Daniel Tammet Video | Autistic Pi Day Savant On The Late Show With David Letterman

Posted: 02 Jun 2010 09:37 AM PDT

Daniel Tammet is once again in the news as he’s the subject of a special edition of 20/20 looking at SuperHumans. But this isn’t the first time this British savant has shown off his skills.

This video shows Tammet talking to David Letterman on The Late Show. He explains a little about his abilities, and how he came by them. And then determines the day Letterman was born on just from the date.

Tammet is a savant who can see, feel, and visualize numbers and figures. It’s thought that his superhuman abilities were brought out when he suffered seizures caused by epilepsy as a young child.

There are about 25 savants in the world, and Tammet is one of them. I think it would freak me out to meet one though, as they are essentially an evolutionary step ahead of the rest of us. Which is amazing, but slightly freaky.

Watch Awesome Montage to Pixar Animation Video | Pure Imagination Sung by Gene Wilder

Posted: 01 Jun 2010 11:42 PM PDT

Over the years, Pixar Animation has brought us many amazing films like the funny Finding Nemo to the absolutely adorable Wall-E. This is a tribute to their work.

While I have known on some level that Pixar has been around for quite a while, it didn’t hit me until I watched this video that they have been around for so long.

Or that they had made so many films.

I could still watch Wall-E repeatedly because I love it so much. Not so much the Toy Story movies, but they are still amazing animations.

Now I just need to get my hands on Ratatouille.

Watch Funny Nick Cannon Dancing on America’s Got Talent 2010 Video

Posted: 01 Jun 2010 11:27 PM PDT

Nick Cannon gets inspired by contestant Heavy Vee on America’s Got Talent and decides to join her with some down and dirty moves on the stage.

Well, she may not have made it onto the next stage for the talent show, but I bet she had a lot of fun.

I would also be willing to be that having Nick Cannon (though I have never heard of him before this…) come out on stage to dance with her really made her day.

Now if they just could have done something a little more coordinated…

Nah, just kidding. Good on her for giving it a go.

How To Clean Up The Gulf Oil Spill (Video) | BP Needs To Watch This

Posted: 01 Jun 2010 10:02 PM PDT

There are some pretty ridiculous vlogs of people on YouTube suggesting how to clean up the oil spill better than BP. None of them, however, seem as ridiculous as the actual solution.

Forget synthetic sponges and concrete, the real solution can be found in nature…

Mushrooms are nature’s decomposers, so it only makes sense that their would be one that could break up oil. If the 2007 oil spill in San Francisco was cleaned up with oyster mushrooms, then it only makes sense that the Gulf Oil spill could be cleaned up the same way.

This clip is actually from the documentary “Know Your Mushrooms” which has some very interesting facts about mushrooms and mushroom culture. If you like this excerpt from it, I highly recommend seeing the full film.

Watch Crazy Oklahoma City May Hail Storm Video | Lethal Size Ice Bullets

Posted: 01 Jun 2010 09:38 PM PDT

They were smart to stay inside because one of those pieces of hail to the head could have done some serious damage.

It isn’t exactly a secret that people all over the world have been experiencing some wild – and often record – weather, and this is no substitute.

While hail isn’t certainly unheard of in May in the midwest, it’s rare enough for this video to be very impressive! I wonder how much damage that storm did…

I am just surprised that we didn’t hear any glass breaking anywhere in the background, given how fast and furious that hail was coming down.

Watch Funny Total Wipeout Big Red Balls Do’s and Don’ts Video | Advice from Richard Hammond

Posted: 01 Jun 2010 09:30 PM PDT

Richard Hammond, host of Total Wipeout, finally tries out the big red balls for himself and shows contestants how it’s done. Kind of.

Total Wipeout is one of those shows that operates on the human car crash fascination; though we wince and sometimes look away, we just can’t help but stare at people getting beat up.

I, personally, completely understand that I am nowhere near fit enough to take on that course. However, it is amusing to see people who don’t have that level of self-awareness.

Especially when they fall. A lot.

Now if only we could watch Mr. Sarcastic – Hammond – do the same.

Pure Pole Angels on “Australia’s Got Talent” Video | Sexy Pole Dancers on Aussie Talent Quest

Posted: 01 Jun 2010 05:52 PM PDT

The final Australia’s Got Talent semi got a little raunchy tonight when the girls from Pole Star Angels took the stage.

By day the troupe’s members are a graphic designer, a boilermaker, and a diesel fitter. But once the whistle blows, their alter-egos are revealed. These lovely ladies are taking pole dancing out of the sleazy strip joints and into the mainstream.

There’s something for everyone here: the men enjoy ogling the girls and the women can’t help but appreciate their athleticism. These tricks are incredible, and the girls have definitely done enough to earn their place in the grand final.

Something tells me that if Australia doesn’t vote them through, the male judges definitely will!

Funny Weather Forecast Video | Weatherman Draws A Cock & Balls On Screen – On Purpose?

Posted: 01 Jun 2010 12:18 PM PDT

I guarantee there isn’t a man alive who hasn’t at some point or another, drawn a picture of a cock and balls. It usually happens at school, when puberty kicks in, but some people never grow up.

This weatherman clearly never has. At least assuming he’s done this on purpose rather than genuinely by accident.

The weatherman in question is explaining how storms are developing in two areas of the country, and how they’ll move north and east. So, two circles and a double-edged arrow become a cock and balls. Clearly.

All that’s missing is some pubic hair, but I guess he didn’t think he’d get away with that. I mean, what could that represent? Bush fires?
