Because it's Friday and we all started drinking at lunch (we did all start drinking at lunch, right?), here's an Angry Birds wrecking ball spotted in the wild by Redditor bmorschwack. I don't know about you, but come Monday morning I'm gonna be praying I see that thing outside... / Continue →

In 'terrifying if you have to work in it after it's constructed' news, China is planning on building the world's tallest building in only three months. The 220-story skyscraper, named Sky City, is being built by the same company (Broad Sustaining Building) that built this 30-s... / Continue →

Please, no crane-ception jokes. This is a video from Germany of a heavy equipment manufacturer demonstrating their cranes' abilities to pick up other cranes. The tiniest one is just a model crane, but the biggest one is HUUUUGE. No clue what you'd use a crane that big to bui... / Continue →

This is a series of ceramic 'Transportation Plates' from designer Boguslaw Sliwinski. I dunno, they seem more like half transportation and half CONSTRUCTION plates to me, but what do I know? I know my name isn't Boguslaw, so I'm pretty confident I'm in the right here. As you... / Continue →

This is a video of a baker's dozen construction workers (give or take a creme-filled) trying to stop a spinning concrete buffer at a job site. They...aren't very good at it. The first guy tries dowsing the engine with a bucket of water which, SURPRISE!, doesn't do shit. Then... / Continue →

I think I just found my new ride to the liquor store! This is a short video of a guy showing off his sweet DIY motorized wheelbarrow. It...makes hauling concrete actually fun. Plus construction workers seem cool again. Kidding, KIDDING -- those guys were never NOT cool. B... / Continue →

So we've already heard about Intergalactic Suites, the space hotel that's supposed to open NEXT YEAR, but here comes another one. This time from Russia. With love? Probably not, but hopefully with escape pod. Called the CSS (Commercial Space Station) it will be built 217 ... / Continue →

Personally, I'm cool with a regular door provided the lock still works and the knob can hold a sock. But for some people that just isn't enough. Enter the 'Air-Powered Star Trek Door', a door that guarantees you'll never need to put a sock on the non-existent knob. Just kidd... / Continue →

The Sharker, despite its name, has no interest in pulling your top down and exposing your breasts in public. No, it's cool just being a monocoque motorbike and feeling the occasional butt on its supple leather seat. While most cars switched to monocoque construction (a techni... / Continue →

This is a short video of a guy doing a bunch of tricks with a tape measure. Admittedly, he's pretty good and with a little more practice he could probably be as good as me one day. When hell is a solid sheet of ice! And speaking of ice sheets: what an Eskimo has after trying... / Continue →
