Shaolin monks are famed for their fighting skills and unique talents. One thing you might not know about them though is their amazing ability to run across water. Seriously. It’s a special and ancient Chinese martial art stunt, known as ‘Shuishangpiao’. Recently, 33 year-old Shaolin monk Shi Liliang from Southern Shaolin Temple broke the world record for the discipline. He ran on the surface of a long row of one centimeter thick (that’s exactly 0.39 inch) plywood boards for 125 meters (or 410 feet). The physics-defying effort took place on the banks of a reservoir on the outskirts of Quanzhou, in the…
A conversation between a journalist and a self-aware robot known as Android Dick (named after the science fiction writer Philip K. Dick) took a turn for the unsettling recently during a televised interview. The reporter was asking a few interesting questions when the conversation turned to how robots and humans will co-exist in the future. Android Dick was then asked the following question: “Do you think that robots will take over the world?” His repsonse was chilling. Android Dick said, “Don’t worry, even if I evolve into terminator I will still be nice to you, I will keep you warm…

If there’s one new technology which has dominated 2015, it’s undeniably the drone. It seems as if they’re in the news almost every day now. In fact, it was only a short while ago that we reported on a story about a drone catching a man sleeping on a wind turbine! Crazy… Well, it’s time for another story. This time, the drones have been disassembled, though. And built into something quite incredible – a helicopter! Built by a British inventor, this personal chopper uses 54 drone rotor propellers and can whisk the helicopter more than fifteen feet in the air.…
If there’s one thing that almost all of us would love – aside from endless personal happiness and fulfillment – it’s to be filthy stinking rich. It may sound a little crass and, granted, money isn’t a driver for some people, but most of us would love to be comfortably wealthy. Whether it’s so you can cruise around St. Tropez in a supercar or just so you needn’t ever worry about finances again. But how do you do it? Well, there is a way but in order to explain it, we first need to tell you how not to become rich.…
In the search for the most visually stunning and jaw-dropping images, Russian photographer Anatoly Beloshchin will go, literally, to the ends of the Earth. He’s not afraid to jump off things, climb up things and – as we’re about to see, dive into things to get the pictures he needs. He’s been subjected the hottest heat of the desert and the freezing extremes of Antarctica. But in this newest photo set, he dove down beyond the sea… More than a hundred feet down under the surface of waters off the coast of Mexico, Anatoly found himself deep in the cenotes of the…
With 1.2 million people dying on roads across the world each year, something needs to be done to make motoring safer. While manufacturers and governments have work to do, motorists themselves ultimately have the last say on how safe they are behind the wheel. Let’s take texting. We all know that you don’t text and drive. It’s just unsafe. But what happens when you do? To find out, a driving test center in Brussels, Belgium, decided to test some learners. There to take their driving tests, they were told that there had been a new rule introduced. They had to…
Contact lenses have never been so popular. More than 30 million people worldwide use the little convex plastic discs to improve their vision. But the rules around wearing them are often ignored by users. They’re not just snippets of advice that the optician dishes out. The rules are important – don’t follow them and you can find yourself in serious trouble. Just ask Chad Groeschen. You should wash your hands before putting lenses in your eyes or taking them out. You need to clean them thoroughly with special solution. You shouldn’t shower while wearing them. And most of all? You…
