We’ve shown you the mayhem caused when liquid nitrogen is applied to ping pong balls. Now let’s look at the other end of the spectrum by seeing what chaos ensues by introducing fire. No wonder flaming ping pong never took off.

Rhett & Link offer up another 25 statements that deserve a spot in the “worst ideas ever” file. Though we think sporks and Slurpee spoon-straws would be even less effective anti-ninja-zombie weapons.

Breaths from the band members of Travis bring a projected animation to life in this entirely appropriate video for Moving, the second single off of their upcoming album Where You Stand. The album drops 8/19/13.

A team of parkour artists take on an unlikely challenger – a Porsche 997 Carrera GTS. While the car might have 402 horses and a top speed of 190mph, the athletes have a bit more ground clearance and make tighter turns.

Ok, so the graphics on our 8-bit systems were never this good, but we’ll forgive the guys at CineFix their slight misnomer since their pixelated RPG remake of Anchorman is spot on. You stay classy, Nintendo. (Thanks PhilRoy!)

Michael from Vsauce explores humankind’s fearful reaction to things that aren’t actually dangerous. Vagueness, ambiguity and things that are just slightly off are key contributors. We’re going to go wash out our eyeballs now.

YouTuber ericwoodie put together this brilliant mashup of The Lumineers’ hit roots revival song “Ho Hey” combined with Will Ferrell’s hilariously over-the-top Harry Caray impression.

Musician Chad Neidt rocks through a veritable crapton of TV commercial jingles in this One Minute Mashup. Though Barry Manilow did it better almost 40 years ago.

(NSFW: Language) The members of Children of Poseidon play Cactus Dodgeball. It’s like regular dodgeball, except they use cactus bits instead of a ball. And also there’s no dodging involved. There’s a lot of screaming though.

Christine Stephens lost her left foot due to a car accident. A colleague recently joked that she should make a prosthetic leg out of LEGO. Challenge accepted. You can see the finished (?) “LEGOleg” at around 4:10 in the video.

It’s not as nimble as a Ford Fiesta, but we’re still impressed with the tight turns, donuts and drifts pulled off by Michiel Becx in his semi. Those tire squeals are like music to our ears. Now who’s gonna clean up all that broken glass?

St. Louis Rams punter Johnny Hekker and placekicker Greg ‘the Leg’ Zuerlein show off the accuracy and power of their legs, feet – and Pokémon knowledge. Can you believe that football pre-season is just two months away?

Another retro-infused original Disney Animated Short features Mickey Mouse courting Minnie with his yodeling. Unfortunately, they live right in an avalanche zone. We’re thrilled to see Disney revisit its classic cartoon roots again.

An insane “4th Dimension” ride located in China, the Dinoconda not only follows the twists and turns of its track, but spins riders in loops in their own seats. Oh, and it starts out backwards. Better skip lunch before this one.

Trick rider Tim Knoll shows how he pulls off his low-to-the-ground limbo maneuver, which allows him to ride underneath semi trailers. As Tim mentions, don’t try this at home – it’s seriously dangerous – but awesome to watch.

We’re not sure why so much weird stuff happens in Russia, but here’s some footage of two giant concrete slabs that can’t stop moving around. We can only imagine it’s some sort of demon trying to escape the sewers.

We’ve never seen one of these driving down the highway before. It’s an unusually long truck that actually has two drivers – one in the front cab, and another hidden beneath the wheels controlling the rear section.

(NSFW: Language) Eric Romero’s hilarious mockumentary asks: what if being a jerk was actually a disease? What if mean people can’t help being mean? How much more infuriating would that make them? Long version here.

The Verge followed Indiana University alumnus Victor Oladipo as he wore a Google Glass at the 2013 NBA Draft. Check out how this important day unfolded from his point of view. Come on NBA; the WNBA has Ref Cams already!

The street fashion scene flourished as a reaction to the rise of supermodels. But it’s becoming a parody of itself, threatening to turn into an endless echo, where people yearn to be seen, and bloggers become each others models.

A short film that both depicts and serves as a metaphor of breakups. The brief dialogue is overly dramatic, but you won’t notice or care because of the film’s constant motion and tricks. At once hilarious and heartbreaking.

(NSFW: Language) Late night show host and self-anointed spiritual leader Conan O’Brien once again puts on his detective hat to help his staff. This time he’s looking for a missing mug. He should host an AA meeting next.

We’ve seen a hovering superconductors before, but this nifty neodymium magnet-covered track propels a floating vehicle along a looped surface, infinitely twisting upon itself, the vehicle floating both above and below the track.
