Those South African weirdoes are back with a typically strange video that will probably haunt your dreams and have you waking for the rest of your life – cold and frightened, in the middle of the night – And there’s a lot of swearing in it too, but that can only be a good thing. right?. Anyway, i think you’ll find it freaky and I think you’ll like it a lot.

From Sir Arthur C. Clarke to Terry Pratchett and Theodore Dalrymple (whoever the hell he is), some eggheads muse over God and what it all means and whether faith and reason can live together in unity. Or if whether believing in an unproven omnipotent being means you’re revolting against reason and morals and you worship death. God knows who’s closest to the true understanding of it all?

Here it is, the first fail compilation of the year and, as is fitting, it starts with some fireworks going wrong. Then it’s the usual bunch of addictive viewing as people headbutt walls, do the classic skateboard trick: the nustshot, and generally make a mockery of us all. If you thought had a bad January, at least you didn’t feature in this. Roll on February.

Experiments performed with a team of nano quadrotors at the GRASP Lab, University of Pennsylvania. If Cyberdyne Systems is going to appear anywhere, my money is on Pennsylvania. These cheeky little bots have been taught to fly in various formations and switch between those formations in three dimensions. It’s just a matter of time before they turn on their creators…

-EDIT-

HOLY HELL. Formations were just the beginning…

Meet Ed Sheeran, he’s ginger but do let that put you off. Here he is, trying to get over his ex-girlfriend and forgetting the pain by getting drunk with a cat and let this be a lesson to cat owners everywhere: never let your cat get drunk because they are a mean drunk. A few brews and they’ll be full of rage lashing out at random strangers in a bar, getting you thrown out for being a twat and then they’ll bring models back to your flat so you can fool around with them, even though you’re ginger. True story.

Get your freak on with these funksome dance moves from a bald guy in flares and a turquoise roll neck. That’s right, he may look like someone’s weird neighbour in a 1970s suburbia sitcom but that doesn’t stop him from opening up a can of badass as he busts some shapes all up in yo face yo.

Here’s Liam Neeson on The Graham Norton Show, doing that seriously scary quote from his film “Taken” which he’s quite partial to leaving on people’s answering machines. But better than that, a fan of his asks him to record it as a voicemail greeting and being a decent chap, he obliges. Which just goes to show, not all celebs are assholes.

A British study billed as “the most comprehensive ever conducted on gender driving differences” has concluded that women are better at parking cars than men. The study, which relied on surveillence camera footage of over 2,500 drivers across 700 parking garages, was devised by professional driving instructor Neil Beeson, and produced by car park firm NCP.

Among its findings: Women are better than men at tracking down spaces, lining up with the parking space, and reversing into spots “by the book.” Meanwhile, men are better at entering spaces while driving forward, and exhibit more confidence than their female counterparts, leading to quicker parking decisions.

“The results also appear to dispel the myth that men have better spatial awareness than women,” said Beeson. “It shows that us men need to give our partners more respect when it comes to parking. The facts don’t lie.”

The study is one of the most comprehensive ever conducted on gender driving differences, and took into account seven key components of parking styles.

Women were also found to be better at finding spaces, more accurate in lining themselves up before starting each manoeuvre, and more likely to adopt instructors’ preferred method of reversing into bays.

Men were shown to be more skilled at driving forwards into spaces and more confident overall, with fewer opting to reposition their car once in a bay.

But once all the elements were taken into account, women were ranked first with a total score of 13.4 out of 20, compared to 12.3 points achieved by men.

Each aspect of a person’s parking was marked and added to a final tally to produce a “parking coefficient” for the two sexes.

The first category analysed people’s ability to find spaces. Researchers found that impatience caused many men to drive too quickly around car parks, meaning they missed free bays. Meanwhile, women’s slower approach meant they were better able to notice spaces, or spot when other drivers were about to leave.

More than three quarters of women were found to excel in their so-called “pre-parking pose”, setting themselves up to pull into a space, compared to just over half of men observed.

Thirty-nine per cent of female drivers cleanly executed reversing into spaces, compared to only 28 per cent of men.

Men were much quicker at parking, taking 16 seconds on average against the 21 seconds women needed to complete the manoeuvre.

However, the extra time paid off leaving 52 per cent of women parked in the middle of each bay, compared to 25 per cent of men. This category proved particularly punishing for the men’s rating as it was the most heavily weighted in the coefficient.

But James May, the Top Gear presenter, last night challenged the criteria of the study, saying that parking in the centre of a bay was not always the best policy – especially if a neighbouring car was parked too close to the dividing lines.

“You have to take into consideration the cars parked next to you – you ought to be judged on how central you are to them,” he told The Daily Telegraph.

“I don’t care what gender the person is next to me, I just don’t want them to bang their door on my Porsche.”

Vicki Butler-Henderson, the racing driver and television presenter, said: “Parking in a space is obviously different to reverse parallel parking, but I’m delighted that the fairer sex has come out on top – the findings ring true from my experience.

“Women do take more time, but I know a lot of male racing drivers who win races and are incredible round a track but can’t park for toffee.”

From the figures, the study concluded that, as the average motorist parks a car 1,004 times in their lifetime, women spend 12 days of their lives parking compared to nine days for men.

The findings contradict not only popular belief but also previous research. Figures from the Driving Standards Agency last year disclosed that tens of thousands more women fail their driving test on parking errors than men.

Researchers at the Ruhr University Bochum, in Germany also found that women take up to 20 seconds longer than men to park a car.

Only one fifth (18 per cent) of women questioned for the NCP study thought they were better parkers than men, and less than a third (28 per cent) believed they were better parkers than their partners.

Don’t flop is good advice no matter what activity you’re indulging in and definitely not in rap battles. And definitely not in a rap battle where a pupil takes on his teacher. But while you’d think the kid might be more down with it and pwn teach, he actually gets schooled as teach takes it down to the dirty level. And if all else fails there’s always the mum cuss. Hate to say it but this is pretty damn awesome. Watch & learn.

Is this the coolest dad in the history of dadhood? Not only is he spending quality time with his kids but they’re doing an awesome activity, laying down a cool Depeche Mode track which they get to perform on, rocking the keyboard and the recorder. And to top it all off and make us all feel really inadequate the resulting song is pretty frikkin’ fly. And it features some classic ‘white man overbite’ moments. Big. Up.
