Whole nine yards

Executives at Subway restaurants seriously underestimated the American public in this recent news item. Hope you like Onions on that... (Thanks Kingwood)

"To generalize is to be an idiot." - William Blake

Paths of glory

Riding a unicycle in the first place is somewhat insane, but racing a pickup down a mountainside on one wheel is definitely a crazy way to get from point A to point B.

"Over every mountain there is a path, although it may not be seen from the valley." - Theodore Roethke

Ars brevis

Speed-painting video attempts to show the beauty of life at every age, from beginning to end and over again in about 4 minutes (or less if you watch at 2x speed).

And Your Life on Earth generates a personalized look at how the world has changed since you were born.

"I was born in very sorry circumstances. Both of my parents were very sorry." - Norman Wisdom

Now and then

The good folks at Electrolux R&D just might have lost their minds. If this is the future of the kitchen, who wants it? And from the past, Retronaut delivers historic photos by tweet on the hour, every hour.

"The longer I live, the more beautiful life becomes." - Frank Lloyd Wright

Uncomfortable

Kick back, and relax while watching Guy Fieri eat in slow motion to "Killing Me Softly".

And speaking of horror, woman orders "fur wolf tail" for Halloween and turns out that it's not exactly what she thought it was.

"You know you're getting old when all the names in your black book have M.D. after them." - Harrison Ford

Strange weather we're having

The gang over at Jimmy Kimmel Live rustled up a nice compendium of evocatively-shaped weather patterns from local news broadcasts. Well, as long as they're not making rain.

And other unforced errors... the most disastrous typos in Western history.

"Nature never deceives us; it is we who deceive ourselves." - Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Hazardous tourist duty

Take a little trip to some dangerous and/or deadly destinations around the world, like this walk along a mountainside that gives new meaning to planking.

And this site uses Google Street View to look at the most perilous roads on the planet.

"The main dangers in this life are the people who want to change everything ... or nothing." - Nancy Astor

Foam over function

Break-dancing gymnasts + bullet time = broken laws of physics in the pit.

"Gravity is a contributing factor in nearly 73 percent of all accidents involving falling objects." - Dave Barry

Continuation

"87 Bounces", a really creative short film, ties things together in classic Hollywood movies via a wayward basketball.

And movie posters stripped down to basic shapes at "Film the blanks".

"Filmmaking is a chance to live many lifetimes." - Robert Altman

Safe or sorry

Informative official video, complete with timely rhymes, for a hard-to-believe new product called Scroguard is must see YT. Clearly will accomplish its mission by preventing the act in the first place.

And some vomit-inducing Facebook quotations under the conjecture that everyone is awful.

"Miracles do not, in fact, break the laws of nature." - C. S. Lewis

Onward Christian drummer

A little creative license on percussion arguably improves the listening enjoyment of this church band's rendition of "Oceans".

"You are the music while the music lasts." - T. S. Eliot

A case of the creeps

If you like woodwork and the supernatural, you're in luck. Ghosts make bookcases in a haunted but fully-functioning workshop. Or maybe it's stop-motion.

"One never notices what has been done; one can only see what remains to be done." - Marie Curie

Couchcophony

Not some strange piece of artwork — it's actually every couch gag from 25 years of "The Simpsons" (that's 554 episodes), played all at once. With sound.

"Everything is funny, as long as it's happening to somebody else." - Will Rogers

Spin zone

At first glance, you'd think there's no way this chocolate cake could blow your mind, but give it a few seconds to start spinning. (Warning for epilepsy AND diabetes.)

Also pretty sweet, some unbelievably realistic cake sculptures from Debbie Does Cakes.

Goatpocalypse

Crazed farm animal runs amok, makes nuisance of himself attacking innocent townspeople.

"Dogs never bite me — just humans." - Marilyn Monroe

Swine fu

Kids put to the test by an amazing real-life talking pig who bears striking resemblance to Jimmy Kimmel.

Feeling "meloncollie"? Wish you had that guy's big "mussels"? Wonder what a "flamingo dancer" looks like? Well Illustrated Twitter Typos shows all.

"No one appreciates the very special genius of your conversation as the dog does." - Christopher Morley

Let there be

General Electric gets Jeff Goldblum to play a super-suave version of his oddball self to hawk some newfangled light bulbs. Amusing, though a just slightly disturbing scene at the hot tub.

And want some timeless advice? Then ask the past and look in olde bookes.

"I've had a perfectly wonderful evening. But this wasn't it." - Groucho Marx

Looky here

In what seems like an obvious experiment/stunt, Nestle drums up some roundabout corporate goodwill by placing a hidden camera in a woman's bra to prove what we already know. All for a good cause.

"The lure of the distant and the difficult is deceptive. The great opportunity is where you are." - John Burroughs
