They later determined that the car only had the auto-parking system installed.
The 'Pedestrian Avoidance' package (an extra $$$$ option) was not installed.

This goes a bit above pranking. In many places this illegal and considered assault.

Not a domestic cat. Thats a wild bobcat or lynx making its escape.

Looks to be terrestrial in origin, light reflected off clouds.
See these other angles....

Note the very bright light and fireball erupting from the ground below the glowing cloud.

Meteors dont give you several glowing flashes ahead of time to get your camera ready for the big one...

I've seen this before, I know how it all ends...

Somebody call Sigourney Weaver, and hand me a flame thrower.

Works perfectly.... on hard smooth surfaces.

I believe that is the new 'Darwin Award Challenge' that is going viral....

This (the audio) is NOT a children's orchestra, this is the Portsmouth Sinfonia. I recognized it immediately.. The still image in the video is entirely unrelated.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portsmouth_Sinfonia

#2 wants only 'valid viral video' ?
Personally, I find it refreshing to see videos that havent already been flogged to death on every other video aggregator. Kudos snotr.

But what does its robot form look like?

Impressive that it can develop that much thrust, for as little time as it spends in the water.

He is only repeating everything that the media has been spewing out in their attempt to 'first on the scene' and hold onto an audience with nothing to go on but speculation.

This guy isnt the problem, he is pointing out the problem by ridiculing it.
And this must be early on in the timeline since there was no mention of CNN's black hole.

Admin, pls remove previous broken link.

#5, I do not know if applies to lake trout, but many fish have a 'sweet spot' in their life cycle that make for the best eating. Too small/young aren't worth the trouble, and too big/old do not taste as good. Also, the truely large fish which survive make for a better gene pool.

Many places also have minimum and maximum size laws.

I would mush rather see a big fish like that caught, photographed, and released rather then hanging on somebody's wall.

#8 Well, you definitely wouldnt sink, but walking on it would be difficult.

I like that he has a clock on top of the microwave, so he can tell what time it is while it is cooking food.

Update :: Dyslexie no longer costs €69 home / €445 schools....

They now use an expiring license scheme.... €10/yr home and €89/yr school.

You know... because dyslexia goes away after a while...

#4 Point 2) it claimns to go into a regenerative mode like electric cars do when braking. Adding braking resistance by turning the motor into a generator to recharge the batteries.

Point 3) Easy to steal, but unless they also steal the smart phone, they have succeeded in stealing a brick. 'Smart Locking'

Whst ever happened to this guy? http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/sptimes/obituary.aspx?pid=166922928

I agree that everyone really should try it once, just to experience it.
The hard part is finding one which is open for public use.
They too expensive for the avg. person to plunk one down in their house.

I was able to try one in college twice. The first time was one of the most relaxing experiences of my life. The second was one of the most terrifying. Sensory dep + sleep dep + caffeine was NOT a good time.

#1, yeah, I was expecting that this video was going to be that particular one.

He would be even bigger in Sweden if they got the aspect ratio correct.

#5, "how many civilians haven't the US army killed since then in their war for oil....I mean "democracy" ?"

Approximately 7.1 billion and counting... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_population

#14 What I saw was a lot of workers who did the same 'job' as I did, getting paid more money, while at the same time doing considerably less and/or poorer quality work. Any additional effort on my part in performing my job meant nothing, and if layoffs came around, I would be the first out the door. All thanks to union work ethic and the seniority ladder.

Ummm... yeah. Good luck with that.

I was amazed the players didnt immediately fall to the ground and hold their head after being bitten.

Song is cut from "At the end of the day" by Amon Tobin
One of my favorite pieces. Video is very well matched to the music.

Looks like someones private collection of radioactive oddities rather than an antique shop. Old watches and displays with radium dials. Not that uncommon.
And some uranium ore samples..

None of it really dangerous unless you swallow it.

#3 micro is 3 orders of magnitude below milli.

milli=.001
micro=.000001

Sunlight reflecting off of ice crystals, which are changing their orientation due to static charges in the nearby thunderstorm. Not a new video, but recently started making the rounds again.

For those few that get through, add them manually. *poof* Gone.

Out of all of the possible ways to NOT land a plane, this is probably the best and safest option.

#26, I was simply using #12s poor logic, and taking it to an extreme as an example.

Potassium Bromate causes cancer in rats? Yes.
Bread made with flour containing Potassium Bromate causes cancer? No.
Because the end product no longer contains Potassium Bromate.

Being around pure Sodium and pure Chlorine, dangerous? Yes.
Being around table salt, dangerous? No.

I agree, with the bleaching though. Mostly cosmetic.

#12 Since the chemical composition changes in the baking process... why not?

