russian spetsnaz. oh wow.

Wednesday, January 30th, 2008



russian spetsnaz is the term for the russian special forces.
and these guys are insane.


this is the most ninja warfare style i have ever seen and these dudes can probably kill you without laying a finger on you. literally.


watch this amazing video of a rare demonstration of their secret technique.




(from the video - in russian ) :

“this maneuver was allowed to be filmed only because at the same time it was being demonstrated to the US special forces”



the second part of the video shows the elite technique of no-contact combat

this, they really didn’t want to demonstrate …
… you don’t have to believe anything, no one was going to be proving anything to us anyway.



so this american reporter didn’t believe what they were showing him.
what he didn’t know was that he was going to get all ninja’d upon, and this guy pinched his brain from the inside without even touching him.


yea.

‘fairly tense experience’ or ‘grade a fucked’ ?

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

this photo had me googling ‘kyak vs white shark’ ..


wtf would you do


apperantly this is a real photo and is the dude wasn’t even eaten.


here is some info :

Sitting in a 3.8-metre sea kayak and watching a four-metre great white approach you is a fairly tense experience. Although we had extensively tested the sharks’ reactions to an empty kayak and had observed no signs of aggression, this gave us little comfort as we eyed a great white heading straight for us, albeit slowly.



read more on the snopes page, or this article.

the shark must have just eaten.. or what.



cursor*10 - a flash game that is made of win

Monday, January 14th, 2008

every once in a while you find a game that makes you go “oh nice.. check out this game”. this is one of those times.

this guy at neko games (whose website i find really hard to understand) had the came up with the idea of cooperating with yourself– that idea alone is enough to make for an awesome paradox slash game, and its well executed too.

cursor*10

the idea is to get to the 16th floor by clicking the upwards staircases - the twist is that you have 10 cursors to do it - one by one, 20 seconds each.

it really gives you the feeling of helping yourself, which is surprisingly pleasant - i should thank myself more.

play cursor*10 here .

eating sushi is serious business

Monday, January 7th, 2008

did you know you have to enter a sushi place a certain way ?

or that when eating alone you should always express a bit of guilt ?

the japanese have very interesting and a strict set of rules regarding food and almost everything has a social standard- whether arriving, eating, paying or leaving, some things are expected. it’s just that you wouldn’t expect to see them anywhere else.

being expected to say “maa maa maa” and “oh toh toh toh” while pouring drinks to each others drinks at every meal is one example.

watch this great video for more great facts and lessons on how to eat sushi like a ninja.

what you see depends on where you are in the world.

Friday, December 14th, 2007

The influence of culture and environment can have an effect on our visual perception.This theory was first explored by Robert Laws, a Scottish missionary working in Malawi, Africa, during the late 1800’s. Take a look at the picture below. What you see will largely depend on where you live in the world.After you have examined the picture, scroll down for a more detailed explanation.

what do you see ?

so what did you see ?

What is above the woman’s head? When scientists showed a similar sketch to people from East Africa, nearly all the participants in the experiment said she was balancing a box or metal can on her head.

In a culture containing few angular visual cues, the family is seen sitting under a tree. Westerners, on the other hand, are accustomed to the corners and boxlike shapes of architecture. They are more likely to place the family indoors and to interpret the rectangle above the woman’s head as a window through which shrubbery can be seen.

after reading i looked again and yeah, i could see that thing at the back as a tree and not the corner of a room, and the window as a box on that womans head.

i like those kinds of things.. it clearly demonstrates that what we see is just our brain trying to make since out of things - based on what it knows already; makes you wonder what reality really looks like.

Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.
