Jumping up steps on your head

Until we saw this video, we didn't even know "jumping up steps on your head" was something you could actually do -- let alone earn a Guinness World Record for.

Call us old fashioned, but there's something about our legs that make them so suitable for jumping with in our eyes. China's Sun Xi Zhong begs to differ, emphatically proving us wrong by hopping up fifteen steps live on Japanese TV.

Genius Russian madmen create cocktail-making typewriter

That's right, it's a typewriter... but not as we know it. It can't stamp out a letter for you, but it can mix you a drink. A very weird, multi-coloured, word-based drink.

As you'll see from the video below, it's a complicated contraption -- all tubes and vials and buttons and such -- but it's an entrancing watch: seeing it get made as well as in action.

Essentially, the end result is a drink-making machine that allows you to "type" out a word and get a drink from it. Sure, you can't use the same letter twice, but hey -- it's a cocktail-making typewriter!
