This Is What Happens When You Mix Floods and Railroads

Mayhem, that’s what will always happen if you build a railroad or any other structure in the middle of a water stream without the proper support. This video, taken in Stackpool, Ontario, it’s a good demonstration of that simple principle. The only reason I support engineers making stupid mistakes like this is because they are…

This Is the Delicious Breakfast That Shuttle Astronauts Had Today

Two grilled lobster tails, one baked potato, butter and sour cream.

One more reason to become an astronaut: You get to order whatever awesome breakfast you want on launch day.…

Osama Had a Large Stash of Digital Porn Movies at Home

According to US officials speaking on condition of anonymity, Osama bin Laden had a “fairly extensive” stash of “modern” high quality porn at his hideout in Abbottabad. But, if he didn’t have Internet, how did it get there? Most probably, one of Osama’s cronies sneaked the porn material into the house just like they sneaked…

Never Has a Comet Died So Spectacularly

Once in a while, a comet hits the Sun and our star goes all nomnomnom on it.

Some men—and women too—dislike condoms so much that they can’t fully enjoy sex because rubbers affect them psychologically and physically. This may change soon with a new condom designed to maintain long-lasting, stronger erections. Why? According to Dr. Debby Herbenick—associate director of the Center for Sexual Health Promotion at Indiana University, one of the lead…

This Is the Scariest Flight I’ve Ever Seen

That airplane shaking uncontrollably in the sky is not CGI or a model airplane. It’s a real Tupolev Tu-154, a three-engine jet designed in the Soviet Union during the mid-sixties. If you are scared of flying, don’t watch this video. Apparently, the airplane’s control surfaces went completely bonkers right after taking off from Chkalovsky airfield,…
