The Large Hadron Rap
What do we love more than nerds? Rapping nerds!
Here’s a neat video by the physicists of CERN (is that a large Hadron collider or are you just happy to see me?)

Bush or Batman?
Sketch group Secret Pants went to National Park in Old City Philadelphia to see if people could tell the difference between quotes by President Bush … or Batman!

Can you tell who said this:

We’ve climbed the mighty mountain and I see the valley below and it’s a valley of peace.

Link

And the Winner is … Arrrr!
Remember the Neatorama post about funny racehorse names? Well, this is a perfect example why they’re named like that (sounds like the announcer is having fun!)

The Best Fight Scene Ever
From The Ghost (2001) movie, here is the best fight scene ever recorded in movie history!

The guy in the wheelchair is Henry Smalls, who lost his legs in a train accident when he was young. Henry is the world’s first legless Kendo martial artist.

More clips on Henry

Indoor Motorcycle Wheelie Goes Bad
Bad idea: riding your motorcycle indoor
Really bad idea: riding your motorcycle indoor, in a crowded room
Neatorama-worthy: Tryin’ to impress the ladies by popping a wheelie … until this happened: Link

    He wasn´t using a bamboo sword, but that doesn´t mean he´s not a Kendo martial artist.

    Cheesy movie fight scenes or not, Henry Smalls is a very accomplished kendoka, actually. If you look him up on YouTube, you’ll find some pretty badass videos of him in various tournaments.
