Three years before Martin Kaymer pulled it off, golf legend Vijay Singh made the exact same trick shot on the exact same hole – the 16th hole at the Augusta National Golf Course. Another angle here.

CGP Grey clears up some geographical misconceptions about the Netherlands but will have you confused again by the end with the crazy setup of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Sean Ward’s friend’s son Kieran wanted “to have Spider-Man” for Christmas. Incidentally Sean has a Spidey costume that he uses for his online show. So we guess Kieran owns Sean now.

A documentary about a small video game studio and its insanely successful and creativity-inspiring game – is now available. You can get the film as a digital download or as a DVD.

(NSFW: Language, Gore) ZeFrank continues his True Facts series with a profile on the Anglerfish, a deep sea creature that is equal parts brutal, grotesque and bizarre. Just a spiky ball of nope.

We’re not sure how Cory Williams did it, but he was able to capture a couple of ninjas making sweet love. At least we think it’s a couple. Don’t worry, it’s safe for work. Unless you’re a ninja.

YouTuber fornax turned a broken printer into something even more useless (and infuriating), a useless machine with not one or two but eight switches. At this point, it’s almost useful for exercise.
