This is a video of British rock climber/possible faun Johnny Dawes demonstrating his no-hands climbing technique, first on a relatively small stone slab, then on a much larger and higher climb. He’s definitely got the skills. AND the tweed suit I 100% expected to see as soon as I read
This is a one minute timelapse video (played at 120X) of Hong Kong Jenga stacker Mengaman allegedly stacking 1,512 Jenga blocks (a world record) on a single vertical piece over the course of an hour and twenty minutes, before it collapses while he’s taking pictures and video of it. Impressive.

Daring to dream: some people aren’t afraid to do it. Case in point: this video of the Brick Experiment Channel trying to construct the world’s longest 1:1 LEGO gear train (with first and last gears turning at the same speed), all driven by a single LEGO Power Functions motor. And
This is a video from Little Ball Creations, who constructs marble mazes like the one seen here out of carefully bent and soldered copper wire. That’s cool, I wouldn’t mind one of those on my desk (and if you’re interested in one you can contact him through Facebooks). You know
