Molten Metal Squirtgun

Molten Metal Squirtgun

The Backyard Scientist’s latest build is one of his most dangerous yet – a gun that fires a stream of searing hot molten pewter, or just about any other liquid. Needless to say it shouldn’t be fired at anything or anyone you care about – unless it’s filled with ketchup.

Bugs on The Windshield

Bugs on The Windshield

We hate trying to clean the sticky mess off of our windshields when bugs smack into them, so we can’t imagine how much time it took to scrub the bug debris off of this truck after it ran into a massive swarm of locusts on a road in Dagestan, Russia.

A group of kids just can’t get enough of a donkey’s unique ability in this hilariously warped animated short by Ben Meinhardt. The minimal, but gut-busting premise reminds us of Marv Newland’s classic Bambi Meets Godzilla.

Conan: Batmans vs. Spider-Mans

Conan: Batmans vs. Spider-Mans

While at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, Conan poked fun at the numerous versions and reboots of both Batman and Spider-Man in recent years. Then they became what they hated, and kept rebooting their joke. To be fair, it worked.