Similarly....
Sodium (Na) is a reactive metal which explodes violently in water.
Chlorine (Cl) gas is very toxic and was used as a chemical warfare agent in WWII.

.... Enjoy your table salt much?

Potassium Bromate and 7 other food chemicals NOT banned in the US.

Even if the truck had been 4WD, it would have been over the moment the idiot revved the engine and spun its wheels. Moron should have put it in low gear and just crawled away slowly.

So I guess we can add 'To see what they sound like' to the list of reasons to cut down trees?

Looks safe, provided the trains run on time reliably.

#3 Lend me your time machine! That event only happened 2 weeks ago.

#6, I agree. Most bikers would just use their foot, and not bother lugging around a grinder (which really didnt do anything to help remove the mirror anyway).

It is definitely a subject that would need to be looked at on a case by case basis. It is nice to see it worked in this location, but it definitely would not work everywhere.

Attitudes would need to change as well. At the end of the video, you see a large group of pedestrians pause half way across the road waiting for a car. The car then stops and allows the people to continue across. I see very little of that kind of mutual courtesy being exercised anywhere I have been.

What? No dubstep!?

Oh..wait. I forgot, this was about -music-.

The Mnozil Brass.... they are awesome.

The game is Berserk. (1980)

He needs to make a slingshot that shoots slingshots.

#1 The guy getting beat up... Modern highwayman trying to shake down a truck driver, learns the hard way how CB radio works, and that truck drivers are rather protective of each other.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EE6VFH_bBkA

Sounds like it has one of those rubber-ducky squeakers.

I was surprised that these professional gun owners were placing a high powered weapon in the hands of a quiet, nerdy kid.

Recent history has shown that this is a very risky thing to do.

Horrible camera work, and they took off too many of the steel bands.
Gave the silo too much vertical drop, very dangerous.
Done correctly, they almost lay over in slow motion.
http://www.snotr.com/video/9920/Awesome_Silo_Demolition

#12 Not asbestos. Concrete/morter dust, and what ever dust left over from what the silo was holding. (grain/silage/etc.)

Look at the bright side... unless they are wearing lead underwear, those guys will likely never have children now.

#8, Pilot flying too low? Reminds me of "Airplane".

Ted: "We're gonna have to come in pretty low on this approach."
Elaine: "Is that difficult?"
Ted: "Well sure it's difficult. It's part of every textbook approach. It's just something you have to do ... when you land."

#1 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterling_engine
#2 nope.

If I remember correctly, this was the result of an intentionally triggered avalanche. Yup.. found it. Longer different angle here... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32b9m7CeJfQ


You can see the guy who shot the video above backing up at 1:14 .

At the end, I was expecting a huge explosion when he split the atom...

World's most expensive aquarium screensaver.

Did it make anyone else think of NASCAR ?

#1, Jump in from the top!

#2, Fish.

Its a pottery wheel for aluminum.

#1 He did not drop very much. It is heavy enough that it sank, then ignited the resulting hydrogen gas while underwater. The pressure wave from the explosion broke the glass.

Too bad it only works for one person at a time.

Except that these cats are not under the effects of anesthesia. They have cerebellar hypoplasia (CH). They are this way all of the time. It is quite sad, actually.

See original video from 2007.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qjl5eHlaPb8

At a certain point, it just became funny to me that the wipers were still going.

The 45T is no longer the largest.

"But yeah, it works, so that s cool."

Umm.. it doesnt work. They didnt stop playing their music.
Chances are, the neighbors cannot even hear his attempts at revenge.

0:26 Wilhelm Scream.

If I had just watched multiple sharks fighting over the fish on the end of my line, I would not be so quick to reach over the side with my hand to retrieve the piece of 'bait' that remained...

I call fake, only because at todays prices, nobody ditches a cigarette with half an inch left to smoke on it..

Purrr-petual energy.

He aims low for the demonstration, because the armor is not tight against the body. If he had shot him in the upper chest, it likely would have broken a few ribs.

"Crikey, see the size of that?"
Yeah, I see it... Its not a very big pike.
1.5 - 2 kg max...

#10, With an extremely high power to weight ratio.

http://youtu.be/ilb55F-GGQg?t=7m12s

#6, or just put the twanger on the WALL.

In the far future, these will be the only thing found at the bottom of landfills.

I liked the guy who first stomped on it, then very deliberately pinned it down and picked it up by the back of the head.

#6, I believe this is testing for submarine launched missiles. Submarines are typically do not like to give away their locations for anything, even for testing.

#8, it was also the ONLY other time this was done.

For maximum bonus points, they should have made it so there was a different image on the back side.

...and then one night, a bored security guard solved them all.

