SUPERHUMAN: Chinlone or the art of soccer without goalsA 1500 year old sport/dance hybrid from Myanmar, Southeast Asia, where there are no opposing teams or winners and the “goal” is to play the game most beautifully performing moves of amazing foot skills, as complicated as possible, for the longest time. [wiki] There is also a documentary. |
The scale of thingsWhere does size begin and end? Probably not where the smallest or biggest things we know. Two videos for you to think twice next time you “think big” |
Lords of logistics (i.e., phunny fotos)Drak Roasted Blend compiles series of great photos of all kinds with the common denominator of being stuff you probably haven’t seen ever before (and you probably won’t in person). Here are some examples of “inventions” and “design problem solving”: Lords of the Logistics, Part 3 (Necessity is the mother of invention)

SUPERHUMAN: Robot dance at its best everA japaneese group called u-min performing the best robotic moves the world has ever seen, along with genius slow motion action in real time. It won a post here at minute 2:15. |
Daily Show classics: Colbert as someone elseEl puto descojono (= bloody fucking hilarious). Stephen Colbert As Al Sharpton |
Daily Show classics: Even Stevphen on religionDaily episodes of Jon Stewart’s The Daily Show and Colbert Report are uploaded to Dailymotion.com, but let’s make sure you also watch the jewels from the past, especially the time when Stephen Colbert was on The Daily Show with Steve Carrell. |
IncomprehensibleWith the excuse of this spectacular multiphotograph of a solar eclipse [via Neatorama], I repost a thought on the phenomena from 2003 (below).
There’s something more fascinating in sun eclipses than the eclipse itself Sun eclipses occur because and only because the combination of the diameter of the moon, the diameter of the sun, and the distance between the sun and the moon and between the moon and us is perfect. If just one of these values were different, sun eclipses simply wouldn’t exist on Earth. It looks like it has been calculated to the milimeter by… coincidence? No comment. |
Not quite superhuman but damn: 3 guys playing 1 guitarOr the proof that it was an underrated instrument. I wonder if they can also blow into the sound hole for extra ambient tunes. [Via Neatorama] |
