Japanese Soccer Team vs 100 Kids

Ok, here is something you don’t see every day! A professional Japanese soccer team took on 100 school kids in an exhibition match. Yes, at the same time! Not like 10 at a time for 10 games or something…

10 of the Coolest Machines You Could Ever Hope to Ride

December 4, 2008

I was entertaining myself for hours this evening while perusing all of the crazy ways man has invented to move himself from point A to point B.

Oshiya, or “pusher”, is an informal Japanese term for a worker who stands on the platform of a railway station during the morning and evening rush hours, and pushes people onto the train.

I know that like 10 billion people eat Ramen noodles every day, but I guarantee no one takes the route of preparing them that these folks took on this Japanese game show. It was apparently a Rube Goldberg competition and they used everything from bowling balls to marbles and included both flames and water. This [...]

Ok folks… what I’m going to expose you to today can either be considered some of the greatest, or most heinous videos ever created!
