Chris Illuminati — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 19:46:30 +0000

Let this video of a motorcyclist crashing at top speed into a passing truck be a lesson to all drivers: Motorcycles are dangerous, riders should always wear a helmet and Ryan Gosling probably won’t be around to smooth things over when the two drivers meet.

Spectacular Parallel Parking Job Achieves Guinness World Record Status [VIDEO]

Jeremy Taylor — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 20:21:54 +0000

Many of the world records that the folks at Guinness dole out recognize skills that are otherwise pretty useless. (For example, the ability to wear a lot of t-shirts at once.)

Conversely, the Guinness World Record for the tightest parallel park actually celebrates a pretty practical talent. Anyone who’s had to squeeze into a tight spot will envy the ability of German parking wizard Ronny “C-Rock” Wechselberger to slide into a space measuring only 26 centimeters (10 inches) longer than his car.

The geyser started slowly at first, lifting the car only inches off the ground. But eventually, a massive torrent of water exploded from the sewer system and hoisted the backend of the vehicle several feet off the ground.

Jordan Breindel — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 17:00:21 +0000

Traffic congestion Southern California? Not for these toy cars. Things move along pretty briskly in this demonstration of California artist Chris Burden‘s “Metropolis II,” an installation that features more than 1,100 Hot Wheels cars and 13 toy trains in perpetual motion. It’s a big step up from “Metropolis I,” which had a mere 80 cars. In part deux, each car passes through the tiny city about 90 times every hour. This 18-lane mega-model took a team of 12 over four years to construct in Burden’s Topanga Canyon studio.
