There is a house in this beautywood; they call the rising sun.

We wonder what he could do with It’s Such a Good Feeling.

When does skateboarding not require a skateboard? When you use the wheels from the bottom of your office chair instead. Inline skating expert Ilia Savosin shows us how its done by strapping a pair of five-wheel chair bases to his feet and hitting the skate park.

Give your cacti or other small houseplants a special place on your shelf in these spooky resin skull planters.

The Auralnauts used some editing and visual effects trickery to make it look like the characters in The Matrix movies (and Wilford Brimley) are reciting the lyrics to the Vanilla Ice hit Ice Ice Baby. Take the red pill, and it’s really Queen and David Bowie’s Under Pressure.

Lord Cutler Beckett was a real jackass in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, so it’s no wonder he got what was coming to him. YouTuber Shrubbery imagines what it might have been like if an entire armada descended on Beckett to put him out of his misery and send his ship to Davy Jones’s locker. (Thanks, Orion!)

Filmmaker Fabrice Mathieu imagines that the Chinese spy balloon actually came from outer space, and it’s not the only one. In fact, an immense inflatable invasion is headed our way.

Given the nature of our website, we admit we might come across as materialistic. But that’s because there’s just too much awesome new stuff out there. Daniel Thrasher shares the same affliction and wrote a little song about his obsession with shiny new objects.

As we’ve seen before, inventor Nicolas Bras loves to make unique musical instruments. His latest instrument is one of the sillier ones we’ve seen. He created an improvised bagpipe by attaching his PVC pipe clarinets and a kid-sized duck pool float. It doesn’t sound much like the traditional Scottish instrument, nor does it quack like a duck.

While this sound effect of an audience gasping has yet to catch up with old Wilhelm, it definitely has been used way too many times. There’s a full list of its uses on the Sound Effects Wiki.

NERF darts typically require a blaster if you want to shoot them across the room. Joel Creates and his brother engineered a NERF dart that can fire itself right from your hand.

If you own a fancy sports car, you might store it beneath a tarp. WhistlinDiesel got their hands on something much more fun.

Musician Todd Barriage specializes in pop-punk and emo remakes of popular songs. Among his covers is this version of Ricky Martin’s mega-hit Livin La Vida Loca as if it was also the Sum 41 track Still Waiting. He nailed the sound, but Todd’s look is more “Weird Al” Yankovic than Deryck Whibley.

After facing off in a table tennis tourney with fellow maker Giaco Whatever, he decided the best way to make sure no balls got past him was to build an oversize ping pong paddle. Check out the full build log and gallery on Imgur.

Using a Dremel rotary tool to power an R/C helicopter seems like a really stupid idea. But Peter Sripol is the guy who built an airplane out of an angle grinder, and a gas-powered NERF blaster, so if anyone can pull it off, it’s him. But there’s much more to engineering a helicopter than just slapping a rotor onto the Dremel.
