Secret Service Bankrupt Due To Constant Trump Family Travel
He wants the govt to fail and spend less, seems fair he loses some security.
Nigerian Slap Fight
I can't believe they don't always get knocked out doing this. The first guy didn't know what he was doing and hit his opponent in the side of the face.
The second guy knew where to hit though and the first dummy opened his jaw angle to make it easier to get knocked out. At least he didn't use his legs/hips to hit even harder.
I really hope this doesn't happen very often because getting knocked out via blunt trauma = very bad for brain in long term. Would have been safer if they boxed it out.

Highway to [Hazmat] Hell!
Ha, if you see the driver running for it, probably a good idea to BACK UP!
What If The Moon Exploded?
Well they're right in that the results will be unpredictable, so their predictions are probably off I dunno about losing the seasons and the earth wobbling more; if the moon just vanished that seems unlikely. If it blew up, then that could cause wobble, but we'd have bigger problems in that case.
I've been enjoying SevenEves, Neal Stephenson's take on this scenario.

Terrifying RC Helicopter Breaks Reality
Oh ya it's totally real. Smarter Every Day did a pretty cool series on helicopter physics that's worth checking out:

There are many pilots that can do the tricks in this video, but Tareq Alsaadi is world class and I haven't seen anyone else do this between trees much less in the dark. He's beyond wizard, into demon territory.
I was going to call 'fake' but his instagram is full of videos like this.
I had no idea that the laws of physics had no grasp on RC choppers.
Terrifying RC Helicopter Breaks Reality
I can imagine this in a horror film. Someone walking down a dark alley. They hear a buzz and turn their head. Nothing. Continue walking, another buzz, this time closer. They look up. Nothing. Turn the corner and and this flying lawnmower comes down the street at 30MPH flipping around like a mechanized butterfly knife!!

Why Is A Group Of Crows Called A “Murder”?
See this is why I keep coming back to Videosift, the comments are better than the videos half the time! Well done sir!
I like to think this (although scene would be better with more child murder)
but PBS says:
What’s a murder of crows?
A group of crows is called a “murder.” There are several different explanations for the origin of this term, mostly based on old folk tales and superstitions.
For instance, there is a folktale that crows will gather and decide the capital fate of another crow.
Many view the appearance of crows as an omen of death because ravens and crows are scavengers and are generally associated with dead bodies, battlefields, and cemeteries, and they’re thought to circle in large numbers above sites where animals or people are expected to soon die.
But the term “murder of crows” mostly reflects a time when groupings of many animals had colorful and poetic names.

Right, but why is a group of crows called a “murder”?
