Massan from MACAFRAMA on Vimeo.
Massan just joined the Macaframa team and this is the video that they posted to show off his skills riding downhill. Big balls, right there.
Also, I love how this video starts off.
Computer-animated video of the Tsar Bomba nuclear bomb detonation
July 16, 2009 @ 7:58 am
This video is computer-generated and it shows a clear representation of what you would have seen if you had watched the Russians drop the “Tsar Bomba” onto the earth in 1961. The Tsar Bomba is the largest and most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated. [via]

Video of children running from napalm bomb in Vietnam
February 21, 2009 @ 1:23 pm
I’ve seen this photo plenty of times before, but for those of you who might not be familiar with it, it’s a photograph taken by AP photographer Nick Ut on June 8, 1972 of a group of children fleeing the South Vietnamese village of Trang Bang after an accidental napalm bomb was dropped there by South Vietnamese planes. The photo’s obvious centerpoint is then-9-year-old Phan Thị Kim Phúc, who is the girl shown completely naked and running. The photo went on to serve as one of the iconic images of the Vietnam War, used by some as the ultimate proof that the war it Vietnam was a bad idea.
Anyway, the reason why I’m writing about this is because I just came across actual video footage of the bombing. I don’t know whether or not this is common knowledge among the generations older than me, but I certainly haven’t seen this video before. And now that I have, I’m incredibly saddened and unable to shake the image of the hanging skin from these burned children. I imagine that the children are so stunned by what just happened that they aren’t even feeling any immediate pain.
I warn you however, that the video is shocking and very graphic. So if you want to see it, it’s embedded inside.
Coke bombs: miniature Coca-Cola bottles that look like bulbs

Has anybody seen these so-called “Coke bombs” anywhere in New York? They look to be the size of a large Christmas tree ornament and apparently there’s at least one place with a huge collection of them.
If anybody knows where I can pick these up in the Tri-State area, please let me know in the comments! These look so cute!
