Because theme nights make a trip to the ballpark even better (although I wouldn’t say no to a bobblehead giveaway), the collegiate summer baseball team Tri-City Chili Peppers of Colonial Heights, Virginia play several ‘cosmic’ games each season (move over, bowling!), held at night under blacklights with uniforms, bats, balls,

In an effort to highlight the advances in Chinese robotics, over 20 humanoid robots competed in the recent Beijing Half Marathon (13.1-miles) to see how they stack up against humans. Many didn’t finish, but several did, with the fastest, a robot named Tiangong Ultra, finishing with a time of 2

This is a clip of a future knee replacement candidate racing down the 999-step ‘Stairway To Heaven, located in Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park in Zhangjiajie, China.

This is a video from the recent X-Games on Buttermilk Mountain in Aspen, Colorado of Italian skier Miro Tabanelli and Japanese snowboarder Hiroto Ogiwara landing the first 2340° spins.