#3, #5, .... "The animated short “Ruin” by Wes Ball and Oddball Animation is merely a sample segment from a full length feature they’d like to produce, but it works just as well in this abbreviated yet action packed form, so strap your eyes on and enjoy the ride."

How very altruistic of them... Ouch.

"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig.... You dig."

#13, You see it hovering at the very beginning of the video. And it only has two engines. The props on the wingstubs and the main rotor are all driven by a pair of turbo-shaft engines. If one should fail, the 2nd has enough power to keep it from just falling out of the sky.

#12 Yeah, not so much a documentary as a corporate commercial.

#10, #11, It is a prototype, proof of concept model to find ways to solve the problems that happen to helicopter rotors at high speed.

Suddenly makes furries refreshingly normal... doesnt it?

#4, "another classic example of a car driver driving straight out infront of a biker"

A biker who probably would have been seen if he had been moving at a normal highway speed.

2:37 "We just know we are going to discover something."

...thus insuring our government grant money for years to come...

The do this, but they wont let women drive??!?!

This is a very impressive display of precision timing. Launching them all on schedule is easy, getting them to all explode simultaneously after the launch on the other hand... Nice.

#2, Early microwave ovens were very sensitive to reflected power and would burn-out the magnetron. The easiest way to do that was operate the oven while it was empty. However most modern microwave ovens, even the cheap ones, have no problem with reflected power and can handle operating empty without damage for long periods of time. (usually the amount of time that you realized you forgot to put the food in)

The title is a bit misleading. This is not clearing a minefield, it is only clearing a safe path to drive through a suspected area. Explosives may still be sitting, waiting to go off only few feet away on either side of that path.

#23, The visitors badge at 0:28.

Bonus points for the Portal 2 reference.

My art teaches were always yelling at me... "Turning your canvas to work on it is unprofessional and WRONG." So I gave up art and became an engineer... :/

#8 Yes, he used the 'h' word... It existed long before WWII.

Beatboxing is one thing, but mimicing dubstep sound takes it to a new level.

"Pussy!" *slap* "Bitch!" *slap* [repeat]

Nobody remembers 'chugging'? It was a fad in the 80s where people would literally pour a pitcher of beer down their throat. Its all a matter of throat muscle control, and relatively flat beer or ale. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hX3_knlUJp8

#1, Bugatti Veyron isnt it?

Yes, he did survive.... with serious life threatening injuries.

"Brewer is in hospital in a stable condition, however he has suffered a fractured pelvis, lung injuries and spinal injuries."

#10 Not a Cochlear implant in this case. It is an Esteem.

"Hello, I was born deaf and 8 weeks ago I received a hearing implant. This is the video of them turning it on and me hearing myself for the first time Edit: For those of you who have asked the implant I received was Esteem offered by Envoy Medical." - sloanchurman

Not an inner-ear stimluator, but a bridge for missing or deformed bones in the ear.

#17, #24 Search for 'dash cam' on ebay. They are dirt cheap.

#1, you nailed it. One of the best lines in that movie.

I was waiting for her to swing the chainsaw and cut the cord in two...

Friction welding. Looks like a wheel rim.

Driver was screwing around, attempting front-wheel balance.... and failing.
I have seen similar, though instead of a bucket of dirt ending up on the driver, it was a bucket of sludgy pig manure.

The dog is lucky that the cat is declawed, and the cat is lucky that the dog is just having fun.

Not so much 'cliff' diving, and 'heavily sponsored platform' diving.

I guess some people really take their shit seriously.

Love these displays, even when they are commercial advertisements.
Too bad the 3D only looks good when viewed from specific angle.

#5, Just fix the car, and leave my private life out of it.

Had to watch this, just to find out wtf a Mureen was.... ohhh... Moray

She was 3yrs old when she got shot, and is 6yrs old when she forgave the shooter... She has no memory of what it was like before, or concept of what has been taken away from her. She only knows life in the condition she is in now. Tragic doesnt cover it.

"I can quit any time I want to... and I dont want to!!"

Extreme Planking!

Yingtongiddlayepo!

Its charging him for the time he stood there, not pumping gas, while the next car was waiting to use the pump.

There must be a more efficient way to cremate a body...

Watching bicycle wrecks always makes my knee and ankle joints ache.

I would like to thank whoever did the audio mixing on this video. Fantastic job ducking the music so it didnt overpower the rest of the audio. *hats off*

This video was found amidst the ashes, of several hundred acres of burnt forest.

The lines are brand-new and are not energized. The man sitting on the lines has no gear to protect him from coronal discharge. See also: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIjC7DjoVe8 at the 1 minute mark.

#7 The amount of armor they have now is responsible for many of the injuries you see today. Player slam into each other harder, because they know they are padded. The offensive player can ready himself for a hit he is about to make, but the person on the receiving end often cannot control how, where or when he is hit.

