If you are from the San Francisco bay area you might know of Jan Wahl. Jan Wahl is a movie reviewer on KRON4 and in this video she is interviewing Quentin Tarantino regarding his movie Kill Bill.
As you will see Jan Wahl tries to attack Tarantino, and even from the start makes a rude comment about his looks. Tarantino handles the situation pretty well and owns Jan Wahl from start to finish.
Another shocking clip.. this one is of a sewer going completely out of control. The sewer is in the center divide of a freeway, blows it’s top and erupts into a volcano of water.
It’s so crazy that it causes a car accident!
High Voltage Cable Inspection on 0.5MV lines.
Guys are taken up by helicopter to the top of high voltage power lines where they then crawl out of the helicopter and ONTO the lines. Once on the lines they walk/crawl the lines as they do their inspection… if these guys mess up, they most likely fall to their death.
This guy is a true master of stacking dice. Some parts of this video look like they have been sped up but if you look @ his face/body its only the hands/arms that are moving super fast.
Enjoy the dice stacking :).

Did you know you can cut glass under water… with scissors?! This video from YouTube shows how it is done. I also googled it a little bit to find out why this works and here is what i found:
According to Scientific American, water causes glass to crack more easily because when a water molecule enters the crack, a reaction occurs in which a silicon-oxygen bond at the crack and an oxygen-hydrogen bond in the water are cleaved, creating two hydroxyl groups attached to silicon. As a result, the length of the crack grows by the size of one bond rupture. The water reaction reduces the energy necessary to break the silicon-oxygen bonds, thus the crack grows faster.
And now for the video:
What a great picture… the pic is bad quality and i can’t really tell if it has been photoshopped but what the hell… it’s still great!
A cool article from MSN explains 5 different foods you can eat to fight bad breath… also known as butt mouth in certain cases. Below is the juice from the article.
1. Chew on this. Move over parsley, there are some new halitosis-fighting herbs in town. “Coriander, spearmint, tarragon, eucalyptus, rosemary and cardamom are all good for fighting bad breath,†says Dr. Christine Gerbstadt, who has lectured on oral health. You can chew on fresh herbs or make tonics by steeping them in hot water (as a tea). These herbs make an excellent digestive as well—doubling the benefits of ending a meal this way.
2. Get some active culture. No, not Cirque de Soleil, but yogurt. A recent study found that a serving of yogurt each day reduces the level of odor-causing hydrogen sulfide in the mouth. Apparently it also cuts back on bacteria in the mouth—plaque and gum disease were reduced in the study’s yogurt eaters as well. Plus, the American Dietetic Association (ADA) recommends getting enough vitamin D from yogurt, cheese and milk if you’re worried about halitosis because this vitamin creates an inhospitable environment for bacteria growth. Be sure to get the kind of yogurt with active cultures—not overly processed or sugar-added varieties.
3. Crunchy types. Apples, carrots, celery—basically any fiber-rich fruit or vegetable is your friend when it comes to fighting halitosis. “Inside your mouth, plaque build-up causes odors,†explains Cynthia Sass, ADA spokeswoman and registered dietician. “Eating foods that increase saliva production keep the mouth moist—and rinsed out. Also, many carbs and proteins can get stuck in your teeth—even healthy foods like whole grain cereal or chicken breast.†So follow a meal with a Granny Smith (feel the saliva kick in at the mention of it?) to cleanse the mouth.
4. Masking techniques. Sugarless gum shouldn’t replace brushing your teeth after a meal, but in a pinch it can freshen breath (masking odors) and is another way to increase saliva production to rinse away plaque and bacteria. Mints can mask as well, but only briefly—and go for sugarless. Sugar creates plaque, and no one wants a mint that makes breath worse.
5. High C’s. Eating berries, citrus fruits, melons and other vitamin C-rich foods create an inhospitable environment for bacteria growth. A diet rich in vitamin C is also is important for preventing gum disease and gingivitis—both major causes of halitosis. Get your C in foods, not supplements, which can cause gastrointestinal upset in some, according to Sass, and exacerbate bad breath.
Who knew this is all it takes?
