“This is a stupendous test shot of the LOSAT (Line of Sight Anti Tank missile). It’s being launched off a HUMVEE, which carries two loaded canisters on each side (4 missiles total). The commander/gunner can acquire and track three targets simultaneously, and engage one. Since the missile is hypervelocity (5000 feet per second), and has [...]

An amateur video shot by a couple of friends of mine one dreary sunday when they had nothing better to do. They got hold of a dodgy old military helicopter at the local Helicopters’R’Us 24/7, loaded up on drugs, and tried to fly it. Obviously neither of them had ever flown a helicopter before, and [...]

A CH-53 (AKA Jolly Green Giant) trying to inflight refuel. The basket keeps getting caught in the wash, the chopper pilot dips to meet it, and then realises the basket is gonna whip back up into the blades, and reflex makes him pull up way too sharp, and sends his nozzle into the blades. To [...]

A very short clip that could, in this ridiculous world we live in actually damage the future governor of california’s prospects. But first, many questions must be answered. Is it him? Is it weed? Did he inhale? Did he get high? Where was he (Amsterdam)? Did he rape Grandmothers and steal their money in a [...]

I want a Goped more than I want to breath. They rock. After having seen this clip I want one more than I want to live. Unfortunately I have absolutely no rationale for owning one other than to attempt to kill myself playing in busy traffic whilst drunk in the middle of the day. So [...]

“I was bored with work, so I cut out and went for a swim” is a pretty rock’n’roll attitude at the best of times, unless you’re a marine biologist, in which case it’s just geeky. But when you’re a jump jet pilot it’s just fuckin’ hard assed.

Table Tennis should be the ultimate geek sport. Basically it’s tennis but played with dweeby little rackets and a girly little ball on a doll’s tennis court. Somehow, however, it manages to be pretty cool, especially when played by Asians, who of course are generally amazing at it and turn it into some kind of [...]

If this guy was the goalie on your team you’d probably want to kill him. Taking unnecessary risks for the hell of it is funny if you’re an unsupervised child or blind old person. The possible outcomes of severe maiming or death are all art of life’s rich tapestry. However taking risks with the scoreline [...]

A really really really boring clip, unless for some reason you find guns cool. If this is the case you are probably some kind of testosterone fueled nutcase who also finds cars and motorbikes cool. And sports and beer and naked 25 year old Swedish models, and gadgets and loud music and hard drugs. Ah [...]

Steve from Austin, who sent me this clip also sent this explanation of what it is. Pretty damn cool:
Every so often, just the right combination of conditions and events occur to create an unbelievable event - in this case an F-14D passing through the sound barrier. Not only were the water vapor, density and temperature [...]

When the Dutch start fucking around with science the results can be scary, as anyone who has ever smoked hydroponically-grown Skunk buds in Amsterdam can testify. So the lab frog who they picked to be levitated by magnetic fields must have been frankly terrified of being dashed to death by malfunctioning magnets. However, quite apart [...]

Formula 1 cars are pretty cool. Sure, the sport itself is so fucking boring that only Germans can win it, but the cars themselves cost millions and go fucking fast and are de facto fucking cool. Except for one lame-assed thing: you can’t play music on them - which frankly sucks. Until now that is.

This is one pretty cool dog. Let’s assume that, like most mammals, it doesn’t understand the concept of g-force or zero gravity, and that it doesn’t really get what flying is all about. So next thing it knows its floating around in some tiny plane. How would you expect it to react? How would you [...]

Completely insane. This is a Mercedes at Le Mans, held at the Road Atlanta circuit in Braselton, Georgia (thanx Steve). The airflow at the front fucks up and the car just takes off and does a backflip. Apparently the guy survived. I wonder if he enjoys watching this.

A shocking, highly dangerous and subversive clip no doubt ‘leaked’ onto the web by terrorist operatives. It clearly demonstrates, in detailed step by step, how to construct a fully operational flamethrower from a child’s toy and some flammable substance widely available over the counter. Perhaps the most sinister aspect to the whole thing is the [...]

It’s Friday and there was going to be tits, but this came in and is too impressive not to post. News footage of a fire in a fireworks factory. No messing. This cameraman deserves some sort of award. Assuming he’s still alive. Warning: fucking huge file.

I’m to ill to write anything sensible. But this clip is extremely cool. A stick man Matrix-style martial arts bonanza.

A clip taken from a BBC TV show about a guy whose job it is to test drive Ferraris all day until they blow up. The english language cannot even begin to convey how jealous I am of that man, suffice to say, if I ever meet him I will abduct him and pull out [...]

Here is this thing called speedstacking. On paper it sounds geeky - kids stacking and unstacking paper cups as fast as possible. For sport. Surely a sport isn’t supposed to make you want to commit suicide at the very thought of it. OK - now watch this clip - and weirdly it looks pretty cool.

Sick and tired of Hollywood nicking all their best ideas and turning them into half-arsed American pap for people who can’t read subtitles, the French have decided to retaliate with a French version of Star Wars. Here is a short trailer for that movie. The story of the intrepid Lucien and his resistance fighters opposing [...]

A clip of a kid who can jump his bike and balance it on stuff. Pretty cool. There’s a whole bunch more at www.trialskings.com. Do they realise they’re spending hours honing their skills purely to get laid, or whether it’s a subconcious thing. Either way, I bet it works.

Most people would look at this clip and say awwww, how cute. On the face of it, a kitten dozing off is very sweet. But as with most cuteness, an awful reality lurks, barely concealed, beneath the surface. This kitten is on the nod. If you have no idea what that means, go down to [...]

A brilliant little movie by Don Hertzfeldt, evidently borne of bitter experience. Deeply cynical and very funny, anyone who has ever come within 6 feet of modern western woman will know exactly what he is on about. You have to hand it to modern women though: they may be uptight, hysterical, brittle, bitter, fickle, demanding, [...]

Hurting yourself does not need to be this complicated. Anyone who goes to these lengths in order to damage themselves is just a silly attention-seeker. If you want to hurt yourself and you still have your dignity in these media saturated times, just go down to Oxford Circus at rush hour and stick a rocket [...]

For some reason it is a very American thing to do to take highly unlikely vehicles and stick insane engines in them at huge cost for no reason. Strange that it hasn’t caught on in the rest of the world (except, rumour has it, Australia), since it is clearly a very big and very clever [...]

Some people would argue that the best place for all cats would be outer space. For a start, in outer space, no one can hear you screech annoyingly at 4 in the morning whilst on heat. Plus, if this is how stupid one cat looks in zero gravity, imagine how funny a few hundred thousand [...]

Toys like this are expensive and unnecessary, which only makes them even more desirable. They are also dangerous, polluting and only last seconds, which makes them even cooler. If you had one of these you would be the baddest of the bad baddasses on the block, no question. No one would fuck with you. Fuck [...]

Footage of a new prototype of really cool kind of wingless jet plane which can take off from a water surface. Check out the way it takes off, rises and rises, and crashes back down into the water. Oh wait, silly me - it’s not a jet plane , it’s a boat.

FUH KING SUH WEET MUH THUH OF CUH RICE ST. There are some crazy fuckers in this world, but this guy deserves a medal for being the most cringe inducing, fear fucking, deranged motherfucker around. Hugely impressive.

If you don’t like football then don’t bother. If you do like football, then no doubt you will be delighted by the classic sight of Giggsy beating the entire Arsenal squad and single handedly condemning them to 2 seasons out in the cold. Or better still Garrard’s genius!
