The video below shows the christening of an National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration vessel called the “Reuben Lasker,” in Marinette, Wisc.

Video of a Texas high school student being asked to leave the class has gone viral but not because the incident was funny or violent but rather because it appears that the student may have given the teacher a valid lesson – or at least his personal opinion of public education and a teacher’s responsibility…
Is this a hoax or did the guy who hung the Christmas lights for the city of Brighton in the U.K. find a creative way to vent his frustrations with his job. In the video below, you’ll see that certain “hidden” pictures and word phrases become visible when the lights are viewed from a certain…
Gorillas are considered to be highly intelligent. People are considered to be highly intelligent too – at least most of them are.

Youtube user hacakability has uploaded more amazing video, this time several segments showing in extreme slow motion, the falling and deformation action of water balloons. Very interesting and to be honest, quite beautiful.

But if the board is placed on two rollers, so that the movement of the metronomes can be transferred through the moveable board, each metronome’s movement will affect the movement of the other…

The body, gears, and framework are made of paper, glued together for stability, and uses rubber bands for power. It features articulating ankles and piston-like legs that allow the robot to walk.
