Three RC planes were shaped to look like human beings and they were flown to New York City. If you observe the planes from a close distance they are not very convincing but if you see them from a long distance it gives the illusion that people are flying. Many people witnessed the three planes and most of them with surprise drawn to their faces. Some of them took photos of the planes but I am sure that at that time they thought that they have discovered a secret government project that makes humans fly. I am sorry too, we are stuck with airplanes and helicopters (for now).
Command and Conquer in HTML 5
I was a big fan of Command and Conquer for a long time. I was playing Red Alert for hours in both single player and multiplayer. I was just informed that someone is recreating the game in HTML 5 and JavaScript and I couldn’t resist on trying it. It is a single map with one simple mission but it is a very good start. There are also few very obvious bugs but they are working to improve it. It is very convenient to have a game in HTML 5 since you are not required to install the game on your computer and you can play (and continue) from any computer. The only requirement is that you must have a compatible web browser and internet connection. I played the game with Firefox 9 with no problems and I highly recommend it.
Rage against the machine
If you like funny videos, science, destruction or you are fan of Rage Against The Machine you must watch this video. It shows how a Hotpoint washer can self-destruct after some modifications. It is very funny and interesting, you can see it tearing itself apart and with some help to be destroyed completely. You can see its parts breaking slowly or flying away. You should not try it at home, it is very risky and if you are not careful someone can get hurt.
Cheap Flights Video
This is the funniest video I have seen this week and it does not include cats, dogs or any other animal. It is a very funny song and I share with you the version with subtitles. Its name is Cheap Flights and it is describing how much the prices differ, the ones you see advertising on the websites and the actual ones. A very good story that is very close to the reality. You must see this one and if you like it let me know in the comments and I will post more like this one in the future.
How to erase a CD
This post is not for erasing the data from the CD but erasing the CD and making it useless. With this method you erase the reflective metallic layer on the disc with electrical current. Data is saved on that metallic layer and by removing it you make the CD useless. All you need is high voltage and you will feel like Nikola Tesla. The reason you see it shrinking and disappearing is because CD recording medium is conductive and sparks follow the least resistance path. Sparks vaporize the medium from the outside because it is the nearest path and continues until it is gone completely.
Talking Animals – Ultimate Dog Tease
You might already watched this video but it is very funny and it was one of the most viewed videos of 2011. It is about a man that teases his talking dog. Words are fitting to dog’s mouth movements which makes it look realistic and funny. If you haven’t watch it so far click play to the following video and watch it now. If you want more funny videos with animals let me know in a comment so I can provide you more funny animal videos. Merry Christmas and a happy new year.
Strange Gamer
I have seen very strange gamers but nothing like that. You see babies play games and you thing that is a remarkable thing but this will amaze you even more. It is a video of a Bearded Dragon playing Ant Smasher. She does not use her tiny fingers to play but her tongue. She is a very good gamer, once she starts smashing ants, she can’t stop. She just needs to learn the rules and we might have a new record. How do you feel if you get beaten by a beard dragon in a game? We might soon see them playing World of Warcraft or Call of Duty. Enjoy!
How to calm your baby
Babies cry, it is an annoying fact. A baby cries for any reason. This reason can be food, boredom, cold, anything. The trick is to find that reason and make it calm. Some babies calm when you give them a toy, some others when you take them to the park, some of them if you put them in front of the T.V. Did you try music? It works on many babies, the only tricky part is to find the genre that your baby likes. They might like different type of music in different situations, like we do. I didn’t believe it when I watched the following video but then I tried it on my nephew. I couldn’t believe how effective this was. Please don’t put death metal or anything that is barely a music. I recommend something light like classic music, Muse, Dream Theater, R.E.M. and Pink Floyd. Leave a comment if that worked for you.
Really Fast Food
By reading the title your mind goes to a food that needs very little time to be cooked. This is not what this post is about. It is about fast food cooks and service which with many years of practice the repeating job can be executed really fast and with style. I have found this video on YouTube with fast food in India and I can tell you that now I know what fast food means. It shows several fast food places but in all of them there is speed and style. Enjoy the video and leave your comment. I review all the comments so it will not be posted until I approve it.
Funny Google Stuff
We all know that Google’s employees enjoy Easter eggs and give us something funny occasionally. Since my posts about Google Gravity and do a barrel roll I received many emails asking for more funny Google stuff. This post is about all the funny things I found that has to do with Google. I will start with the search terms and then the projects and websites with Google fun. I believe that you will enjoy this post. If you know something not in this post feel free to send me an email or post a comment.
