Using an Excavator As a DIY Water Park Ride Is Death Defying Fun
Aug 20, 6:00AM
It's the middle of August. It's hot. You want to break open every fire hydrant you see. You view ice cubes as a precious resource. You see air conditioning as the greatest invention ever created. You can't wait to forget that you are a sweaty pig. You are jealous of these three guys in Russia who have hitched themselves to the insides of an excavator that dunks, swings, re-dunks, re-swings, re-re-re-dunks and keeps dunking them in a lake. Who cares if it looks dirty. Who cares if it looks like you'd probably drown. It looks like a hell of a good time. [TurkeyEuropechannel via Geekosystem]

Aug 20, 2:36AM
Okay, so, um, here's your perception warping, good times stomping news of the day: Finding Nemo is a damn lie. Not in a oh fish can talk sort of harmless lie but in an oh my god Nemo would grow up to bone his dad sort of awful lie. The Fisheries Blog broke down the science of Finding Nemo and pretty much exposed that Nemo's mom would die, Nemo's dad would switch sex and Nemo would eventually mate with his female dad.

Which Type of Alcohol Gets Destroyed Best By Guns?
Aug 20, 12:00AM
It's never a good idea to mix guns and alcohol unless you're using guns to shoot at alcohol. And we're not talking about just popping pellets at empty beer cans, we're talking about our friends at RatedRR firing AK-47s and AR-15s at full bottles of wine and champagne to create a bubbly (sorry) explosion. Watch as beer bottles, beer cans, champagne, wine and even boxed wine get destroyed by rifles. Which shot is best? I think I'm going with the boxed wine. [Rated RR]

Aug 19, 8:20PM
There's something unsatisfying about making a traditional complaint. As you're filling out the form, you can almost see the government bureaucrat crumpling it up and throwing it away a few days later. Wouldn't it be great if you could just yell at the pencil pushers directly? In Seoul, you can.
