I’m a simple gal. For fun I like to watch soccer, play some music, perhaps have a drink or two. If I’m feeling really crazy I might drive a little over the speed limit on the freeway. However, for some this is not enough. These people – adrenaline junkies, thrill seekers, call ’em what you will – get their kicks through being in danger. They hang off incredibly high cliffs, jump over houses and so on. Basically, their idea of fun is trying to cheat death. In this video, called simply People Are Awesome, we see a compilation of guys…
Automobile dents are a pain in the backside. Whether they’re from misjudged parking efforts, driving down graveled roads or losing control of your shopping trolley, they seem to be an unavoidable part of owning a car. They’re also incredibly expensive to fix. We have to take our vehicles to auto repair shops, who’ll charge us hundreds of dollars for a 30 second procedure. Most of us don’t even bother. Look at your average car and it’ll be covered in small dents. But now, a video has emerged that shows you how to repair small dents using just a hair-dryer and…
Westminster, London. Sky News’s Ashish Joshi is reporting live from outside of the grandiose Houses of Parliament. The Prime Minister, David Cameron, and his government, are seeking to reform the National Health Service (For our American readers: In the UK, medical care is free at the point of service. They don’t force poor people to pay for their healthcare.) Opposition MPs are against many of the reforms, which have been debated heavily in parliament. Ashish is on hand to describe to viewers what the latest developments are at the Palace of Westminster. But, wait? What on earth is going on…

After reporting that the fire had been started in a garage on Burwell Road at around 3:45 am -before spreading and damaging two houses – Lewis turns to speak to Heather Tenney, owner of the…
When you start to watch this video, you’re going to think that it’s footage from some hidden camera in a bathroom set up by a pervert. Or perhaps hacked from someone’s hard drive and then uploaded onto the internet. But keep watching, and pay attention to what’s happening in the background. It’s not what you think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-WYHIRCzYU America alone wastes 1 Trillion gallons of water every year. That’s nearly 3 billions gallons wasted every day. We take our abundant water supply for granted. We do not think about conserving water because for most people in this country, the idea of…
A brave little girl fighting brain cancer recently got a call from Frozen’s Princess Anna of Arendelle! Six year old Avery Huffman suffers from Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), an inoperable brain tumor that fewer than 10% of children survive. After hearing about Avery’s story, Kristen Bell – who provides the voice of Anna in the 2013 hit – decided to contact the little girl in character! Bell, as Anna, left a touching message on Avery’s father’s cell phone, telling her that she was “brave” and a “good girl” before adding that her sister – Queen Elsa – wanted to…
A Florida police officer has become an internet sensation after photographs of her eating lunch with a homeless man emerged.

She just seemed very, very comfortable. I got my phone out and started snapping pictures because I was so overjoyed by the interaction.” TiAnna Greene Greene…

The Easter Island statues, or Moai as they are know in their native Rapa Nui, constitute 887 separate structures spread across the length of the Polynesian island. The figures, which were carved some time between 1250 and 1500, are a feat of human skill and craftmanship. Now, I bet you think that these incredible structures are comprised of just the heads that you can see above ground. Well, you’re wrong. The heads are, in fact, attached to bodies, just as meticulously carved, that extend meters underground. The statues are scattered across Easter Island, or Rapa Nui, which is one of…
This is the Gordon Dam in Tasmania, an island off the coast of south Australia (y’know, where the devil comes from). It’s a whopping 415 ft in height. So what happens when you drop a basketball off the top of it? As you do. Well, it depends on how you drop it. If you drop it straight out of your hands then it will behave exactly how you’d expect it to. It will fall pretty much vertically. However, if you spin it just a little as you drop it, something incredible happens. It amazingly curves a long distance away from…
