A friend of mine showed me this clip from failblog and I find this pretty hilarious. Too many people partying on the boat = boat sinks = Celine Dion takes center stage = Sings Titanic theme song = Epic melodrama. The timing is just so right! And who says soundtracks can't evoke strong emotions? Emotions... Continue Reading →

A Forklift is not a Go-Kart
A forklift is not a toy. It may seem fun to drive around, but in actual fact, you need to be qualified to drive one. And that takes some time in undergoing training and familiarizing with the controls. This guy apparently needs more training. He just bashes through one of the warehouse's storage structure, and...
