Just because older people are advancing in years, that doesn’t mean they’re boring or have nothing fun to say. In fact, the elderly are just like you and I, except they’ve been about longer. They just have more experience to draw on. The clip we’ve got for you here introduces the world to the hilarious sister duo of Great Grandma Shelly, who’s 101 years old, and her 96-year-old little sister, Deana. And what a pair they make! You might expect a couple of sisters that have been around for a century (give or take) to be sedate old dears that just…
You know the hip hop song ‘Low’ by Flo Rida and T-Pain, right? The one that goes: ‘Shawty had them apple bottom jeans (jeans) Boots with the fur (with the fur) The whole club was looking at her She hit the floor (she hit the floor) Next thing you know Shawty got low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low…’ You know it? You might remember it from that hilarious scene with Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder. It’s almost impossible to listen to it without moving at least a little bit, isn’t it? It’s got an infectious beat that you can’t…
In the video below, Chilean soldiers demonstrate spectacular speed, agility, endurance and teamwork as they take on an intense and testing obstacle course as part of the international military pentathlon. You’ll be hugely impressed by the two teams’ ability to face the challenge and the sheer pace that they rip through the course needs to be seen to be believed! It looks like a lot of fun, but there’s no way you’d get us to be able to complete the course. This punishing routine requires a particularly high level of fitness that us Average Joes just don’t possess… So let’s…

The card trick is the most classic area of magic. As such, it runs the risk of being a little plain and uninteresting.

Done right, with enough flair and wit and imagination, the humble pack of 52 can still amaze and surprise. You just need the right magician holding the cards. And Shin Lim might well be the best card tricksters out there at the moment. His appearance on magic show…
Brett McKay from the website The Art of Manliness is on a life-long quest to achieve true, old school manliness. He’s got the mustache for it, but he’s lacking a few other essentials. The number one focus of his manly journey recently? Authoritative whistling. You know, that hand-in-the-mouth-style whistling that you’d see Hollywood greats like John Wayne or Gary Cooper pull out with ease? Yeah. That. Well, after plenty of research, experimentation, frustration, trial and error, he’s managed it. And he’s keen to show you exactly how to do it for yourself. It’s surprisingly easy in technique, but you’ll need…
If you’re anything like us, you might have seen a few people about – mostly on social networks – sporting drawings and tattoos of an usual punctuation mark on their body… Usually found on the inside of the wrist, these little semi colons actually have a rather deep and powerful message. Just ask the founder of ‘The Semi-Colon Project, Wisconsin’s Amy Bluel… Amy’s life has been severely affected by mental health issues. Her father committed suicide and it impacted her and her family deeply. But Amy refused to become a victim and decided to do something to fight back and…
When you’re out and about and you notice a little cracked bird’s egg, it’s usually because the bird has hatched in the nest and the eggshell has fallen. Sometimes, sadly, it can be because a baby bird has fallen while still in there and died. But sometimes, just sometimes, the little bird can still be in there and alive. And that’s just what Susan Hickman found this time last year… A hatchling starling was inside and Susan was unable to return it to its nest as she couldn’t find it. So, she decided to incubate the little cutey and care…
Military homecomings can be some of the most touching videos on the internet, can’t they?

So you can imagine the relief and elation felt by mothers, fathers, wives, kids and siblings when their loved ones walk back through the door. And it’s siblings we’re dealing with here. A young lad is standing in a hallway at home, proudly wearing his ‘My Brother is a Marine’ t-shirt and talking to his dad. Dad’s filming him…
Australian businessman Steven Fisher is now a native in Singapore and he’s created an incredible home in his adoptive country. One that is guaranteed to make you go green with envy! His uber-modern pad is a sight to behold, with every room a stunner. But it’s what he – or should we say his architect – has done in the swimming pool, that’s really quite remarkable… A saltwater outdoor infinity pool that overlooks the ocean, it envelops the house almost like a moat. It’s amazing. But it doesn’t stop there. The truly stunning thing about Steven’s house? The ‘underwater media room’.…