It would be better to reduce the padding and armor. (ie: Australian Football or Rugby) Sure you get bloody noses, and the occasional bone fracture, but players tend to not slam into each other as hard when they know that they will likely hurt themselves in the process.

Cat-Cam Trivia -- The first cat-cam showed up on the internet a few years ago. Geeky guy wondered where his cat, Mr.Lee, went during the day, so rigged a small camera to take pix every few seconds and hung it around his cats neck. Lasted about 2 months, and then he was threatened with an invasion of privacy lawsuit becasue the cat was taking pictures on private property without permission. Site went offline for quite some time. But now, he's back! http://www.mr-lee-catcam.de/

You will notice that he is wearing full body aluminum chainmaile armor...

Button press? Why not an IR motion sensor? Its not like they are hard to find....

Sorry. T&F in Dm should -only- be played on a pipe organ.

If he had stood perfectly still after throwing it, and then hit the target... THAT would have been awesome.

The lower line is arcing acorss a switch. Eventually the hot plasma rises high enough to arc across to the upper line. Nice flash, I'll bet they felt the heat from that one.

I want to see him do that with a modern 15,000 rpm drive.

Background music by The Future Sound of London

#8 Ironically, the narrator is arguably the greatest Time Lord of all time, Tom Baker.

#17 Yes, and it tells how to get rid of him.

I at least caught the Butler changing from a rolling pin to the candle-stick....

Im glad Snotr greenlighted this version of the video. Most of the other versions all have a blaring music soundtrack which covers up all the video game sound effects.

You will note at the end when the tires catch fire, that it is not due to friction.
Look carefully, you will see that it is the result of shortened exhaust pipes blowing onto the tires from underneath. Regardless, it makes for a good show.

Fire extinguisher at the end was a nice touch.

It was 8 years ago.... 2yrs ago. This was an actual commercial for Obama back in 2008, with the original actors from the beer commercial. Maybe they shouldnt have bought so much beer...

Third from the last is not propane. It is a power transformer overheating and bursting.

Jeff was so awesome, and Coupling was an overall brilliant show. TO top this off, the guy who created/wrote this show, is the one in command of Doctor Who now!

#5, #11, Cooking oil will break down and go rancid over time, mineral oil will not.

What I never hear about with these immersed computers is how well are they running 6 months later? Electrolytic capacitors need to 'breathe' under normal operation. Sinking them in oil is probably not listed in their design specs.

Popular Science Magazine, circa 1982.

What part of this is Utah? RIANOVOSTI is "Russian Information Agency Novosti".

If they had not exercised themselves into a state of anorexia, during all their 'training', they would have made it.

He won $100,000 and only had to spend a penny!

#(removed comment) Do they change color to match your socks?

One of my favorite commercials of all time.

#18
I dont know which video you watched, but he was running with the strobes on. You can see the side to side flickering on the roadway in front of the vehicle before the impact, and much more pronounced immediately afterward. Also, it looks like this probably wasnt a car, but a truck/bronco. Note the grill guard (which gets crumpled) along the front edge of the hood. As for the exploding deer... Im fairly certain that the majority of the deer ended up being knocked off to the right. Ever heard the term 'knocking the sh*t' out of someone?

#7
A cat would never admit to having been trained, let alone allow itself to be filmed doing something as humiliating as that.

How is a dancing, half-eaten, gazelle carcass supposed to make me want to buy Samsung products?

Admit it... you wanted to see him crack that cat in the head.

I share my life and my home with three wonderful cats. I would never wish harm upon them, or any cat. That said, I still think this is one of the most hilarious commercials I have ever seen!!

You dont hear alot of news out of Iraq now that soldiers arent dying so often. It just isnt news unless they can click the death toll counter another digit.

Faked. You can see the masking in the gravel precede him along the track.

Apparently 'chasing a boat' refers to anything that a boat is moving away from.

Love the accent. I kept waiting for the announcer to call it a 'Fargin sneaky bastige!'

More practicing for the Darwin Awards, I see....

Dutch this time? Ive seen this attributed to about 6 diff countries so far. This is part of show by a comedy duo called 'Men in Coats' and they are Canadian.

Darwin Award Nominee.

Ok, so they skipped poor little demoted Pluto, but where was Uranus? Come on, I want to see the size of Uranus!

Ya cant out-run radio.

Argh! Having to listen to that every day on your commute.

Was not a duck, it was a pigeon. Pelican will probably die now. *bleah*

Shows off how he can drive between opposing traffic, and the idiot runs square into the back of a car. LMAO!

There before the end, I thought it was going to be one to -those- horse videos.

Ummm, guys... -STORM- sewer.
