This is Why You Should Not Eat Beans Before Driving

Vehicles, Amusing, Games, Explosion

And yes, alcohol will make it worse.

TF/Ds (Top Fuel Dragsters) are considered among the fastest accelerating machines in the world. How fast? Oh just fast enough to cover a quarter of a mile in less than 4.5 seconds, reaching speeds of up to 530km/h. Not very impressive? Try this, even the fastest production car in the world, the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, needs 9.2 seconds to cover the quarter mile.


And They Say I'm Reckless

Vehicles, Amusing, Planes

Obviously, they have not seen this guy yet.

I've done some reckless stuff in my life but not anywhere near as crazy as this.  The headline for this clip could have easily been "Man trying to pull crazily reckless stuff, got cut in half by an airplane wing"  Or "Airplane trying to pull a crazily reckless stuff, got cut in half by man."


I Swish My Cape at You!

Amusing Plane Landing

If you have not seen Planes, you wouldn't understand.

One of the perks of being a parent is having an excuse to watch children movies in theaters without receiving judging looks.  

"Two tickets please."
"By the way, I'm only here for my kid you know.  My son's been asking the whole morning for us to watch this."
"Dad, can we watch something else instead?  I want to see Inception."
"Err..  Quiet."
"He's so excited he's confusing himself."
"I'm not confused! I really don't want to watch this."
"Quiet down I'll treat you to ice cream later."
"Yay!"


Haroooooo!!!!

Funny, Amusing, Prank

That's hello in Japanese and the roar of a T-Rex rolled into one.  Smart eh?

Trust Japan for really good pranks I always say.  I can see my wife raising her eyebrow.  Fine, not always. Now although these clips are a bit old, they are still funny.  Just look at the ninja-like moves of the first guy and you'll understand why.  It's amusing amazing how he managed those flips and rolls.

Get the Ball! Get the Ball!! Get the mmmfffff

Funny Canoe Polo Event

That's gotta hurt.

I used to get into fist fights as a kid growing up right until high school and if there's one thing I learned from those experiences, it's this - getting punched in the face really hurts.  Every time you get hit, you hear this distinct bell sound - gongggggg. That's odd, a gong-sounding bell.

Mesmerizingly Beautiful Yet

Avalance Caught on Film

Just don't try standing in its way.

Else you'd get to know first hand how the servants of the pharaohs felt when they were being entombed alive. Only, your tomb would not be scorching hot, which I'm not sure is of any consolation at all.

Earth Random News

That's earth and the moon viewed from Mars.

The video, taken by the Curiosity Rover, has nothing spectacular to show aside from showing you how unspectacular the Earth is when viewed from another planet.  No bells, no whistles, just plain old speck. Hard to imagine that such a small dot is home to 7 billion people.  And to think that some of those in the 7 billion believe they are the most important being in all creation and that all the rest are there for their personal amusement.  Clearly, they haven't seen a martian before.
