Presumably training to take down that wall behind him, this is a video of a man chopping over 120 bricks in a row using only his hand and a short concrete wall. Like the Energizer bunny, he just keeps going. Me? I would have stopped after just a few. “I’ll
This is a short video of a stone crab “stealing” diver Duran Roberts’s camera in The Bahamas and trying to make a run scuttle for it. It then attempts to fight Duran for the camera when he tries to take it back. But was the camera actually stolen, or did
This is a video of a pet umbrella cockatoo carefully listening to its owner’s very impressive beatboxing before it joins in the fray with some synchronized head bobbing and wing waving. Clearly, that bird knows how to party. The birds around here? They just try to dive-bomb my apartment windows

Because scientists are an unending source of wild and crazy ideas, researchers at Cornell University and the University of Florence have developed a starfish shaped robot that’s controlled by the electrical signals generated by its onboard king oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus eryngii). I’m not going to lie, I did mistake those
This is a video of some children breaking open a piñata (which looks an awful lot like a twin size mattress storage bag) when the shoe fairy drops out of the bottom with a bunch of adult shoes, and the kids throw a shoe party. That’s fun! The last time
