It isn’t that often that a video blows me away with its sheer awesomeness, but this one certainly did. I don’t know whether it is the setting, the amazing conventional special effects (like wirework and standing very, very still), the brilliant CG effects or the twist at the end, but I just love this clip.

Chocolate fountains are the tools of Satan and his minions, tempting you with delicious treats which will condemn you to a life of obesity, albeit sugary nirvana style obesity. It should be no surprise that the biggest chocolate fountain is to be found in Las Vegas, home of everything debauched, amoral, sinful or otherwise generally [...]

Companies like Durex always have to be careful when they produce adverts – if they’re too explicit then they’ll be banned outright, but if they are too namby-pamby and beat around the bush, they will be seen as ‘not cool’ by young’uns (presumably ones who don’t mind ending up with a ball and chain, oops, [...]

I’m going on holiday in a few weeks, so what better pass-time to enjoy than watching videos of outright scary aeroplane landings from around the world, eh? Yes, I thought so too, so here are some of the best I’ve seen.

First up is this small plane in Russia, the pilot of which obviously thinks the [...]

‘What?’ I hear you cry, anguish telling in your voice. It is understandable, you have not witnessed the magic that is Contact Juggling. It is an art, an illusion and a skill, both mesmerising and beautiful and something which will blow your mind more than chewing on a live grenade.
But obviously you have to witness [...]

The guys who set the most recent land speed world record in 1997 are at it again it seems. Obviously wanting to improve on their Thrust SSC effort from over 10 years ago, which reached a top spead of over 760mph (that’s faster than the speed of sound), they have come up with their next [...]

This is a video of a skateboarder doing over 60mph down a German motorway (which apparently is a lot over the speed limit – those Germans are true speed freaks, aren’t they). He achieved it by getting a tow off a motorbike and being surrounded by a convoy of cars so the attempt could be [...]

In a departure from our normal habit of featuring stories highlighting why exactly humans are in the process of screwing up everything, I’ve decided to feature a website. Not just any website though: one which will stand the test of time and could well end up changing things for the better!
The site I am talking [...]

As Britain has absolutely no teams in this year’s Euro 2008 championships due to them all being rubbish, it could well be a bored summer for some people. However, Britain DOES have a team in a football competition taking place as we speak, its just not what you would expect…

A man in Indonesia has dropped over £5,000 worth of bank notes out of a plane over a sports field to promote his new self-help book. He claimed he would rather give the money away to others rather than spend it on a promotional campaign, but was stopped from dropping it over Jakarta by the [...]
