CAUTION: There is so much action packed into this video (called "The TV Show") directed by Sugimoto Kousuke, you might need a seatbelt just to watch it. Strap in.
If you like that, you might also enjoy Kousule's Full Moon Party, which compresses thousands of years of ape civilization into a guitar-propelled barnburner.

Go out and amaze your drinking buddies, maybe even win a few bar bets with these balancing tricks.
This Diet Pepsi is part of a balanced breakfast.
Although it looks impossible, that 2-liter soda bottle is balancing without any hidden support other than that acrylic board with a hole just big enough to accept the neck of the bottle. Neat center-of-gravity physics that looks like magic.
How to balance 10 nails off the head of a single nail. Ingenious.

A final countdown of that cheesiest of 80's power anthems, Europe's 1986 mega-hit "The Final Countdown". All 16 (count 'em, 16!) versions, everything from a version done by a "manualist", aka one who forces air through this cupped hands to make musical sounds to some guy performing it on a homemade "kazookelele" (kazoo + ukelele). I'd say, "enjoy", but that may be asking a bit much. How 'bout, "good luck"?
Go to Google and don't enter anything into the search box. Click the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button and you will see how many seconds are left in 2009. (via TYWKIWDBI)

People all over Norway were freaking out December 9th because of a mysterious ginormous spiral of light in the evening sky. (via The Presurfer)
Update: It was caused by a failed Russian rocket launch. Interesting video explaining the cause of the spiral.
So, I guess that means my They Might Be Giants "Spiraling Shape" Theory is definitely not a contender. Ah well, it's still a good song and I recommend listening...
Mess up your brain with these hypnotic spirals and optical illusions.

A Japanese Halls lozenge commercial. Somehow I don't think subtitles would have cleared this up any. (via List of the Day)
Nice. Make sure your speakers are turned up.
Odd commercial with an anthropomorphic dog(-like demoncreature) for Calbee potato chips.

Epic Oreo Cookie
Oreos as artistic medium. Using 1,887 Oreos, Phil Hansen recreated the famous 1963 photograph of a Vietnamese Buddhist monk immolating himself in protest of the persecution of Buddhist monks by the South Vietnamese government.
Kind of a downer in a post about Oreo cookies, fer cryin' out loud, so you can go here for more history and the original photo. You can view more of his unusual work at PhilInTheCircle.com.

Not everyone can (or should) be a superhero. I can totally see Wolverine here walking around Comic Con '09 eating Sausage McGriddles that have been skewered on his claws.

WebUrbanist put together a list of 50 geektastic USB flash drives. The ones in the first picture below are called "flashbags", and they contain a micro air pump. The more data you store, the more air gets pumped into the drive, letting you see at a glance how "full" it is.
Uh huh.

Bank Notes: A collection of bank robbery notes culled over the years. Some are surprisingly polite or even apologetic. I like the second one here. It appears he is robbing the bank... for $100. (via Blame It On The Voices)
I have a gun in my bag.
Give me $5,000 please.
Thanks a bunch.
This is a bank robbery,
place 1 100.00 bill
on the counter

Just because Guinness snubbed your world record claim of Most Chicken Faces Drawn In One Minute (18) or your Most "The Big Lebowski" Catchphrases Recited In One Minute (23) doesn't mean that all that hard work and training were for nothing.
Oh, who am I kidding? Of course it was for nothing! Even so, The Universal Record Database wants to know about it! (via In4mador!)
From their About page:
The general guidlines are simple: every record in the database must be a) quantifiable, b) breakable and c) legal. If you want to set a record for, say, "Fastest Time Eating a Banana While Standing On The Great Wall of China and Wearing A Purple T-Shirt", go for it. Creativity is highly encouraged.
While not mandatory, achievements that positively impact mankind are encouraged. For example, think "Most Soda Cans Recycled in 24 Hours" instead of "Most Oil Spilled Into a Lake". Let's build a site we'll all feel good about.
WTF?
