An Amazing Treehouse

Architect, artist, magician, Robert Harvey Oshatz is all of that and so much more. He is the organic architect responsible for this magnificent home up in the canopy; the coolest house in the trees that you will likely ever see. The unique Wilkinson Residence graces the wooded landscape outside of Portland, Oregon. This treehouse would turn even the Swiss Family Robinson green with envy. More than likely you too will have a more than a twinge of desire to live in it.

Korea’s Got Talent

This is a motivational and inspiring story and performance.

Amazing Trial and Error

Keep doing it until you get it right!

Facebook Fail

People really should learn to use Facebook first!

Hire a Mermaid

Did you know you can “Hire a Mermaid” to swim with you and your friends! This unique service has some of the most accomplished swimmers in the world (holding their breathe obviously in shallow water) with fake fins. These beautiful women swim alongside your scuba party and certainly make for interesting photography! I’m especially impressed at the backwards swimming.

Scary Magic Roundabout

This has to be The MOST SCARY junction in the UK. The Magic Roundabout in Swindon, England, was constructed in 1972 and consists of five mini-roundabouts arranged in a circle. Its name comes from a popular children’s television series The Magic Roundabout.

Storm Freerunning

This is a most excellent video. Its starts off a little slow, but just sit back and watch the action from a third of the way in. Some of these moves are absolutely, incredible! Can this really be done?

Royal Wedding Facebook Fail

With a new Royal Wedding announced this week, this viral spoof is circulating fast!

Sneak preview of the forthcoming Harry Potter film (well it is a sneak preview at the time of writing this)

Picard goes to mcDonalds

Slightly funny trekkie going to McDonalds. Only in America. The funniest bit is the cameraman laughing.

Smoke gets in her eyes

Talk about getting  your own back! When Samuel Bratt died, he used his will simply to get even. His wife never ever allowed him to smoke his favorite cigars. When he died in 1960, the embittered Bratt returned the favor. He left her £330,000. To get it, however, she had to smoke five cigars a day.

Here comes Trouble

Some may refer to Leona Helmsley as the ‘Queen of Mean’, but I think her dog would disagree. Helmsley died at the age of 87 and her will was made public. In it, she provided quite nicely for her dog Trouble, creating a $12 million trust to ensure that the Maltese lives out the rest of her life in the luxury she is no doubt accustomed to. The trust will be overseen by her brother, Alvin Rosenthal, to whom she left $10 million. When Trouble’s days on Earth are over, she is to be buried next to her mistress in the $1.4 million mausoleum in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Westchester County, New York. Talk about a pampered pooch. She was less generous to her late son Jay Panzirer’s children, cutting Craig and Meegan Panzire out completely for “reasons which are known to them” and leaving a relatively paltry $5 million each to David and Walter Panzirer.

The billionaire’s grandchildren contested her will.

Bad, Bad Accidents

I urge discretion here. Some really BAD, footage of people . I dont know whats more disturbing the clips, or the fact human curiosity made me watch the entire thing twice.

MAG Game Trailer

A PS3 game with 256 players online at the SAME time! WOW…this is going to be like real war…not just against teams of 8 or so!

Evil Weed Trailer

Emily and her sister Danielle play host to friends at their parents country house in the Hamptons. The weekend is poised for success. Murph, Emilys boyfriend, has chosen this occasion to propose, their respective best friends seem to be hitting it off, and Danielles alienated boyfriend scores in the clutch by supplying the drugs. But when his bag of unicorn weed livens up the party, some of the group begin to suffer from a weird reaction. Inexplicable violence abruptly brings down their high. This October, a certain few friends are going to wish they hadnt inhaled.

Collapse

Americans generally like to hear good news. They like to believe that a new President will right old wrongs, that clean energy will replace dirty oil, and that fresh thinking will set the economy straight. American pundits tend to restrain their pessimism and to hope for the best. But is anyone prepared for the worst? Michael Ruppert is a different kind of American. A former Los Angeles police officer turned independent reporter, he predicted the current financial crisis in his self-published newsletter From the Wilderness at a time when most Wall Street and Washington analysts were still in denial. Smith has always had a feeling for outsiders in films like American Movie and American Job. In Collapse, Smith stylistically departs from his past films by interviewing Ruppert in a format that recalls the work of Errol Morris and Spalding Gray. Sitting in a room that looks like a bunker, Ruppert recounts his career as a radical thinker and spells out the crises he sees ahead. He draws upon the same news reports and data available to any Internet user, but he applies a unique interpretation. He is especially passionate over the issue of peak oil, the concern raised by scientists since the 1970s that the world will eventually run out of fossil fuel. While other experts debate this issue in measured tones, Ruppert doesnt hold back at sounding an alarm. He portrays a future that resembles apocalyptic science fiction. Listening to his rapid flow of opinions, the viewer is likely to question some of the rhetoric as paranoid or deluded; and to sway back and forth on what to make of the extremism. Smith lets viewers form their own judgments.

Towing Cars in Japan

These soldiers looked out their barracks window in Japan and see this guy chaining up a ford probe by the roof. What are they doing? Why, towing it away of course. Still need to get it on the lorry first. Now…if that was MY car….if there was ONE little scratch on it after that…..

Towing Device

This unique device is used in the US, to tow away cars parked in tight parallel parking. I cant help but wonder if theives got a hold of this, what would happen.
