Something for the weekend #6

Looking for something to liven up your Friday? How about a bus doing push-ups, a fracas with an ostrich, our new favourite Olympic athlete and probably the most amazing firework you’ve ever seen?

London double-decker bus doing push-ups for Olympics

Okay, we get the idea behind artist David Cerny’s fusion of London bus and Olympic athlete, and it looks pretty cool, but does it really need to sound like someone laying cable after a particularly vicious curry?

Boy falls off horse and is attacked by crazy ostrich

Now you know what to do if you’re chased by an ostrich while out on your bike – kick the crap out of it! Not sure what the animal rights people will say about this one.

Turns out the man wasn’t such a concerned father after all, at least if you believe these alternative subtitles…

Michelle Jenneke (complete race, no 80s music)

If all Olympic athletes looked a bit more like Aussie hurdler Michelle Jenneke, we’d be looking forward to the Games a lot more.

Every time we start to think mountain bikers are catching up with BMXers, someone goes and nails a trick like this…

Wow amazing sprial firework!

Gizmodo UK reckon this is actually “a flying vehicle powered by fireworks that propel it up in a spiral of fire”. Either way, we want one for our next barbecue.

Tower climbers working

This vid’s a bit slow-paced but the stuff these guys do day in, day out without ropes is just plain scary. Not one for vertigo sufferers.

Purpose beyond reason: Bunker

Think Oakley’s prices are bonkers? Wait til you see their Californian HQ…

No video this time – just a picture. You’ve gotta love Lego.
