This is a video from National Geographic of a lightning strike filmed at 11,000-frames/second so 1-second of real-time footage takes 3-minutes to watch. Impressive, but you know what would have been even cooler? If they filmed it so 1-second took FIVE YEARS to watch. I don't... / Continue →

This is the Lawson Blue Ridge Camping Hammock. It's a hammock and a tent COMBINED. It's perfect for when you *eying picture* want to read the bible before playing your funny little guitar on the beach? I have no clue. I do know I love hammocks though. I actually slept in on... / Continue →

This is a video of some 'photographer' in Costa Rica almost getting attacked by a crocodile. I put photographer in quotes because he's really just a jackass with a camera and a backful of tattoos I thought was a camo shirt at first. He squats by the water's edge taking pictur... / Continue →

This is a pair of deer antler bicycle handlebars designed by Taylor Simpson. Granted there's no brake attachment, but let's not kid ourselves, if you've got a pair of deer antler bicycle handlebars you're a hipster and riding a fixie anyways. That said, I just switched out my... / Continue →

This is a video of a group of tigers destroying snowmen. I heard afterwards they all made snow angels then retired inside by the fire to sip hot cocoa. I'm joking, I don't know what they did after that. Probably licked their privates or whatever the hell else cats do. Truth... / Continue →

Just like a Phoenix, but waaaaaay less badass. Hey -- you ever wanted to be a tree? Well now you can (provided you're dead) thanks to the $225 Spiritree, a biodegradable urn that feeds a tree planted in the middle WITH YOUR BURNT-ASS REMAINS. I can't wait to be a mighty oak!... / Continue →
