Vsauce: English & Psychology

A particularly interesting episode of vsauce outlining some of the abnormalities of the English languages as well as weird facts including that "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo" is a grammatically correct sentence (see the Wikipedia article for more info).

Restart Page & Robot Hand

Two completely unrelated internet finds, one about a nice robotics feat and a restart page with all the major operating system, a bit weird but cool nonetheless!

Minecraft: Top Structures

A person has actually taken the time to build an entire computer (16-bit) within Minecraft, maybe if he makes one powerful enough to run Minecraft itself the universe will blink out of existence (see full article here). Also, a guy with loads of time built a 1:1 scale replica of the Entreprise from Star Trek- nerdism at its best (article here). (the video "starts" at 1:30)

Running On Water: Myth or Reality?

Running on water, is it possible? No, it's not but it's still a neat video.

vsauce DONG sum-up

Here are a bunch of interesting links you can do online, found via vsauce.

Whathappenedinmybirthyear.com sums up the wikipedia events of the year in a neat fashion.

Dude moving cars is a dude that moves his hands over a video (video above too).

Finally, there's an interesting game that makes you do decisions for a poor american family: SPENT.

Videos Throughout Time (YTTM)

YTTM gives a good glipse of the video throughout time from the earliest sound recorded to the modern days.

Ray William Johnson =3

Reviews of both viral and interesting videos.

Epic MealTime

A bunch of University Students making videos with ridiculous food! Main channel can be found at: EpicMealTime

I Whip My Hair Back and Forth

The original song can be found: here.

Italy Soccer "Training"

Title also, for the video I was talking about previously see Double Rainbow.

Gizmodo has an interesting article about how the iPhone (and probably other digital cameras) can distort fast-moving objects, with propellers being the most common example. This iPhone video of a propeller is from the comments; there are lots of other examples in the article. Weird effects happen because "as it turns out, most digital cameras don't actually take a picture the instant you hit the button. What they actually do to capture an image is scan over the frame either vertically or horizontally. So basically, not all parts of an image are recorded at exactly same time (the top right could be a little ahead of the bottom left, etc.). Hence it being called rolling shutter."


It is cool to think that if our eyes had rolling shutters, this is how we might see the world too, with fast moving objects seeming to move in and out of existence or bend in strange ways. It's a great example of how perception is not necessarily reality.

A spoof of the current BP oil spill.

FIFA US VS England Highlights- In LEGO

Final score: 1-1, even if England was, in my opinion, dominating the game.

Coke and Mentos Car

Via Epic Win FTW

Hitler at the Robotics Championship

This will probably get taken down soon; the owners of the movie don't like 'Downfall' parodies (though the rest of us do!)

Science Conspiracies

Lots of people believe, that the "Large Hadron Collider", will destroy the world, similarly to making a wee version of a sun using 192 uber powerful lasers (see the article for more information) by 2022.

Also, an extremely popular video explaining in vague details what the LHC does can be found here.

A pretty good video proving the LHC conspiracy is "Science!" (though it goes off topic quite a bit).

Burj Khalifa- Grand Opening

Although this happened quite a while ago (night of the 4th of January), I hadn't heard the Burj Khalifa, the tallest structure in the world (standing at 828 m [2,717 ft]), was officially open until earlier today. For more info on this fantastic structure check out the wiki article and their official website.

Coldplay- Music Video

I quite enjoyed this, well made even though music in general isn't my favorite...
