Passing Out In A Centrifuge

Humans were not designed for acceleration, jerk, and G-forces, yet we travel at speeds that force us to endure those things. How do you keep breathing? How do you keep blood flowing to where you need it? It takes training, and still doesn't always work. Tom Scott visits the Royal Air Force training centrifuge in Farnbrough, UK, so that you don't have to. (via Digg)

How These Iconic Songs Got Their Names

YouTuber Walrus Pepper Skelter quickly runs through how 55 songs got the titles they have. The explanations often have nothing to do with the song's lyrical content, just the titles. For example, we all know that "Layla" is about Patti Boyd, but the name itself came from elsewhere. A few could use further explanation, like explaining to young folks that Teen Spirit was the name of a deodorant. The list slips sometimes, with no explanation for the title "Aqualung," just the lyrical inspiration. The video is text-based, so you'll have to look at it. (via the Awesomer)

Fire Maidens of Outer Space

Fire Maidens of Outer Space is a 1956 British B-movie that combines sex and space flight, typical for the era. Astronauts discover a community of beautiful women living on the 13th moon of Jupiter. They are human, having descended from those who escaped Atlantis when it sunk. How that happened does not matter. They need husbands!  (Thanks WTM!)

Kitten with an Exoskeleton

Squid was born with a deformity in his back legs. He lucked out when he came into the care of Drs. Lauren and Daniel Anthony, married veterinarians in Frisco, Texas. They took the kitten in and made splints of different kinds to keep his legs straight while he learned to walk properly. But he needed more, specifically a moveable brace to keep his hips aligned. There are such things, but none small enough for a kitten, so the docs had to make their own- out of LEGO pieces! They explained at Instagram that "he has a flexural tendon deformity of his hocks. The Lego exoskeleton is helping to prevent abduction of the hips!" You might or might not understand that, but we are happy that they do. I guess it's true that you can make anything if you have enough LEGO pieces.

A Japanese Take on American Sushi

Jun Yoshizuki of Jun's Kitchen makes American-style sushi with what seems like the entire contents of a grocery store to the beat of a fast, bouncy soundtrack. You don't even need to like sushi to enjoy the efficient moves of his practiced technique. His "studio audience" consists of his curious and appreciative cats Haku and Nagi, who are both well-fed and well-trained. We can assume that Poki is in another room with the door shut.
