I don’t know about you, but this thing seems bloody awesome, though there does seem to be major safety issues regarding this device. I don’t want to be on a wheel chair for the rest of my life if anything bad goes wrong. Check the video out below.

Bloody awesome clip I found on youtube which shows some guy demostrating a brand new invention, the slinky chair. Hard to explain what it is but just imagine a normal wooden chair with the ability to twist and turn just like a slinky. I took the liberty of posting the video up here.

I have nothing against emo people, but these following clips really cracked me up. These are definitely must sees for people who knows anyone who is emo. Warning, if you are emo, don’t watch this, and if you do then don’t blame me for anything that you do to yourself. Read more »
