Seen here after things took a turn for the worse (worst?), NASA's new Morpheus Lander ends its life on a test launchpad. Things start off smooth enough (it goes up), but then it falls on its side and catches fire. Worthwhile explosion at 1:52 and 2:12. Some more info so you ... / 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 →

Everybody have a good holiday weekend? I hope so. I'm gonna be honest -- I half missed you yesterday. It was the masochistic half. This is a video from the BBC of a story discussing Syria and the United Nations Security Council, but they accidentally use the logo for the Un... / Continue →

Note: Video of the ankle-twisting action is after the jump. Seen here before the swelling makes his leg look like a marshmallow, dance competition contestant Daniel managed to break a leg while performing the undead male dance at Blizzcon 2010. Dammit Daniel, you'll never mak... / Continue →

As young Ryan here has hopefully learned, the way something sounds when spoken aloud (or in your head) doesn't always translate smoothly to the written word. That, or he was actually banging a dude in the hot tub. Which: BT, DT, not accepting premixed drinks from those Jersey... / Continue →

Robots, uncaring how they destroy humanity just as long as they do, have resorted to sabotage in an attempt to pollute the world's oceans and kill off all our mermaids. Not Ariel! Earlier this morning, an undersea robot accidentally bumped into a venting system, which forced ... / Continue →

Rest easy, Gulf of Mexico, James Cameron is on the job. Wait, what?! Federal officials are hoping film director James Cameron can help them come up with ideas on how to stop the disastrous oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The "Avatar" and "Titanic" director was among a grou... / Continue →

Some Google Streetviewer appears to have left a pair of pliers on top of his camera while out mapping. Oops! Hey it's okay, mapper, just be thankful it wasn't a dildo. God I wish it'd been a dildo. Google Maps Thanks to Fan_Thomas, who once left a chainsaw on the roof of h... / Continue →
