video and reconsider. Because truckers aren’t as helples as you may think,
even if they have a tire flat broke. These guys from Russia scented a potential

Time for some new junk (a.k.a. funny videos) for those who survived the
apocalypse. Sorry for being so sarcastic anyways but there were so many
people hyping about world’s end where there was no need at all. And what
happened lately: Right! N-O-T-H-I-N-G!

So X-mas is around and the weather is freaking out. The actual temperatures
don’t allow any imagination of a white christmas. While there were 30 centi-
metres of snow laying just two weeks ago, all the snow has now gone and the

a Boeing 737 the first time in Antarctica. The special weather conditions and

It seems as if the USA will never come to peace when it comes to
killing frenzies. In Newtown, Connecticut, a mid-twenty years aged spree

Water can be extremely rough when you’re on it with something fast. Even the
tiniest waves can shake you around like hell. So when you’re on a fast-paced
nutshell you’d better do what? Correct: Either slow down the nutshell even if
it’s uncool or use smaller turns (if possible). Wrong: driving like this guy.

When pets do silly things, it’s mpstly cute. This cat’s owner noticed that his
feline friend got a taste for turntables. Funny that the turntable was just
playing a vinyl what probably dragged the cat’s attention to the turntable.

even common events from our everyday life are said to be better.

If you have cats that are very active and even wasting areas they’re not
allowed to, then this video may give you an idea how to teach them a lesson

falling in value. Noting at 538 US$ at the moment of this article being written,
