Now this is how you mess with people’s minds! In this mind-boggling dance video shot at the University of Kazakhstan, eight students wear two tone outfits, link arms and perform a dance to a song called ‘Tanz’ by the German band Hiss for their fellow students. Dance can often be frenetic and confusing to follow to the untrained eye. This dance is in no way frenetic, but it is incredibly confusing as your eyes try to work out where one girl ends and another one begins. No wonder this fun new video has been blowing people’s minds all over the…

Who doesn’t love a take-out? Well, the customers of the Asian Garden in Littleton, New Hampshire might want to think twice about ordering one after watching this shocking video. It’s footage shot by a professional cleaning company who had previously cleaned the place up just three months before, and what they discovered when they returned for another visit is unbelievable. Nothing has been cleaned, everything is caked in grease, there are molding bits of meat and vegetables everywhere, sauces are left open to the elements, raw meat is left out in the open and also left to drip juices on…

Our eyes are amazing structures. Taking in information from a 220° field of vision, they are at their best when focusing on about 10% of what is directly in front of us. This is the optimum field at which our eyes focus perfectly. Outside of this range is what science calls our ‘peripheral vision’, and this is where things get complicated. The best cones and rods in our eyeballs are clustered in the 10% optimum focal area, outside of that in the peripheral field, the brain receives less information, and must therefore interpret what we are seeing by, well, basically…

There are some truly magnificent animals out there. From the towering majesty of the African Elephant, to the sleek patterned beauty of the Sumatran Tiger, nature has gifted the world a whole cornucopia of stunning wildlife that enhances our world and makes it a much more interesting place to live than it would be if these creatures were not around. Of course, not everything in nature is so easy on the eye. Quite a lot of insects aren’t exactly loveable, and some of the things that live in the sea don’t bear thinking about. However, there are also some animals…

As the digital age progresses, we often wonder where on earth technology will take us next. At one time, we couldn’t see how a desktop computer could be improved upon, but in the space of thirty years we have gone from clunky, unwieldy towers, monitors and keyboards to sleek tablets and smartphones. Nobody saw those coming, and yet today they are in everyday use, and many of us hardly ever stop to think just how amazing the things we hold in our hands and use in our homes actually are. Technology has proved especially useful when it comes to how…

Meet Donald Gould. He’s a homeless man from Florida. Donald used to be a US Marine before life took a turn for the worst and he ended up homeless on the streets. As well as serving his country, the 51 year old veteran took the time to learn and become something of a wizard on the piano. In this heartwarming video, Donald sits at one of the street pianos in his home town and amazes passersby with his musical talents. He plays Styx’s ‘Come Sail Away’, and he absolutely nails it. The woman watching him is amazed. “It is my…

A photo has emerged of the last moments of a devoted elderly couple who spent seventy five years of married life together. Ninety six year old Jeanette Toczko and her husband Alexander, both from San Diego, California, passed away just hours apart as they held each other in bed. They first met and fell in love when they were both eight years old, and remained together through all of life’s ups and downs. Both were in good health, but when the ninety five year old Alexander fell and broke his hip, he became bed bound and his health rapidly deteriorated.…

This is professional base jumper and daredevil Uli Emanuele, and in this eye-watering video he’s making an attempt to fly through a two meter-wide hole in a rock formation in Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland. Uri discovered the hole three years ago, and set out training to fulfill his ambition to fly through it wearing a wingsuit. In the video, Uri hikes up to the hole to measure it, showing us it is two meters wide. Then he jumps from the mountain and attempts to fly through it, but narrowly misses his target. That doesn’t stop him, of course. Nothing stands in the…

This is little Romeo Hadley from Cardiff in Wales. When he visited his local branch of IKEA with his mom Katie, he began complaining that his legs ached and ‘wouldn’t work’. His concerned mom took a look at the three year old’s legs and saw that they were starting to turn a dark shade of purple. Katie feared that little Romeo had contracted meningitis, an extremely dangerous spinal and brain inflammation that claims the lives of countless young children every year. Katie and her husband rushed Romeo (pictured below) to their nearest hospital as his condition got worse. The doctors…

With house prices in some parts of the world rising and rising, people are having to come up with ever more inventive ways to find a place to call home. Some people have taken to the water in house boats, others have converted outhouses, barns, shipping containers and even buses! One such couple who decided to avoid the housing bubble are Adam Croft and Nikki Pepperell (pictured below). With the average price of a UK home now nearing a staggering $300,000, there was no way this young couple was ever going to get their foot on the housing ladder. But…
