18 Things That Actually Exist
OK, so here's the thing:
- Taily wags when your excited, not when you're happy: it reacts to heart rate.
- That's not a flying lawnmower, that's a remote control single-wing model aircraft built to look like a lawnmower. There's a propeller on the front. It cannot cut grass.
- Babywings - ok, call it a straightjacket if you must, but haven't you all heard of swaddling clothes? Like from Jesus in a manger type stories? Yep, swaddling clothes involve tightly wrapping a baby in fabric to restrict their arm movements. Why? Because their poor motor control / skills mean that their arms flail uncontrollably and unsettle the child. Having them wrapped up allows them to relax, and to rest. Yes, this practice has been around for thousands of years.
- That vehicle is parrot *operated*, not parrot powered.
- Binocular soccer was a one-off stunt for a Japanese gameshow, it's not a real thing.

The Seller of Smoke
The travelling salesman trope, and it's implications, are as old as the hills. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TravelingSalesman
In that case shouldn't the narrative have been shown from the point of view of the village occupants? The closest we saw to them suffering any consequences of their actions was a distant puff of purple smoke as the Smoke Seller laughed.
If let the buyer beware was the point, then show me the buyers suffering the consequences. A massive guard dog turning into a mangy ankle-biter while defending his owner from a burgler, the boy's airplane / rocket turning back into a pointy stick and catching him in the eye, show me the old ladies at a fancy party being laughed at when their fancy bags and clothes turn back into tat, or the major becoming a laughing stock when, as he goes to unveil it to invited dignitaries, his massive monument tuns back into a walking cane (without even a jewel adorning it anymore).
a guy dupes a bunch of people and gets away? sounds like allegory to something pretty obvious to me... religion? politics? maybe its just an animated film...
in case you missed it the point was Buyer Beware, pretty simple. Even the seller himself was an illusion...
The Seller of Smoke
What twist? That the hoaxter's hoax turned out to be a hoax?
I liked the twist ... didn't see it coming. I thought it was refreshing.
UFO's Caught On Camera By International Space Station
Eh, look at the other videos he's uploaded to his channel.
Like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0NziG6suTE&list=UUudxyWoucfDYM54ScIdtz8Q&index=1
Yeeeeeaaaaah. Riiiiiiiiiigggghhht!
The Seller of Smoke
Hmm. What was the point though? We're presented with a lead character who dupes a village and gets away with it. If there was a point / lesson to be learned, wouldn't the story have been told from the villagers point of view? Like "Don't trust the flashy fly by night who rolls into town dealing in magic"? I just don;t get the point of the story being told. Nice enough animation though.

Very Funny Irish News Report
This is from a comedy sketch show in Ireland called Irish Pictorial Weekly

Penn & Teller - Needle Trick
Too obvious: He loads the threaded pins into his mouth at 4:23.
(not that swallowing the other pins isn't impressive! [p.s. I'm a huge pen and teller fan so I ain't hatin'!])
