Talented dude’s short stopmotion video done completely on a dry erase board, slobber over his skill.

More great movie moments from Turkey, with all the boulder hitting, sand-scratching, and leading-lady-trying-to-smile-at-the-end you crave.

Superman? In Turkey? You’ll be a believer, thanks this great moment of Turkish cinema! And Superman will remind you more of Jason Voorhees than Christopher Reeve!

You are looking at England’s ugliest vegetable, grown specifically for Britain’s National Trust’s ugliest vegetable competition. It’s actually a great idea for a contest which seeks to promote the notion that good food doesn’t need to look good.

Awesome, nature-made Halloween decoration right there. Then you make soup.

Congratulations are in order for Mrs. Hilary Nellist from Bedford, England on her “Parsnip From the Deep.”

Forget the Segway. Give me a Hermes for Christmas.

Not a car, not a motorcyle, and not ever going to be made. Conceived as a student project.

This may come as a shock to some of you who aren’t up-and-up on your gamer lore, but Nintendo hasn’t always been about mushroom-popping plumbers and androgynous elf-like warriors. In fact, the company’s origins date back to the late XIXth century as a producer of hand-made hanafuda playing cards. Yes, just regular, run-of-the-mill playing cards.

After trying its hand at producing many different products (such as vacuums and taxi companies), Nintendo settled into toymaking, churning out all sorts of great little goodies for great little Japanese boys and girls. And one lucky toy collector has accumulated a little hoard of these rare pieces of Nintendo memorabilia, all of which pre-date the big arcade era which would define Nintendo till this very day. It’s quite a fascinating exhibit.
Oh, and those of you who are familiar with the Wario Ware series of games will recognise the Custom Gunman and the Ultra Hand toys, both of which are proudly brandished in their respective micro-games.

I adore these following videos of random chemical experiments. From the antisceptic layout, to the narrator’s voice, to the fonts used on the bottles. Oh, and the results, too.

These, of course, not only carry the “do not try this at home” tag, but also the “don’t inhale bromine” and “if you go to the pharmacy to ask for concentrated sulfuric acid you will get a call from the FBI” ones, too.
