Thank God gum doesn’t take that long to pass, and I don’t care if it doesn’t cause arthritis it’s gross…

Plane Landings in 35-55 Knot Winds

Can you imagine being in the plane as it’s wobbling back and forth like that? Pretty amazing that even some of the smaller planes were able to land in those conditions.

I think this guys commentary is almost as cool as the fact that this magnet doesn’t fall quickly through the copper pipe.

I’m a sucker for Rude Goldberg videos and what better way for Google to announce their worldwide science fair along with CERN, Lego, National Geographic, and Scientific American to announce a worldwide science fair?

You can always count on the Japanese to come up with some crazy ideas. Shimzu construction and architecture firm doesn’t disappoint with this very cool list of futuristic mega projects. From floating botanical cities to a self contained mega city pyramid that would house a million people. My favorite by far though is this solar belt that would circle the moon and then beam energy back to Earth through lasers!

2010 Illusion of the Year

Liebtag — Wed, 12 May 2010 17:51:45 +0000

This really is an amazing job of creating the illusion of an upward slope. When I see videos like this it almost makes a lot of the big theatrical magic I see not as exciting because I understand more how easy it is to manipulate people’s vision of what is happening. I mean is David Copperfield really flying in this clip? Claudia Schieffer should be ashamed of herself.

As a follow up to Eclipse of Mars which I’m sure most people have seen is this optical illusion which exposes the true ranges of colors the human eye can see. Eclipse of Titan reveals some amazing green colors that usually wouldn’t appear in nature due to the overlapping of color range sensitivity in our eyes.
