This is a video highlighting the life of Kiki the sheep, who was born paralyzed after her mother contracted Cache Valley virus from a mosquito while pregnant. Young Kiki was brought to Massachusetts non-profit animal sanctuary Don’t Forget Us, Pet Us, which cares for farm animals with permanent disabilities, where
This is a video of a young rollerblader demonstrating her incredible balance by skating (and spinning around) on a single wheel. That’s wild! For reference, last weekend I tried riding my bike for a few seconds without holding the handlebars and time traveled to a future where I woke up
This is a hype reel for Limx Dynamics’ TRON 1 bipedal robot. The bot is multi-modal thanks to its three sets of interchangeable feet: flat feet, nubbins, and wheels. The wheeling up the stairs then jumping from the top was admittedly impressive. But can it use one foot and one

Back with yet another genius(?) bike hack, engineer The Q went and replaced the wheels of his bike with steel-toed metal frames that each hold 16 Adventure Time Jake The Dog slippers in place of rubber tires. The result is surprisingly impressive, provided you just have to watch and listen
