Here is a pretty crazy photo of a lamb that was born in New Zealand. It was ranked as one of the top most emailed photos on Yahoo. Apparently the lamb was born with seven legs as you can see in the photo. It doesn't look like the lamb is even able to stand up as it has some many legs. There isn't any other information on the caption for the photo other than it's a one a in a few million occurance that a lamb is born like this. Are there any nuclear reactors in New Zealand? If so, this lamb might have been living down stream from one if you ask me.

If you ever wanted to cross the Batmobile with glitter, a pink flamingo, neon lights, and Disney this might just be the ticket for you. This site has a bunch of photos of extremely customized Japanese vans. This thumbnail here is only one example of how crazy they get customizing over in Japan. Click over and see the other insain van photos.

Here's a custom project where a guy made a hot air balloon shaped like Darth Vader's head. The article about it is somewhat light on details but it does say they sent a 3D object file to the hot air balloon manufacturers and then made custom modifications once they received the final balloon.

The guy in this video takes one for the team by having a water balloon thrown at his head. A video is then recorded at around 1000 frames per second of the water balloon hitting him and spraying everywhere.

Insain looking suit a French guy invented which contains 31 wheels. It allows you to rollerskate in any position you can think of. It shows the guy doing everything from riding down stairs, to rollerskating on all fours, to lugeing down a parking garage entrace. Urban combat of the future suit?

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.

Guy launchs a remote control aircraft from the back of his car, controls the RC plane with some VR glasses and remote, takes some aerial photos from the RC plane, and imports them into Google Earth for a good time in this video. Everything he's using seems like just off the shelf hardware that he's put togather himself.

Here's a video of a guerilla 'marketin'g tactic from Holland where they drive around with a projector in their vehicle projecting a skateboarder riding around on the top eve of buildings. It's a cool effect but didn't seem like it would be very effective. How long until we see Sonic running around NYC on buildings?

Here's a video of a Christmas light setup syncronized to music. Apparently the score is Trans-Siberian Orchestra's Christmas Eve Sarajevo and the lights do a pretty good job of accenting the music. Not all of the lights are set to the music as some of the front white lights on the left and right side of the setup are not syncronized. The real question is does this guy have that thing going on the entire time or he only setup the syncronization to record it. It probably drives the neighbors nuts if it repeats over and over like that the whole time for a month.

Check out the video of the syncronized light show below or click over and view it on the host site.

Here's a demonstration video of what can happen when a lithium ion battery explodes in a laptop. The video is a little slow so you'll probably want to click forward past some of it. In any event the first 'cell' in the battery explodes releasing some smoke and damaging the casing. The next cell explodes because of the heat from the first cell and blows a hole in the top of the cashing. Each cell explosion is progressively worse than the last one with the fifth or sixth cell explosion throwing out a pretty good size jet of flame.
