This is a brief video from Japan's National Institute of Genetics of what's believed to be the world's first footage of a thought being formed. $10 says Hollywood tries to turn it into a movie. The thought existed in the brain of a zebrafish, and is basically "FOOD!". Haha, ... / Continue →

This is a worthwhile video of a Melbourne, Australia fireworks show viewed in reverse. No screepcap can really do it justice though, so I suggest you at least watch a little bit of it. A lot of the fireworks reminded me of those little shooting stars you see in your vision af... / Continue →

This is the official highlight reel of the downtown Dubai New Year's fireworks show. It's nuts. You see those firework balls at the bottom? Those are the height of fireworks you'd see at a regular show. But they shot a bunch off the sides of the Burj Khalifa (the world's ta... / Continue →

So apparently "technical errors" caused San Diego's 'Big Bay Boom' fireworks display last night to be set off in 15-seconds instead of over the course of 15-minutes. I'm not sure if somebody accidentally typed "15" into the seconds window instead of the minutes one on the cont... / Continue →

I dunno, I kind of like the fireworks "you should never turn your back on." Happy Fourth of July everyone. Not to brag about how patriotic I am or anything, but I went out and celebrated the 3rd of July as well. Today I'm going to a pool party to work on my tan (I'm whitish-... / Continue →

This is a video of Geekologie Reader Scott igniting a firecracker inside a balloon with a laser. Does the balloon pop? YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO WATCH TO FIND OUT. Ooooooooor just keep reading. Nope! Hit the jump for the I exploded a firecracker between my teeth one time true... / Continue →

This is a video of self proclaimed 'Captain Awesome' (real name Deck Swab Dipshit) attempting to deflect an artillery shell firework with a garbage can lid shield. He doesn't do a good job. On a scale from 1 to 10 of bad jobs he would be a sperm taste-tester. Hit the jump fo... / Continue →

OMGWTF4THOFJULYBBQ! These are a couple videos to get your Canada Day/4th of July holiday weekend kicked off right. The first couple are slow-motion videos of fireworks going off shot with a Phantom at 2,000 frames-per-second. The last one is a guy shooting off fireworks that... / Continue →

ZOMG. Apparently police officers in Tennessee, having trapped an armed fugitive in his mobile home after a high-speed chase, were reluctant to enter the domicile themselves, and instead opted to use a gas-grenade launching robot to smoke the perp out. Only thing is, it set th... / Continue →

I know it may look like a homemade Fruit by the Foot fort, but those are actually strings of firecrackers. 320,000 crackers to be precise. And this is a video of them being detonated as a memorial service to a deceased family member while neighbors drive by calling the police... / Continue →
