When it comes to inept drivers, Russia may have the quantity, but the good ol’ USA still has the quality. The story goes, a 19-year-old in Chicago allegedly (I have to say that, despite overwhelming evidence) driving a stolen car, got himself into a wee bit of trouble when, to…

Even after having spent so much time living and traveling in Italy, I’m still completely baffled as to why Silvio Berlusconi, ex-prime minister, media mogul and bunga bunga party master isn’t: A)    In jail. B)    In crazy jail. C)    In crazy jail on the Moon where there’s no chance of…

Take the crush of humanity in the Tokyo subway and the lawlessness of the New York subway, put them in a blender and you get this crowded subway video from Venezuela. Hang on to your jaw before you hit “play,” because it’s about to drop onto your keyboard. This bonkers…

Why are there so many airline fees and why do they seem so dubious? The short answer is economics. I know that’s not the answer you were hoping for (i.e. “Unforgivable ripoff”), but even the angriest flier has to admit that the video explanation below makes a lot of sense…

How can your walking style help you avoid getting mugged? In short, walk with purpose. Or walk angry. Fine, use whatever aggressive emotion you want, just don’t look awkward or clumsy (i.e. drunk). Take the picture above for example. Just look at that guy! That handsome, sturdy, angry guy. This…

You’ve no doubt been witness to Idiots That Travel (ITT).

Well, it…

Words cannot express how much I love this video. It combines three of my greatest passions: travel, juggling and being awesome. “That Juggler Guy,” as he prefers to be called (I assume, because I couldn’t track down his real name anywhere), in addition to being a world traveler, owns a…

If you were thinking of doing something dangerously stupid later today and want to live to tell the tale, drink a whole bunch of beer before you get started. It appears that guzzling eight beers saved a guy from dying after he and a fellow idiot decided to go for…

Remember life before Russian dashcam videos? Me neither, because wine. But I’ll hazard a guess that it was far less enriching. The usual scenes of poor high speed passing decisions, pedestrians avoiding near-death experiences and vehicles becoming airborne are commonplace at this stage, so the pressure for someone to do…

Now this being the internet, there’s an even chance this “Australian who’s never been there and knows nothing about its geography” was cooked up by an impish person marinating through a boring day at work who happens to have a sharp sense of humor. This suspicion is intensified by the…
