Gravi-tea

Is this man pouring tea, pulling taffy, or just testing the boundaries of street vendor physics?

"If it wasn't for the coffee, I'd have no identifiable personality whatsoever." -- David Letterman

Nailed it

Intramedullary nails are quite the workout to work out, and the removal is more than a little off-putting. These doctors should spend more time at the batting cages than the golf course.

And a Tumblr of not just facts, but ultrafacts.

"I told the doctor I broke my leg in two places. He told me to quit going to those places." -- Henny Youngman

Do unto others

Short-fused monkey takes no guff from his antagonist and delivers swift and merciless jumpkick-to-the-face justice. Almost seemed like they had a long-running beef...

Type in your age and find out what David Bowie was doing at the same time.

"It is not who is right, but what is right, that is of importance." -- Thomas Huxley

Musical tubes

Bach's Prelude No. 1, boomwhacker-style, doesn't quite have the orchestra's typical fluid precision. Maybe a tubular version of the William Tell Overture is more your speed.

"A classic is a book that doesn't have to be written again." -- W. E. B. Du Bois

The stuff of dreams

What does schadenfreude sound like? Poor, poor zillionaire pop-star backers... all the high hopes, yet Tidal is getting its proverbial @ss kicked by Spotify and other streaming services. But you can help for just pennies a day.

"Success is not forever and failure isn't fatal." – Don Shula

Jockey shorts

It's not the Super Bowl halftime show, but rider Blake Shinn had a small wardrobe malfunction in the first race.

These guys put a GoPro on a sparrow and captured some incredible video.

And some impressive zoom profferred on this (relatively) cheap camera with no special equipment.

"The worst way of flying, I think, is standby. It never works. That's why they call it standby. You end up standing there going, 'Bye!'" -- Jerry Seinfeld

Sabotage

Two guys infiltrate an Apple Store and pretend to work there, recommending that customers buy Microsoft products instead, as they strive to become Apple's "number two" employees. (But really, a $10K digital watch...?)

"Ninety-nine percent of the people in the world are fools and the rest of us are in great danger of contagion." -- Thornton Wilder

Paddle battle

It's not football but Polish Dragon Boat Rowing: Tug of Oar edition is a clever idea for a competition.

"Sports is the toy department of human life." -- Howard Cosell

Good fences

If you've ever had upstairs neighbors and wondered, this is what they're really up to.

And what the tech...? 25 pictures that perfectly sum up the state of the Bay Area.

"Honest disagreement is often a good sign of progress." -- Mahatma Gandhi

Stay off the furniture

Strange catch of the day: a silent video of three dogs tearing a wooden chair to shreds. Why, you ask? Beats me, but a fascinating oddity indeed.

And "Alien vs. Pooh" a literary mashup that'll probably end up published by Penguin.

"Every dogma has its day." -- Anthony Burgess

Roll with it

As if not creepy and haunting in their own right, black-and-white Teletubbies + Joy Division = stranger things indeed. I never really understood what was going on with them before, and I'm sure not any closer now.

"If you ask me anything I don't know, I'm not going to answer." -- Yogi Berra

With a flourish

Five guys who call themselves The Virts shuffle (and spin, and twirl, and flip) cards to the point of higher art form.

"Moonlight is sculpture." -- Nathaniel Hawthorne

Eagle doers

POV video captures an eagle's descent from the world's tallest building with breathtaking views of Dubai before he breaks into a dive and returns to his trainer.

And file this under "Insane" -- a fantastically detailed Boeing 777 scale model made from manila folders.

"What does it mean to pre-board? Do you get on before you get on?" -- George Carlin

Test pattern

For those aficionados of major-network TV, a faux fall TV lineup nearly as funny as the actual crappy shows it lampoons.

And in case you're ever on the show, where to find "Jeopardy" daily doubles.

"My folks came to [the] U.S. as immigrants, aliens, and became citizens. I was born in Boston, a citizen, went to Hollywood and became an alien." -- Leonard Nimoy

Ear opener

Watch this touching moment when a father of four experiences silence for the first time in more than ten years.

Also, play Google Feud and guess how Google autocompletes certain queries. Not predictable and not easy.

"While there is life, there is hope." -- Jules Verne

K9 Five-O

Transform your mutt into a police dog with this one simple trick that the cops don't want you to know. Surprising that PETA isn't all over it.

And seems there's a new "premiere marketplace for privilege" called WellDeserved, that even as comedy is somewhat nauseating. But I guess we deserve it.

"Irresponsibility is part of the pleasure of all art; it is the part the schools cannot recognize." -- James Joyce

Drop kick

The magic of video puts you right up front in the world's tallest and fastest "giga coaster", which is modeled after a hornet's flight and destined for a Charlotte, NC, amusement park. Viewing not recommended after eating.

And scroll slow, have fun, which might leave you wanting more when you're done.

"There is a point in every contest when sitting on the sidelines is not an option." -- Dean Smith
