DNA Splicing Man There was this scientist working for a very advanced food laboratory. So advanced, they were heavily funded and were simply told to find anything interesting we can use to increase our profits. So this guy was kind of on his own, and he got the idea from watching a documentary […]
No Coasting Allowed
Racing Styles They have different kinds of bike races. Flat races, races through hills, and on mountain trails. And races on those loops where they ride bikes that don’t have any gears and you can’t coast. Stay Or Go? https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Jun11Loop.mp4 I have a friend that was debating whether or not he should […]
Cereal For Breakfast
Something of Champions I have this weird friend that eats popcorn for breakfast every morning. I wondered why she did this, so finally I asked her, wondering if it might cause unexpected friction. She actually had a very rational, very legitimate answer. Where’d The Sun Go? https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Jun10Loop.mp4 If you study solar eclipses, […]

Center Of The Universe
