This amazing piece of footage is from Matthew Gough's helmet cam, which recorded the moment when his base-jumping parachute got twisted sending him hurtling to the ground. Shocked, dazed and confused about what just happened, Gough somehow escaped with just minor injuries. Read More >>
The other night, the pilot of US Airways Express Flight 4560 was having some bad luck. The landing gear on his turboprop twin-engine plane just wouldn't go all the way down. So with some quick thinking and righteous piloting skills, he went in for a wheelless, sparky touchdown, and pulled it off without a hitch. Read More >>

My point is that in Poland, right after the landing I mostly observed people just saying meh and complaini..." More »
If you're going to have a glass of orange juice and brush your teeth (a good idea), there's only one order in which to do them. It makes sense that your minty toothpaste-mouth would make OJ taste weird, but why so down-right heinous? Read More >>

We didn't get to see the PS4 at Sony's big reveal event a few months ago, but with the NextBox announcement right around the corner (read: tomorrow), Sony's showing off a sneak peek to get us all riled. It's hard to make out much of anything other than the vague shape of the thing, but it's better than nothing. Can you make out anything cool? Read More >>
A massive explosion, equivalent to five tonnes of TNT annihilating our satellite's surface, hit the poor Moon back in March. It created a bright flash that glowed like a 4th magnitude star, and could be seen by the naked eye, but apparently no one spotted it, until now. Read More >>
There are probably a lot of things you learned in school that you don't even remember, but the "order of operations" — also known as PEMDAS — is likely to be one that stuck with you; you'll mess up even simple equations without it. The catch? Well, it's wrong. Read More >>
Lasers, bubbles, edge-tracking, and Daft Punk are all pretty awesome in their own separate ways, but put together, they can put one one hell of a useless, random, but awesome show. Read More >>
Turning water into ice usually takes a lot of time. Not for this guy though, he magically turns liquid water into frozen ice. It's instantaneous! Seriously, just watch water get poured from the bottle and then freeze immediately. What kind of sorcery is this? Read More >>
Robert Burden, an artist living in San Francisco, has an affinity for immortalising his favourite childhood action figures as gigantic oil paintings that makes them seem larger than life. His latest piece, The Autobot, which gives Optimus Prime the glory he so readily deserves, took over 1,000 hours to complete. And thankfully for us, Robert captured the entire process in an awesome two and a half minute timelapse. Read More >>

When we see Nigerian princes or weird links or invasive people who want to much personal information pop up in our email inbox, we immediately know that they're scams. It's part of the Internet. But what if it was a part of real life too? It would be absolutely terrifying to see online scams and viruses as people. Read More >>

Skynet comes across as a resourceful artificial intelligence. After all, if it's clever enough to send someone back in time to wipe out an enemy before they're born, it's not hard to believe it could see the potential in Lego Technic when it comes to building an army. Particularly when we've just shown it how. Read More >>
TV show websites are notoriously bad and comically unreal yet I can't help but be charmed by their hilarious simplicity (and god awful horribleness). Can you imagine if there were giant flashing RED ALERT messages popping up at you? Or if hacking was as simple as just slapping the keys on the keyboard a few times? I want to exist in this world of fake websites. Read More >>
The best thing about Google Glass might be its ability to give anyone a perspective they never see anymore. Whether it's the intensity of playing hockey or uh, the weirdness of being someone else in the shower, it's like a less obtrusive GoPro camera seeing what people's eyes see. This might be the best perspective though: a toddler. Read More >>
You might think 30 seconds is pretty short. Your body doesn't though. In order to keep everything running, there's a lot of things going on in those 30 seconds. Like you'll make 72 million red blood cells! And shed 174,000 skin cells! And have 25 thoughts. The human body, what an amazing piece of machinery. [BuzzFeed Video] Read More >>
