That’s what it was titled when i found it and it’s fitting aside from the fact that this kid seems like he is mildly autistic… and a bit more than mildly arrogant.
Here is the accompanying description and video:

Talk about staying “green”, this is one of the coolest things I have come across.
I found this titled as “the ultimate tree house” on TechEBlog and this is a quick summation of this brilliant idea:
 Mitchell Joachim, Javier Arbona, and environmental engineer Lara Greden have designed the ultimate treehouse, which “will grow from a few seedlings into a two-story, water-recycling, energy-efficient abode.†Video overview after the jump.

It is pretty well known that Afghanistan harbors the production and distribution of various drugs — mainly opium but in this case, marijuana.
In this video a soldier in Afghanistan shows the camera around a Gigantic marijuana crop. This field is so big you could probably mistake it for a corn crop.
Here is an interesting fact before the video:
As much as one-third of Afghanistan’s GDP comes from growing poppy and illicit drugs including opium and its two derivatives, morphine and heroin, as well as hashish production. (wikipedia)
One third of their GDP!? That is friggin nuts.
This vertically challenged guy has some Serious moves. Watch has he rips it up to Michael Jackson’s “Beat It”.
This has to be one of the biggest hills EVER. For fun it looks like these guys are trying to off road it up the hill… in this clip a guy b-line’s it ALL the way up the hill only to half way roll over… then CORRECT the roll and all together avoiding the ROLL of his life.
Nice save buddy! I’m sure he needed a change of undies after that.

This guy has some amazing skills with the yo yo.
Here is a fun fact: I have a Yo Yo too.
Here is another fun fact:Â This guy is so good @ yo yoing you probably would feel inferior just standing next to him will make you feel like an ass.
Here is a third fun fact:Â The video comes from Michael (the crazy dago) — thanks man!
It looks like this was a Duncan sponsored event as Duncan is a pretty well known maker of yo-yo units and strings. So before i post the clip here is a fact that you may have not known about Yo-Yos and Duncan:
“Originally constructed from wild boar sinew and papaya tree wood the outer edge of these ancient yo-yos were carved into teeth, which ensured maximum damage, but made the return catch particularly hazardous. When Captain Cook arrived in the Philippines in the 1500s he is said to have remarked, “Nowhere have I seen a people so devoted to the mastery of a weapon so useless.””
Now, get this!
 There is no conclusive documented evidence that the yo-yo is derived from, nor even existed in any form intended for use as a weapon. Generating enough force to create a fatal blow with a yo-yo would also be difficult because as the toy is reaching the end of the string it is slowing down. This rumor was possibly started by Tom Ives, Duncan’s PR man in the 1930s. There is speculation that he created the weapon myth during the 1930s fad for the publicity.
Can’t trust anything… now for the vid:
I found this picture on NASA’s website. This is a picture over Death Valley in California. Warning, the image is GIGANTIC.
Explanation: This eerie glow over Death Valley is in danger. Scrolling right will show a spectacular view from one of the darkest places left in the continental USA: Death Valley, California. The above 360-degree full-sky panorama is a composite of 30 images taken two years ago in Racetrack Playa. The image has been digitally processed and increasingly stretched at high altitudes to make it rectangular.
In the foreground on the image right is an unusually placed rock that was pushed by high winds onto Racetrack Playa after a slick rain. In the background is a majestic night sky, featuring thousands of stars and many constellations.
The arch across the middle is the central band of our Milky Way Galaxy. Light pollution is threatening dark skies like this all across the US, and therefore the International Dark-Sky Association and the US National Parks Service are suggesting methods that can protect them.
This video shows how smart crows really are. In the clip a crow is trying to reach inside a very tall/narrow cylinder in order grab some food.
He starts by using a wire to poke it out, but that doesn’t work. SO the crow then BENDS the wire into a hook and lifts the food OUT!
Amazing!
