You'll Never Believe All The Things Made Out Of Chicken Feathers
Mar 01, 4:00PM
As a nation, the United States consumes a whopping 8 billion chickens every year, and this results in a few mountains' worth of chicken feathers in pure waste. But no more, some entrepreneurs say: chicken feathers could be the future of plastic.

Russians build a snow plow out of a crappy car—and it works pretty well
Mar 01, 4:54AM
Winter came and overstayed its welcome. At what point do we make like the Russians and turn our tiny crappy cars into snow plow sleds? I say the next snow. Just hop on the hood of your car and make a friend drive you through and pummel it. Winter is stupid, this type of stupid fun makes it a little less so.

Mar 01, 3:01AM
You see that speck at the top of the mountain? That's snowboarder Matt Annetts standing on top of a 3600 feet tall mountain face that's so steep it looks completely vertical. And he's going to snowboard down the whole damn thing. And you get to watch him. And yeah, it's nuts. Breath evaporatingly nuts.

Listen to super talented voice actor Brock Baker zip through 33 different Simpsons impressions in 5 minutes. His Homer takes a little getting used to but he nails a good chunk of them. There are a few that are pitch perfect (like his Fat Tony). Anyway, it all adds up to a very fun watch.

The World's Longest Aircraft Finally Gets Off the Ground
Mar 01, 12:00AM
The HAV304 took the crown of "world's longest aircraft" with its inaugural flight today. The gargantuan spans a football field and towers just over two stories in height, owing its construction to pure metal. It sacrifices little in being the world's longest, as it still reaches 100 mph, which is triple that of the dwarfish Goodyear blimp. Further, it can stay airborne for just over three weeks (and hypothetically, if it could maintain its maximum speed for all that time, it would travel over 50,000 miles.)

Feb 28, 11:06PM
Everybody loves pizza. (This guy, especially .) But not everyone enjoys equal access to pizza. Some neighborhoods have more pizza places than others, and, more importantly, pizza is more expensive some places than in others. What can you do about it? Educate yourself.
