Youtube scientist Destin of Smarter Every Day explores breaks out the 130,000fps camera to observe the genuinely fascinating phenomenon of Prince Rupert’s Drop (aka ‘Rupert’s Balls’ or ‘Dutch Tears’) – whereby molten glass dropped into cold water hardens into a tadpole-like droplet with a long tapering tail.
The head of the droplet is virtually impervious to brute force. But just tip the tail and…you’ll see.
The music video for Never Again by Australian musician Tommy Spender, who sez:
I made this film clip with a great photographer friend of mine and it took two takes. That means I had to eat TWO CAKES. I ended up eating so much confetti and glitter that I had a glittery poo the next day. But it was all worth it as backwards eating really can end up looking quite beautiful. Thankfully the clip was not about the glittery poo.

I know you don’t normally do this, but. I’m off to London on Monday with this software startup I’m working with.
We’re going to pitch to VCs, in the hope that they will give us a pile of money to build out our product (i.e., buy luxury yachts*) and hire a team and keep making stuff that keeps the Hardy Bucks off the streets.

A short film by The Perennial Plate featuring the dabbawallas of Mumbai – who deliver home-cooked lunches to office workers in a low tech but remarkably effective way.
Each day in Mumbai 4000 men in white outfits and matching hats transport 175,000 lunches across the big city. They retrieve the tiffens (lunch containers) of food from mothers and wives, and bring them (by foot, train, bicycle and even carried on top of their heads) to the office buildings of waiting husbands and sons. The Dabbawallas have been doing this since the late 1800s.Despite the unsophisticated mode of transport, the lunches always arrive on time (the error rate is 1 in every 16 million transactions).
