New A-Team Film Trailer
I have grave concerns that this is a remake that shouldn’t be made. I also think they’ve probably given away the high moment of the film in the trailer. But either way, this will get some people salivating:
Fitness, Health, Diet, Crossfit, Weightlifting, Musings and fun. Please comment on what you read.

This is very cute:
This is very clever:
And this is very odd, but compelling nevertheless:
Found some great videos this week you’re really going to like.
You don’t see this in fighting very often, in fact I think I’ve only ever seen something like this once before:
This video I had to watch 3 times, I just couldn’t believe the other 2 presenters in the studio. The woman doesn’t react at all. The guy *thinks* about going to help, then… nah, a quick check his jacket button is done up and down he sits. Unbelievable!
The best video last. In keeping with the TV entertainment theme, keep your eye on the black presenter on the left. The snake expert just cracks up, hilarious:
I came across a cool series of videos on YouTube about changing our behaviour by making mundane things fun. First up: Will more people take the stairs, if it’s been converted into a giant piano:
What about throwing rubbish away if the bin makes a huge falling noise? I actually love the fact that people go and pick up more rubbish just to have another go!
The last one turns a bottle bank into an arcade game:
On the subject of escalator use, checkout this photo, it made me laugh:
Frisky cat climbs on cops head:
Seesaw face plant, wait for it…
This doesn’t go quite as anticipated:
And finally, this kid learns the hard way that most famous of Newton’s physical laws: “For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.”
Three videos this week showing a cool underwater phenomenon: bubble rings. They are a bit like smoke rings, but hold their shape for an amazingly long period of time.
This first video shows Beluga Whales playing. Start from around 0:30s till about 1:40:
It’s not just Beluga Whales that are clearly very intelligent animals. Dolphins are even more amazing in their bubble ring play:
Lastly, at first I didn’t even believe that this was an air bubble, but it is:
3 videos for you this week. The first is a hilarious Dilbert cartoon sketch, especially funny given that I’m a Chartered Engineer!
Given that it was Halloween last week, it seemed only appropriate to show a Halloween related video. Here’s what happens when you drop some thermite in a pumpkin, with a few other pumpkin incidents too:
I’ve saved the best till last though, the quality Go For an English sketch from Goodness Gracious Me:
This short video of a dog sleeping is funny, but only for the first half:
This is a great video of 3 cats fighting over 1 steak. I love the grey one chewing it whilst the other 2 play tug of war! Shame the own interfered at the end:
However, not strictly a “fun” video, but this band are my personal pick as the best band I’ve heard of 2009, and they publish half the songs (and videos) from their début album on their website. Check them out and come back to let me know what you think: Scouting For Girls
Choke on the cuteness of the most amazing video I have ever seen:
Teaching a wolf to howl, how cool is that?!? There’s only room for one video this week, simply because nothing can top that…
Let’s start with a very short BBC News reader blooper. What goes wrong when comma’s are left off the auto prompter:
I used to keep rats as pets. They are actually friendly, sociable and very clean animals. But even I would be hard pressed to look after a rat that’s the size of a large cat!
And in a break from the norm, some awesome wildlife pictures:
