This little PSA starts out earnestly enough, warning of the dangers of driving too fast and how slowing down even a little can increase the time needed to stop a car — and possibly avoid hitting a pedestrian.

A day at the spa is supposed to be relaxing, but not for one Chinese man that had a beauty treatment go horribly wrong. Metro UK explains in graphic detail how one excited eel ended up in Zhang Nan’s bladder after taking the scenic route through his urethra.

How's your Friday going? We found this great video of an employee shooting a AK-47 at his boss. This video was created as an endorsement for bullet proof glass. It is pretty incredible that the guy sits there and doesn't hit the ground as the rounds are fired off. Check out this epic video.  We LOVE what they say at the end of the video!

In this video, a youngster stares down a TV reporter’s amply-filled halter top like he’s just discovering the wonders of the female form for the first time. His sheepish — but not necessarily apologetic — look when caught is pretty priceless.

Here is how the cheesy late-90′s stand-up comic buried deep in our subconscious would report this story: “Hey folks! Did you read the story in the Northwest Herald today about a guy in Illinois that found $150K in his backyard garden? Talk about growing some cabbage! Am I right folks? Those are a different kind of greens my friends! You hear what I’m saying everyone?!?”

The recent pop cultural embrace of all things zombie has focused on the more negative aspects of reanimated corpses — mainly, their mindless lust for munching on the brains of the living. While it’s true there have been plenty of comedic takes on these killing machines, we don’t think we’ve ever seen anything like the short film below, which is an uplifting and whimsical exploration of the simple

In a study that anyone who works in an office will heartily embrace, researchers found that spending small parts of the day wasting time on the Internet makes workers more productive because it acts to mentally refresh them. “Browsing the Internet serves an important restorative function,” concludes the report from the National University of Singapore.

The ‘Concise Oxford English Dictionary,’ celebrating its 100th birthday this year, has added 400 new entries to the English language. The freshman class of words that are now officially, well, words include “sexting,” “retweet,” “mankini,” “noob,” “jeggings,” and “woot.”

‘Charlie Bit My Finger,’ the little-home-video-that-could, has racked up more than 366 million views on YouTube since going viral in 2007. Four years later, the clip has been purchased by baby food giant Gerber to help promote the company’s new line of finger foods (how appropriate!).

While a typical car stereo produces about 100 watts of sound this sound system can belt out up to 40,000. As you can see from the video below, that type of wattage makes for a hair-raising experience when the bass gets heavy. Our sympathies to anyone who hitches a ride with a fellow who’s installed this supercharged monster in his car.

The force is strong with big spenders. Niue, a Pacific nation northeast of New Zealand has minted Star Wars coins adorned with images of classic characters from the trilogy including Luke Skywalker, Yoda, Darth Vader and Princess Leia.

Our friends at PopCrush assembled an epic list of the worst album covers released in the top half of 2011, including atrocities from Lady Gaga, Limp Bizkit and 311. We must say, there’s something about the digital age that makes artists release pretty awful cover art — could it be that in the age of Spotify and iTunes, they think these’ll never actually get seen any larger than thumbnail-size?
