Totally Real Video Of Obama's Birth In Kenya of the Day

Totally Real Video Of Obama's Birth In Kenya of the Day:














Finally, proof that President Obama was not born in America, courtesy an anonymous source who leaked the video to Vice.

This "footage," shot on August 4, 1961, on Super 8 (invented in 1965), clearly shows the Kenyan flag (adopted in 1963) on the hospital bed.

Not only was the future "president" a very large baby -- he also was able to hold his head up right out of the womb!

Cardboard bicycle 'close to mass production': tough, green and just $20

Cardboard bicycle 'close to mass production': tough, green and just $20:
DNP Carboard bicycle close to mass production, holds potential to change personal transportation
Cardboard never ceases to amaze. Having been deployed in gramophones, stereos and even digital cameras, one inventor now believes it can be used to make the ideal bicycle. Izhar Gafni, from Israel, spent 18 months just folding the material every-which-way in order to discover a strong enough design, and now he claims his technique is almost ready for mass production. His maintenance-free bike uses a "secret" mix of organic materials to make it waterproof and fireproof, and is then lacquered to give it a friendlier appearance. It's expected to cost a mere $20 and weigh about 20 lbs (9 kg) -- that's 65 percent lighter than an average metal ride. In fact, this bicycle doesn't use any metal parts at all -- the solid tires are made of reconstituted rubber and a car timing belt is used instead of a chain. It lacks the swank of a Faraday Porteur, perhaps, but then you could buy 175 of these for the same money. Want proof that it actually works? The bike's not-so-featherweight inventor takes it for a spin after the break.

How To Kill It With Halloween Candy of the Day











"Candies were ranked from 1 (worst) to 31 (best) by each of the 5 people who cared enough to make this chart. Overall ranking was determined by simple addition, and standard deviations were calculated using Microsoft Excel 2008. Candies included were chosen based on a 3-hour long formal debate (screaming was involved)."
