Look Out For The Green Chicks. They're Not Ripe

Look, I hate to break it to you, but there was only one Star Trek. It had Shatner rolling through the universe and barking out his lines in a sort of morse code. The rest was conversation, and not a very interesting one at that. It was cheesy and plenty of fun, like most things made for TV in the sixties.



Well, in this hurry-up world of ours, the properly culturally astute person has to brush up on their Trek dreck from time to time. Don't wanna get caught confusing the Catullans with the Iotians and giving the dreadful Star Wars tribes any ammo about who's more important. We're here to help. So here's all 56 episodes of the real deal Star Trek, all at the same time.





You're welcome. Live longer and prosper.

The Second-And-A-Half Amendment Applies Here I Think. Quadrotor Mini-Helicopters With Machine Guns Aren't In The Constitution

Absolutely fargin' epic episode of FPS Russia. It's all very well and good to equip your remote-controlled quadrotor with a HDHero camera and get some nice aerial views of your 50-50 grinds on your skateboards, but of course FPS Russia has to take it up a notch or three. Quadrotor with machine gun, coming up!

(A little salty language)



Nice to see the cash for clunkers program is still going strong there at the end. I always supected FPS Russia was an ecology nut.

Craig Breedlove. 

Records are made to be broken, of course. Breedlove broke his own record twice, and a handful of guys have since, including Andy Green of Great Britain, who went over 250 mph faster than you see in this video, and broke the speed of sound.

But every single person that stretches the bounds of human ability and endeavor deserves to be mentioned with all that come after. We stand on the shoulders of giants. It's why we see so far.

My advice: If this thing asks for your clothes, give them to him.

Black Diamond

In 2008, Yuichiro Miura, a 75-year-old Japanese mountain climber and all-around wild man, became the oldest man to climb Mount Everest. He'd already owned the record when he was 70, but someone broke it, and he went back to show that whippersnapper what's what. But then again, it was all minor compared to 1970, when he skiied down Everest.

This incredible, award-winning film features adventurer, poet and world-champion skier Yuichiro Miura as he and his team face the most challenging climb in the world, Mt. Everest. The ascent is fraught with tragedy, the descent miraculous. During the climb, they face an icefall that claims the lives of six of their team, still considered the worst natural disaster accident in Himalayan history. With a 35mm Panavision film crew in tow, they continue on to the South Col, only 350 meters from the summit, where Miura put his life in the hands of the gods in his descent. Using oxygen and a parachute to slow his speed, Miura skied 7,000 feet over sheer ice and rocks. Unbalanced by the gusting winds, he hit a boulder and fell 1,320 feet, smashing into rocks and ice ridges. A patch of snow was all that saved him, allowing his fall to end just moments away from the Bergshrund Crevasse. This final climax has been called the most exciting six minutes of film ever shot as Miura plummets helplessly down Everest's unforgiving icy slopes toward certain death.

You can watch the whole slip and slide here:

Big Whoop. The Drunken Clown We Hired For The Toddler's Birthday Party Took Longer To Inflate A Balloon, But He Was Less Amusing

Of course the largest Rube Goldberg machine in history is the Internal Revenue Service, but it's hard to give them a trophy, so they're giving it to these guys and dolls at Purdue, who've made a three-hundred step behemoth to pop a balloon.

How The Wild One Became The Mild One

Well, things certainly have changed since 1953. Motorcycle gangs are tougher than they were in that movie now, but then again, every dentist and accountant rides a Harley on pleasant Sunday afternoons, too.

A world where a guy all in leather conjures up an image of the third guy from the left in the Village People instead of Brando isn't all bad, is it? We've had an entire generation weaned on Roller Coaster Tycoon grow up and get to work at the amusement park. At least you don't have to worry about this biker gang riding into town. Takes too long to lay the track.



The helmets and so forth are just a gag, of course; everyone rides it any old way.

'Cause I'm The Axman. Yeah, The Axman, Yeah. And I'm Working For No One But You

If you're a script kiddie, goofing off in your cubicle until Lumbergh walks by, planning your zombie apocalypse or Life During Wartime survival of the fittest strategy, it may be useful to remember that if society does break down, you'll be competing for food, resources, and mates with these fellows, many of whom do not look like they could even set up a MySQL database properly or other really intelligent and useful things like you can .

Good luck with that.
