While we were more than a little distracted by the silly WinAmp backgrounds (and headband) in Ewan Dobson’s music video, his acoustic guitar shredding completely blew our minds. More music here.

A group of surfers were lounging at the famous surfing spot in California when dolphins popped up out of nowhere and jumped through the waves. Must have been magical for those who were there.

Human Slingshot Slip and Slide

Human Slingshot Slip and Slide

Vooray used a slip and slide, an ATV and some reckless youth to great effect in their promo video. Some of the living projectiles passed out when they hit the water, so yeah, don’t try this at home.

Skull Hobo Nickels

Over the years, these soft metal coins have been re-sculpted with creepy skulls. If the U.S. mint started producing these, they’d be the only currency we’d use. Dig around on eBay for some.
