Possibly the best freestyle bike rider in the world

Even if he is the best freestyle bike rider in the world, he doesn't have even a tiny bit of the flair Nicole had in BMX Bandits.

I was disappointed to find out at the end it was an ad for Samsung, so I’m warning you up front, but it’s still pretty cool if it’s real, hard to tell if it’s real or not though.

DIY Emergency Cricothyrotomy Keychain

For all of those times when you find yourself having to save someone’s life because they can’t breath through their mouth, you can buy LifeStat, The Emergency Pocket Airway Tool. Yours in brass/aluminium for only $125, or as a gift for that special someone, 24k gold plate for $250.

Don’t know how to perform an emergency cricothyrotomy? It’s just 7 easy steps:

Dr. French, inventor of the Emergency Pocket Airway and an Ear, Nose, and Throat Physician, states the following:

1. In an emergency, unscrew the device from the end threaded onto the key ring.
2. Unscrew the other end. A trochar and cannula will slide out.
3. Perforate cricothyroid membrane or other accessible area of airway with trochar threaded within cannula.
4. Withdraw trochar after it and cannula are within lumen of trachea.
5. Thread small end of outer casing into hub of the cannula, thereby extending the length of what has become a breathing tube.
6. Spontaneous or assisted breathing now possible. Ambu or respirator adaptable.
7. Apparatus may remain in position during subsequent attempt at oral intubation.

Icelandic biotech company deCODE Genetics slides towards bankruptcy

“This might seem like a simple case of yet another biotech out-stripping its capital - but it's sadder than that. While it appears that deCODE made some poor strategic decisions in a business sense, it did use its unique assets (i.e. access to the DNA, health and genealogical records of a large proportion of the Icelandic population) to answer fundamental questions about human genetics. A remarkable number of the genome-wide association studies published over the last couple of years have come from deCODE (I've heard the company described as "a biotech that acts like an academic research institute").”

I don’t even know where to begin on how wrong this is. There are so many levels of wrong, I don’t even have the energy to go through them.

127 jalapenos in 5 mins

I'm not convinced these jalapenos are actually hot - only the big dude is sweating at the end, and he looks like he'd be sweating after standing up for 5 mins anyway. They are drinking milk after though, so there must be some heat there I guess.

Bike Parking in Japan

This is amazing. Because bicycles are the main form of transport in Japanese cities, there is a huge parking shortage. They just pile them up together at the bike racks. This video shows an alternative initially, which is basically a bike garage like a parking garage, then shows the new automated structures, which have to be seen to be believed!
