There are few things more relaxing than laying back in the warm comforting environment of a hot tub. But with the fixed nature of them and the huge amounts of chemicals and electricity required to run and maintain them (not to mention the costs involved), they’re not always the best bet. If only you could make them cheaper, more portable and more eco-friendly… Well, now you can! Taking everything you love about hot tubs, but moving them into the confines of the comfortable surroundings of the hammock, the Hydro Hammock is a luxury item that needs to be seen to…
Russian YouTube filmmakers ChebuRussiaTV decided to take on a massive issue that affects so many people – gay rights. Their home country is renowned for having some rather backwards ideas about homosexuality. You only need to remember the controversy surrounding LGBT issues in the last Winter Olympics in Sochi… To test if people in Russia really do still have problems with gay people, they decided to film themselves holding hands while walking through the country’s capital, Moscow. And the results are disappointing. To say the least. The level of abuse – both verbal and physical is actually pretty shocking. It’s not just…
The beach near the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Florida is pretty nice. It’s usually warm there, the water’s clear, the sand’s light and comfortable to lay back on… It’s almost perfect. But, being so close to an air base, it’s not without its distractions and downsides. Although it’s undeniably cool to kick back on the beach while watching an aerial display, the force kicked up by the Blue Angels is enough to shake up any beach! The beach really can’t handle the awesome power of the Angels as they demonstrating just how much grunt a US fighter jet really has.…
A Canadian news crew was interviewing an Ontario police officer about a fatal collision that had occurred nearby just as a road rage incident kicked off right behind them. CBC reporter Neil Herland was chatting to Constable Graham Williamson about the accident on Black Creek Drive in Toronto on an overpass near where the crash happened when shouting interrupted the interview… “There’s a road rage incident, just right there,” Herland can be heard telling the officer, who then decides to intervene by shouting at the two warring men. “Hey! Get back in the car,” Williamson shouts. “Both of you, grow up!” They sure do things differently in Canada. Just imagine…
A team of researchers working just off the shores of The Solomon Islands, just east of Papua New Guinea in the Pacific Ocean have made an INCREDIBLE discovery. They found a group of sharks living inside an active volcano! The sleeper sharks are native to Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, as well as Tasmania and Antarctica and are hardy creatures, but until now, no one thought they’d be able to adapt to living in extreme conditions to this degree. “We were freaking out,” Researcher and University of Rhode Island Ph.D student Brennan Phillips told The National Geographic. At first, it just looked like…
Damien Walters is a British stuntman, gymnast, parkour practitioner and all-round crazy man. He’s got a huge following online, particularly on YouTube. And it’s not hard to see why – the man’s phenomenally talented. There doesn’t seem to be much that he’s unwilling to try out. And most of the time? He succeeds. But his latest feat almost beggars belief. If we told you that a man was going to jump off a swing (remember how you used to as a kid?) and over A HOUSE, you’d never believe us, would you? And we wouldn’t blame you. But that’s just…
Muntathar Altaii’s life became a struggle and then almost unbearable after an accident saw him do some pretty bad damage to his back. Pulling out a tree, he did something that left him bed-bound and constantly medicated to relieve the pain. He says that at his weakest, his thoughts turned to suicide. He was in dire need of help to treat his new hunchback. But everywhere he turned, the doctors and practitioners were too hesitant to really touch him for fear of worsening the problem, The only people who would step up to meet the challenge were Gonstead Chiropractic in Australia.…
Summer’s well and truly upon us and there are very few pleasures in life more enjoyable that kicking back in a swimming pool in the heat and slurping on a nice refreshing beverage. But not all of us have the budget or space for a proper swimming pool. And inflatable ones only last a short while, don’t they? If only there was an alternative… Well, what do you know?! There is! We’ve got a great photo set from a cleverclogs who’s made their very own DIY pool using some old discarded wooden pallets. Just nine of them, in fact. This is pretty…
You see quite a lot of high quality HD videos shot by amateurs on the internet these days. Mostly this rise in homemade clips in brilliant resolution is down to new cameras like the ones you get from GoPro. Extreme sports types affix their portable GoPros to their helmets and go skiing or skateboarding or whatever and record their view. But every now and again, someone catches something quite fantastic on video. Just like this guy did. While out surfing in Manhattan Beach in California like he does a lot, Michael Davids saw a Great White Shark in the water. But…
If you follow magic then you’ll know that little n’ large duo Penn & Teller are heavyweights in the conjuring world. Even if you’re not hugely into illusion, you’ll probably recognize them from one of their many TV appearances. One of the shows you’ll see them on is called ‘Penn & Teller: Fool Us’. The name of the game is to trick the tricksters. Magicians, both professional and amateur, perform a trick in front of the two Vegas showmen and try to pull the wool over their eyes. Penn & Teller are scholars of magic, though. They know (nearly) every…
