    This is the old west time-traveling train from Back to the Future III recreated in LEGO by Back to the Future and LEGO fan Masashi. It's an electric set and works on LEGO train tracks, but is currently only a LEGO Cuuso project and will undoubtedly be denied manufacture by LEG... / Continue →

    February 4, 2011
    No Hogwarts for you! This is a short video of a 10-year old who falls on the train tracks while walking and gaming (not to be confused with walking-and-texting related incidents). He takes a pretty nasty spill, but thank God there was no electrified rail or train coming. PAY... / Continue →
  • Darwin, You Let Me Down Again: Idiot Moron Films Himself Getting Run Over By A Train
    January 25, 2011
    This is a video of some crazy Ruski (I can tell by the video quality and general disregard for life) who sets up a camera and then lies perfectly still between the train tracks while a locomotive (CHOO CHOO!) passes over him. Now I'm not saying dude doesn't have a lot to live ... / Continue →
  • Beautiful: Footage From High Speed Camera Aboard High Speed Train Replayed In Slo-Mo
    November 24, 2010
    This is a video created by Graeme Taylor aboard a high-speed train using a high-speed camera, replayed in slow motion (just like the title says!). The result is pretty spectacular. It's like Max Payne/Matrix "bullet-time". So watch it and enjoy. Then, get all comatose on tu... / Continue →
  • I Bet It's From The Future: Light Beam Table
    April 6, 2010
    The Light Beam coffee table may look like alien technology, and it probably is. That or it's from the future, one or the other. Or both. Did your mind just explode? Mine did. Hey this coffee tastes like brains. The Light Beam coffee table is packed with thousands of littl... / Continue →

  • Japan Firm Makes Custom Barcode Art
    November 11, 2009
    D-Barcode is a Japanese firm that will design your barcode to look cooler than the standard bunch of lines. These are some examples of their work. But it doesn't come cheap! And, despite what you may have read above the urinal, neither do I. It can be pretty pricey, though:... / Continue →
  • CHOO CHOO!: A Little Superconductor Train
    October 23, 2009
    This is some French guy making a little superconductor train out of a bunch of magnets and a cup of magic potion. I have no idea what's in the magic potion but that won't stop me from chugging a whole chalice in the hopes of floating. Plus, it even works upside down which is ... / Continue →
  • Voltromas The Transforming Tank Engine
    August 4, 2009
    I like trains, and not just because they go CHOO CHOO. I also like the hobos that jump on them! THAT'S ENOUGH FOR ME, OKAY? Anyway, this is a Thomas the Tank Engine/Voltron mashup toy available from Singapore for around $8. It is in no way shape or form licensed or legal. ... / Continue →
