick.

This is a video of horse trainer Rebecca using a fake skeleton atop mare Bon Jovi (that’s no steel horse!) to get the horse accustomed to riders, and demonstrate to students how to properly ride a mount. Could she have used a crash test dummy instead? Probably, but those things are expensive. Besides, if a horse isn’t afraid of an undead rider, it certainly won’t be afraid of a human. You think this is how Ghost Rider got around before motorcycles were invented? Maybe that’s him in the video, he’s just lost his fire and is trying to get back to his roots. Definitely something to think about if you’re as bored and stupid as I am.

Keep going for the video, which is particularly worthwhile when Bon Jovi really starts rocking and Ghost Rider is bobbling all over the place.

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have found that adding robotic googly eyes that turn to gaze at pedestrians the car has identified help make them safer, by letting humans know the car has recognized them and (hopefully) won’t run them over. Plus the cars look way friendlier too — nobody ever thinks they’re going to get killed by a car with googly eyes. Still, if you try crossing the street looking at your cellphone I guarantee it will take the opportunity to speed up and end you.
