I love this video, I really do. In case you missed it on the news, it is a video of a highway in Turkey with a pretty amazing crash and escape all rolled into one!

At first glance, you obviously notice that truck seems to have its dumper raised up at almost 90 degrees – an unusual position for something hurtling down the highway. Then you notice the inevitable crash into the bridge, the absolute decimation it causes and so on.

But look more closely and you’ll see that there was a man on that bridge, who for whatever reason did not decide to run like hell the minute he saw the truck coming. No, this man decided to stand his ground as if he was some kind of titanium-bodied Terminator and let the truck decimate the bridge around him. Amazing thing? That guy survived with minor injuries.

Now, imagine yourself in his position. Need a fresh pair of trousers?

Well, yes. This video is from New Year’s Eve 2008 in Paris, where a biker by the name of Robbie Maddison managed to jump his bike onto the top of the Arc de Triomphe, where he pootled around for a bit (showing off, naturally) before then coming down the other side to rejoin everyone at ground level. Pretty impressive stunt, all things considered.

Yes, that is Dean Cain giving the lecture. Yes, he used to be Superman. Get over it. Instead, wonder what the fuck the Microsoft marketing team were smoking when they came up with the idea of using puke as an advertisement message to get across to their customers. Especially after all these years of hard work – first they tried to not look like a big, evil, corporate machine, then they tried to not look like a big, evil, sterile and nerdy producer of boredom and then tried to claim that Vista wasn’t a worthless upgrade for 90% of the PC using world.

Seriously, what the hell were they thinking. Needless to say this ad got pulled after several people physically burned their eyes from their sockets to shield themselves from the horror.

Lego. There really is nothing you can’t do with the stuff. I’d wager it is entirely possible to create some kind of mecha-transformer-tank-killatron which could crush France with one foot whilst nuking China, taking a dump on Switzerland at the same time. Don’t believe me? PAH!

Anyway, returning to reality, this video is awesome. All your arcade classics from Pac-Man to Asteroids are represented in colourful plastic block form, and pretty well done too. Makes me want to play some of these again. Well, until I realise how extremely dated they are these days.

This gives me an idea for more Lego video games. We already have the official licensed Lego Star Wars and Lego Indiana Jones games, and Lego Harry Potter is on its way. Apparently they’re also making a Lego version of the music game Rock Band, and I have literally no idea how they conjoined those two ideas and though it would have anything but a disastrous outcome, but meh. Their problem.

No, my ideas are much better. How about Lego War on Terror? I, for one, would love to see Osama bin Laden Lego-ised, or a version of Operation Shock and Awe where the most dangerous thing likely to happen would be to tread on a plastic block in bare feet in the dark. Maybe that’s just me though…

This is something you don’t see every day. There have been a fair number of beatboxers over the years, not all of them good. Well, here is one act which laughs at their inadequacies whilst holding a flute and knocking out some phat beatz…

OK, so he isn’t like the second coming of Jesus or anything, but he is pretty good. Makes you wonder how you learn this kind of thing. Was he sat there playing his flute one day (hur hur) when he had a sudden urge to burp or something, then realised he could mix it up a little with some beatboxing. Who knows – either way, he’s pretty good.
