These pool tricks seem like they're breaking all of Earth's magnets
Jan 11, 4:12AM
I'm not sure there's an explanation for this amazing set of pool tricks other than the guy doing them, professional pool trick shot player Florian Kohler, is just impossibly good at what he does or that Kohler has somehow found a way to coax all of the magnets on Earth to bend balls however he wants so they travel like they have their own brain on the felt. Somehow, the second explanation makes more sense after seeing this teaser for his upcoming trick shot compilation DVD. Balls move and change direction in ways that break physics.

Jan 11, 3:04AM
Genius. Photographer Chino Otsuka has discovered the art of time travel.

This flying drone helicopter truck is a real life transformer
Jan 11, 1:12AM
What is this? A flying drone? Eight flying drones? One flying helicopter? A moving room? A truck? It's a little bit of everything. Called the AT Black Knight Transformer, it combines the vertical takeoff and landing of a helicopter with the off-road driving capabilities of a truck. So yes, that means it can fly and drive.

This Six-Wheeled Stroller Can Roll Up and Down Stairs
Jan 11, 12:00AM
Navigating a city with a child in a stroller is hard enough, but imagine doing the same with a set of twins. Those double strollers are like driving a miniature bus, and you'll always be on the hunt for ramps, elevators, or a long way around a set of stairs. It's a problem that designer Jade Olsson may have just created a solution for—thanks to her six-wheeled T(w)o Go stroller concept, which can keep rolling right on up a flight of stairs.

Jan 10, 10:00PM
Myth: Alcohol kills brain cells. Now, to qualify that title, pure alcohol will absolutely kill brain cells and many other types of cells, which is why it is used as a disinfectant.
