Ever wonder if some of those ‘X-Men‘ super powers can be duplicated in real life? Well, one little boy inadvertently figured out how to harness the power of Banshee, who can shatter glass with his super-sonic voice.

Warning: If you have a fear of flying, this video definitely won’t help. A Boeing 767 made an emergency landing in Warsaw, Poland yesterday after its landing gear failed to extend due to a hydraulic problem.

For kids of the ’80s, few accomplishments were more meaningful than solving a Rubik’s Cube without having to resort to removing the stickers. But for Cube master David Calvo, it’s no longer enough to simply line up the colors on each side — he’s actually mastered the art of solving a Rubik’s while juggling two more at the same time.

What exactly do bears have against us? Last month, we wrote about a bear who stole a car and took it for a joyride. And now, an even more brazen bear has viciously attacked a Pennsylvania couple in their own living room.

While juggling five basketballs would be quite difficult for the layman, it’s a trick any self-respecting clown should have in his arsenal. Juggling five basketball with your hands and feet, however, is an almost infinitely more difficult task, and one that acrobat Selyna Bogino is able to flawlessly pull off in the video below.

Not only does this Iranian waiter casually cram 11 tea cups and and their corresponding saucers into one of his normal-sized human hands, but he fulls each precariously balanced cup with hot tea. Next, he places a twelfth full serving on top of the tower, and two more in his other hand, before going forth to serve tea. See it to believe it below.

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. Despite the severity of the crash (which shatters the motorcycle in question), its rider miraculously gets up and walks it off.

In this video, a bunch of Indian youths grab hold of the side of a train and “surf” it through the station’s platform. Then the train leaves the station, with the boys still casually hanging on, and things go from pretty nutty to completely insane.

Scott Weaver has spent the last 35 years building a highly-detailed tower replica of San Francisco using only toothpicks. And it that wasn’t impressive (or insane) enough, his tower allows ping pong balls to take a half-dozen differently routed tours throughout San Francisco’s neighborhoods and famous landmarks. In the video below, Walker walks you through all of his painstaking creation’s twists.

Israeli filmmaker Eran Amir created a pretty dazzling 100-second short by having 500 people hold up 1,500 synced photographs, thus creating a stop-motion, picture-in-picture effect.

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”

If you’re ever fortunate enough to have the free time (and extra cash) to spend 44 days traveling to 11 countries, pray that you also have a couple talented filmmakers with you — because you could end up with an amazingly cool little trilogy like this one made by Rick Mereki, Tim White, and Andrew Lees.
