Ooh La La!
A little kid riding his bike on the sidewalk in Sweden gets distracted by a traveling billboard for an adult’s only club, and hilarity ensues. Sure, it probably was a setup, but we laughed at the kid in Bad Grandpa too.

What’s not to like about BetaBrand’s soft fleece hoodie? After all, it looks great with those crazy, mixed-up camouflage patterns on it. All we can think of is that we’ll have to wait until 9/2017 to get ours, since it’s being crowdfunded.
We’ve got chills after listening to Puddles the clown’s emotional acoustic performance of a track from one of our favorite bands of all time, Badfinger. And if you don’t know who we’re talking about, it’s time you educated yourself.

We may not have driven it as hard as the time that The Stig tooks us for a ride in one, but living with the latest Focus RS for a week made us want one even more. Read all about what makes this 350hp AWD hot hatch just so fiery in our review on 95octane.
While it’s won’t push out the kind of air it would on an plane, there’s no denying that Phighter Images latest design is looks cool. It’s made from the nose cowling of a vintage Boeing 707, and fitted with a modern carbon-look blade. Available with an authentic or replica cowl.
SRS-RC shares footage of some amazing model trucks and construction equipment being driven and performing tasks during Modellbau Wels 2017, a festival which celebrates model vehicles and aircraft of all kinds. We’d love to see that Bucyrus crane being driven around in action.

The guys at Irfon Automation decided to see just how precise their Stäubli TX40 industrial robot was, so they attached a straight blade knife to it, and programmed the robot to play a game of five-finger fillet on an all-too-trusting human. Then they increased the speed.
Ben Ketola shows off his extraordinary ability to knock all 10 pins over not just once, but 12 times in a row, scoring a perfect 300 game in just 86.9 seconds. It doesn’t hurt that he had access to ten lanes to accomplish the feat, so he never had to wait for the pins to reset.
Based on a similar, but simpler design to their airless car tire concept, Bridgestone is showing off a bike wheel and tire combo which use a series of flexible thermoplastic spokes to absorb shocks and can never go flat. They hope to put them into production by 2019.

Artist Stuart Semple has devised a paint that is so black and so light absorptive that it makes objects look almost two-dimensional. It can even cover up shiny surfaces with a couple of coats, rendering them black as a country night. (Awesome lucky cat image via rainbrolly.)
While this robot might not be quite as showy at playing with model trains as these ones, there’s something hypnotic about this one toiling endlessly at its single task – to build a track just in time for the model train to get there.
ElectroBOOM’s Mehdi Sadaghdar expresses his disdain for “perpetual motion” devices which are claimed to produce more energy than is put into them, thus defying the basic laws of physics. The only thing these guys seem to be able to actually generate are YouTube views.

One of the most necessary tools in any woodworker’s toolbox is the drawknife. Watch as blacksmith Torbjörn Åhman walks us through every step of the process to turn a hunk of steel into a useful tool. We love how one of the tools he uses in his craft is a log. (Thanks Victor!)
