Most people have heard that the American penny costs more to manufacture than itās worth, but Canada really has us beat. In 2007, the country unveiled an enormous, 220-pound gold coin with a face value of 1 million Canadian dollars and a metal value of around 5 million of the same (or about $3.8 million American).ā¦
Sorry, I donāt care if you caught a Squirkachu on Pokemon GTFO, because the only video game that will matter after today is Totally Accurate Battle Simulator. It pits hilariously brainless putty humanoids in red versus hilariously brainless putty humanoids in blue in the most ridiculous battle sequences.
To cap off their freshman year at the Naval Academy, hundreds of plebes try to scale the greased down Herndon Monument to replace the hat on top of the 21-foot tall obelisk. Itās a fun tradition that teaches teamwork and caps off a hard yearābut it looks oh so ridiculous to see so many shirtless human bodiesā¦
YES. If you donāt remember the crazy bananas movie that was Kung Fury, go and watch the trailer again. Youāll see a completely over the top preview that includes Kung Fu, dinosaurs, DeLoreans, time travel, killing Hitler, Vikings and more. It was glorious. Now the entire movie is online for free to watch on YouTube.
This is completely absurd but Nicolas Deveauxās 5 MĆØtres 80 is so fun that it doesnāt really matter. A group of giraffes raid a pool and start jumping off the high dive while doing tricks. Itās all CGI but the giraffes look so realistic that I canāt help but imagine the alternate reality that this is happeningā¦
Today, when you are thinking about how much it sucks to work on some boring project in your office's cubicle, look at this photo of this (sweating) man working while being watched by (an annoyed and tired) Kim Jong Un and rejoice that you are not him. Something bad is going to happen here, folks.
Is shaving the best way to remove hair? Mehdi Sadaghdar emphatically answers yes after performing stunts for this video. He hilariously tries crazy alternative hair removal methodsāburning it off and electrocuting it off, for exampleāand decides that shaving is so much easier than any other way.
I don't where people come up with the ideas to do these things sober but if you were ever wondering what the the Guinness World Record for world's longest golf club was, the answer is 14-feet 5-inches. Karsten Maas from Denmark used the club to drive the ball about 180 yards.
Wolf of Wall Street? Meh. American Hustle? Please. Anchorman 2? Tired. The Hobbit? I dare you. None of those movies in theaters right now compare to the epic awesomeness that is Kung Fury. Never heard of it? It's okay. Just watch the trailer. It combines all the cheesy glory of 80's cop movies with Kung Fu, killingā¦
Visions of the future from the past always serve as an endless source of comedy. Look how dumb we were! Look how silly those people look! Look! Look! It's completely true. Our imaginations of the future are rooted in the limits of today which typically makes it an awful thought exercise. So in a few years, we'll lookā¦
Amazon Prime Air's drones are plagued with practical problems that would make them inviable in urban environments for the foreseeable future. What about Amazon Rockets? They're only a bit more ludicrous.
It seems that nothing is wrong with this Boeing Dreamlifter, standing by at Jabara Airport, in Wichita, Kansas. Except that's not the airport this airplane was supposed to be and, worse, its runway may be too small for it to take off.
Here's Lady Gaga floating over a stage in a ridiculously cool and absurd flying dress made with fiberglass and six propellers. It's a world's firstājust like her steak dress. She calls it Volantis.
The Aviationist reports on a new Iranian drone exclusively designed to kill fixed or mobile targets in suicide missions. The name of this remotely controlled kamikaze is Ra'ad 85āaka Thunder.
The 5.7-inch Galaxy Note 3 is so stupidly huge that nobody can use it comfortably. However, to accommodate all the idiots who think that a bigger phone is better no matter how ridiculous it is, Samsung decided to include a normal-size phone mode that leaves the rest of the screen blank.
This new Mercedes BRABUS 850 iBusiness is the new four-wheel toy for the super rich with family or chauffeur. It has an engine more powerful than this dump truck, with (real) gold tubes that nobody but a mechanic would see. Inside it looks like a Gulfstream jet, so its owner never feels out of his or her element. Theā¦
It's intentionally obnoxious but this video goes through all the ridiculously dangerous ways a person can open a bottle of wine. I'm talking about chainsaws, guns, rockets, blow torches, swords and more. I think my personal favorite is cracking open a bottle with the torch. Followed closely by chainsaw. [ā¦
Business cards have become more of a hassle in a time when contact details can be shared electronically. But one company has chosen to ignore this obvious trend with a luxury card that tells people you're an arrogant ass.
Hospitals are already so ridiculously overpriced that I'm surprised I'm even surprised about this but according to a new father, a hospital in Boston quoted him $23,000 for a circumcision procedure for his son.
