Some of us still can remember films like Blade Runner or other
futuristic movies that show displays larger than houses or such

TV models are also extremely slim today. But…

If you see 20m tall trees vanishing then you make yourself think about
what made them vanish. In this video, some boaters are just filming a
tree group sinking into a giant sinkhole in Assumption Perish, Louisiana.
The sinkhole is the result of a hidden gas and oil reservoir below the lake.

This is indeed a spectacular fail during a sports event. A basketball player
celebrates his slam dunk in a rather unusual way and wanted to impress
the spectators. The basketball hoop however thought itself: “I must teach
this guy a lesson on how not to treat me!” – The result: Pain and damage!

Ever thought of a restaurant where you sit on a toilet bowl? Or even eat
out of one? In Los Angeles, a new eatery has opened with toilets as theme.
The result looks quite disturbing yet funny, however it may not hit
everyone’s taste. Interesting to see that such weird ideas still come true.

Some people think, a railway gate that is down, still invites for trespassing.
Tough luck when the nearing train is so near that you get hit by it. But the

woman tried to outrun the police for unknown reason.

A question, many people would answer with: “Loud enough” or “loud as a
pneumatic drill”. While the first expression cannot be clearly defined, the
second one is defined with 90 to 100 db (quite loud). But these days,
the fans of the Kansas Chiefs have set a new world record in crowdyelling.

Otherwise you might find yourself also confronted with a gun. This hap-
pened in Brasil where a younster with a (fake?) gun forced a biker to
dismount his vehicle. The driver’s helmet camera took the whole thing.
Some racing, the hit’n’Run and the car driver who “helped” the driver.

So Apple finally revealed what most of us have expected. The 5S once
more underlines the minimalistic, yet appealing way of style. While

This guy seems to have had one (two, three… many!) too much and then tried
to impress someone who was actually filming this. The result is funny and
somehow I think for myself: Gee! I hope I wasn’t trying this myself while

This guy caught the idea of filming an ICE3 (Deutsche Bahn) passing by at
300 km/h (186 mph), According to his shout-out I guess the wind wave that
hit him was somewhat strong! But despite the fact of a heavy wind striking
you I guess it’s really dangerous! Do not try this for yourself!

If the numbers wouldn’t tell that it is a real surveillance video, one could
think of a Bud Spencer movie. A robber and his friend are stopping outside
a little convenience store in Brasil to rob it. But the robber didn’t seem
to be very successful at the end. The video is really self-explaining.

When big LED signs with “Stop” on it aren’t enough, then you have to
take a step further to warn drivers when they’re acting wrong and are

Arm wrestling can be hard and extremely power-draining. When
men do arm wrestling, all goes quick and dirty (mostly). But when
two women are arm wrestling, well… it can get loud and funny.
I bet some of us ask theirselves now: What are they thinking…

When it comes to SciFi and good thrillers, one can catch my attention fast.
In this case, a good friend of mine has pulled my attention showing me a
trailer about a little device with only one button. But pushing this button

I really hate ads. Mostly they interrupt your favourite show, they distract you
from the actual story of a film and they’re annoyingly often put in between.
But when you have some time to spare and find such ads by accident or via
other websites, they can become cool.

…or: Why for heaven’s sake spend 2’300 CHF on a coffee machine? Well… let’s
start with the story of ugly-tasting coffee and what I’ve tried so far. At work we
have a Schaerer coffee machine that makes good coffee, real good coffee! But
for home use, this machine is a tad too big and too expensive (7’250 CHF).

Or… The Batter has a talent to hit balls the way it wasn’t supposed to be!
At least this older man had luck while filming a baseball game not to be

wrong what one could do wrong and the result is predictible.

Dominoes with millions of stones are already very impressing. But what
about 10.000 iPhones faling so timed with video animation that it would
make a competely animated domino image. Although it is said that spe-
cially modified iPhone 5 with NFC, it’s hard to tell, if this is real.

What sounds like a bad joke or a nerd watching too much SciFi series, is
the hard truth. A guided laser system (LaWS as the US Navy calls it) is able

I really wonder if pain is so alluring that some people switch off their brain
and do silly things, a normal person would never think of, no matter how
spectacular it would be. This guy however is one of those who seem to
