This is a video of Traddino, a 51-foot, 11-ton, walking, fire-breathing dragon robot that was just named the new Guinness World Record Holder for "world's largest walking robot". The winner before that? Who cares. All I know is it looks like that thing is about to crispy-fry... / Continue →

This is a short video of French bicyclist François Gissy setting a new world record by hitting 263km/h (~163mph) on a hydrogen peroxide powered rocket bike. That seems dangerous. I've probably hit 25mph on my bike before and I felt like my face was going to melt off. Then I ... / Continue →

This is a video of 30 skiers (although I only counted 25) holding hands and doing a simultaneous backflip. Everybody lands it too. If I'd been participating I would have purposefully fallen and dragged everyone else down with me BECAUSE I'M A JERK. Just kidding, because I ca... / Continue →

This is a video from reader Beau in his record-breaking attempt to customize the most expensive Starbucks coffee drink (previously it was this $26.30 one set by another reader. Also, why is this a Geekologie trend? I didn't sign up for this) . The 52-ounce (which, for the re... / Continue →

This is a chart depicting the distances we've traveled on worlds that aren't earth. SOMEHOW the Soviets still hold the top spot for longest distance traveled with a single vehicle. Granted it was an unmanned vehicle, but still, I'm a little disappointed in NASA. Me: *makin... / Continue →

This is a short video tour of the world's shortest escalator, located in Kawasaki, Japan. The escalator has a vertical rise of only 83-centimeres (~33-inches) and should have probably been a ramp instead. This video already has 5-million views on Youtube though, so I'm not go... / Continue →

This is a video of a playable record made entirely out of ice. It was created for the Shout Out Loud's new single, 'Blue Ice'. You know, so it's an appropriate medium. Spaghetti? Spaghetti would probably make a terrible record even if your new single was called 'Meatballs &... / Continue →

Oh my God he drank himself stupid. This is the Armageddon, the world's strongest beer. The world's strongest blogger? That would be not me. I haven't even been able to do a pull-up in like six years. I'm not super weak, I just have thirty extra pounds around the middle and... / Continue →

I meant to post this yesterday when Felix Baumgartner record-breaking freefall was still news, but I didn't because I forgot and now I'm late to the game. And you know what? I have every intention of fouling out and leaving early too, so there. This is a 1:350 reenactment of... / Continue →
