    Nintendo's response: While the PSP GO!'s drywall penetration is clearly superior vs the DSi's particle board penetration, we here at Nintendo are happy with the wallet penetration the entire DS line holds. #nintendodsshotthroughwall

    @AmphetamineCrown: I actually should have noticed the difference between a Nokia device and a Go!

    I've been smashed with both a particle board sheet and plywood.

    I am not impervious to both XD #nintendodsshotthroughwall

    New Office users will soon find that the video isn't the only thing from Microsoft that's viral.

    Roughly translated it says 'Think it. Plan it. Do it. With Microsoft Office Project 2007.' Make it possible with Office 2007. It is time for new heroes. Don't be afraid of big ideas.'

    I might have believed it if they had high powered water cannons to propel him at the velocity he would need to fly far enough to hit the pool. The buckets ruined it.

    The website shows it to be centered around the project of making that slide.

    In reply to Seriously Incredible Water Slide Jump: Please Be Real
    I'm gonna go with fake.
    Rather convenient the way the view of the guy (dummy) is blocked by the hillside right as he (it) comes into the ramp.
    While not impossible to hit the target, it would be very difficult to do repeatably with a floppy human that slides down a ramp as your projectile.
    Compared to the velocity and trajectory, the landing looks very fishy.

    I'm saying they have a cut frame while he is at the top of the slide, and replace him with a dummy. Stick him in the pool, do it a few times until they get the dummy to land in the pool, and then he pops out.

    @Hi, I'm God: possibly, but then how do you explain the cannon ball he pulls himself into right before landing?

    That jump could only be calculated specifically for that guy. If someone weighed a little to much or not enough they would not have landed into that pool. But holy crap I really hope that thing is real.
