Moving in Slow Motion

Today sure feels like a Monday. It was a little harder to wake up and I've been moving a little slower than usual today. I felt like I was moving in slow motion...which is what spawned the idea of today's post. In a physics class a couple of semesters ago, our teacher showed us this website and used it to apply some basic concepts. I thought it was cool because it had slow motion videos like these:


a jello square being dropped...


A man being shot in the chest with a BB...


A water balloon exploding...


And my personal favorite, a man being slapped in the face.

You can see other videos like these by following this link. There is also another website I found that has color slow motion videos. You can check it out by clicking here. I hope everyone enjoys this and that it helps you move a little faster on the lethargic Monday.

The Indestructable Toyota Hilux

Today we pay tribute to the indestructible Toyota Hilux. This british show, Top Gear, takes extreme things and puts them to the test. In this case the Hilux is known for its durability. But how durable is it? In this video they really put it to the test.

As if this truck hadn't been through enough. Now for the final test of durability...
