The Weirdest Thing On The Internet Tonight: Demons End
What? Everybody’s cool with monkey knife fighting, but put one up against an unholy giraffe with a katana and suddenly people are yelling “But it has an unfair height advantage”, “Where’d that monkey get an Under Armor hat?” and “Why is that giraffe breathing fire?”
This Insane Highway Demolition Is The Longest Ever In China
Given the fevered pace of China’s infrastructure development, 16 years is ancient. That’s why the two-lane concrete Zhuan-yang viaduct running through central China, had to go — a bigger and better six-lane freeway was in the works. But to demolish the original roadway without harming the surrounding homes, engineers smothered the blast under a blanket.
The Artificial Insect Eye That Will Give Sight To Tiny Drones
Humans see the world through a pair of high resolution, single-lens eyes that allow us to adjust focus and pinpoint fine details. But simpler creatures, like insects, instead rely on compound eyes that have lower resolution but offer a much wider distortion-free field-of-view that’s actually better suited for lightning-fast motion perception.
Monster Machines: Australian Printer Spits Out 10m Of Solar Panel Every Minute
Australia is on the cusp of a solar energy revolution. First, a recent study suggests that we could power our entire national domestic infrastructure using only solar (while slashing the price of home electricity by 70 per cent).

Kinect Is Going To Watch How You Browse, Not Just What You Buy
There are endless metrics a store has access to when it comes to when, what and who is buying merchandise. But, surprisingly, there’s not a heck of a lot of data on why a customer decides not to buy something. So Fujitsu is hoping its new Kinect-based research tool provides more insight into how customers browse, and why they may decide against a purchase.
This New Trailer For The Wolverine Makes It Seems Very Watchable
Bad prequels and sequels seem so easy to make. Look at X-Men Origins: Wolverine for example. Now there’s a new Wolverine movie coming and the trailer actually makes it look incredibly watchable. Check it out here.
Sweat-Draining Fabric Will Banish Armpit Stains For Good
Fabrics geared towards athletes are designed to wick sweat away from the body so they don’t feel drenched. But the fabric is still wet and weighed down with perspiration. To really feel dry, researchers at UC Davis have developed a fabric with channels that literally drain sweat away. Gross and awesome.
Kinect 2 Full Video Walkthrough: The Xbox Sees You Like Never Before
