Ding ding ding! And we have another Darwin Award nominee in this video. The guy takes a stick (or sledge hammer) and hits a can of WD40. It explodes in his face. The question what did he think was going to happen when he hit it? You know those warning labels on the outside? Yeah.

Guy in this video sits in a car seat which is welded to a robotic arm. The arm swings him around and I assume it is controlled by a human operator verses a recorded or random sequence of movements. Even so a couple times he almost hits his head on the ground for a Darwin Award.

A guy in India can pass an electric current through his body and he doesn't feel a thing (or so he claims). In the video he puts a live wire to his tongue and another wire to a fan and the fan starts up and works. At the end of the video he holds a lightbulb and an electric skillet. The flips the switch, the lightbulb turns on, and an egg is fried on the skillet. He states that some people accused him of having some kind of implants in his hands that allowed him to do it but they tested them and there was nothing. the guy is an electrician of all things. He does seem to have a little bit of a spasm when the current first hits but he controls it. Or the whole video is a fake.

Here's a mashup of Street Fighter and Duck Hunter in this video created in Mugen. Apparently Mugen is a build your own Street Fighter clone engine. This guy must have imported the Street Fighter character and moves and put it against the background of duck hunt. It seems like it is actually playable (in that he actually hits the ducks programmably instead of being scripted to the background movie). Mugen has a training mode which this is probably part of. It looks like there are over two hundred different characters you can import and play with in Mugen from a quick web search on the topic.

In this video there are five pool tables setup with a bunch of dominos on each table. The guy on the left starts the domino fall off by shooting a pool ball which hits another pool ball and finally the dominos. The dominos snake all over the table and while they fall they also send different pool balls falling into their pockets. Then it gets to the good part when the dominos fall towards the edge an a set of pool ques that go from the first table to the second table. A ball hit by the last domino rolls between the two tables and starts the dominos on the second table. Repeat for for 5 tables full of dominos total. Amazing.

So the guy in this video took the idea of a hamster wheel, sized it up, added a reward system, and put his cat in it. The video is of his cat running in the cat wheel and every once in awhile after the wheel goes around enough a piece of food�is released and falls down a tube and into the cat wheel. It didn't seem like the cat was stopping to eat the food though so I'm not sure what the cat's reason for running in the cat wheel is. Perhaps the cat treat or whatever it is doesn't fall out very often. Additionally there is a stick which hits top of the wheel and creates a tap tap sound as the wheel goes around.

In this video the green car runs a red light (according to the caption) and hits a motorbike. The guy on the motorbike rolls onto the car windshield and hits his head on the glass (you can see the cracks where he hit it) before coming back down on his bike with his shoulder and finally falling to his feet on the pavement. From here he starts walking around yelling and throwing up his hands. It's pretty amazing that he is able to walk around after being hit like that. He walks off camera for a moment and stands on the center divider (so he doesn't get hit again) before walking back and picking up his backpack out of the street. The lady in the car gets out and watchs talks to the guy from near her car.

In this video they have a katana setup in a vice and a k9mm pistol setup in a gun vice device with the 9mm pointed at the blade of the katana. The blade is edge on to oncoming the bullet. The guy presses a lever on the gun vice which pulls the trigger on the 9mm (I assume this is so that they have it exactly correct to hit the edge of the katana). The bullet hits the edge of the katana and splits in half; hitting the target behind the katana in two pieces. They show a closeup of the katana blade after the bullet hits it and as far as I can tell there is metal from the bullet stuck to the blade. I don't think the blade was damaged by the bullet.

Here is a Japanese computer animation simulation video of a meteor striking Earth and what it would look like and cause planetwide. The commentary is in Japanese so good luck with that. One thing I did notice is that they used a spherical meteor whereas other such 'Earth being hit by an asteroid' video the asteroid is never round. In the video the meteor strikes and causes a large amount of material to be ejected up into the atmosphere. Some of the things in the video seem a bit suspect like the fact that there isn't much (if any) burn up by the atmosphere on the meteor. The only explanation I came up for this was that the meteor was so big (much larger than 300 miles wide) that the atmosphere wouldn't effect it much. Second it seemed like the whole ejection area hundreds of miles above where the meteor hit was filled up with lava which didn't seem plausable. Is it just a bad particle effect or? Lastly, the buildings left standing (like the Greek pillars) seemed like they should have been blown away and were only left for effect in the video.

So in this episode of "Ask A Ninja" the guy gets a question which is something like "Can midgets be ninjas?" to which he comes up with the new term "minjas" for minature ninjas. He says that minjas can hide inside a five stick pack of gum, they can punch you in the chest and explode a single capulary, and attack in swarms like Ewoks. The best one though is when he tells of how minjas can throw a shuriken and then jump on top of it and ride it until it hits you. Once there then they can punch you in the face. Classic.
