After a few weeks away to save Australia from the ravages of apocalyptic flooding (except for Brisbane, screw those tools), it’s time for a triple dose of Friday Links.

How are croissants made, really? Well … they basically grind up those Keebler elves and suck out the delicious marrow which is where the flavor comes from.

How hard is it to hit a clay pigeon with a golf ball? Pretty damn hard, it would appear. Although I am just assuming that there were tons of shots that weren’t shown on the video, otherwise I guess it takes like 10 shots and is pretty easy.

What time is it? Fast Five time, baby. I’m going to ignore that all the other films in the series happened and just think of this as the successor to Tokyo Drift, the greatest film of all time. This is the kitchen sink approach, but whatever, I’m cool with it.

Keep reading for indoor skydiving, MMA ninja kicks and the luck list 2010. Also on a logistics note, I’m going to Australia for the next few weeks, so Friday Links will be MIA until mid-January. Hopefully it won’t be KIA. read more

Michael Buble comes off as a bit of a douche (ok, a big douche) but I have to admit, this encounter with a 15 year old at a recent show is pretty bad ass.

The absurd jump rope girls in some Navy performance. They could really tighten it up a little and this is a little obscure, but some of it is badass. Jump roping is hard.

Nicholas Cage losing his shit: the montage. I didn’t even know some of these films existed – but I think this is the crowning work of Nic’s career.

Keep reading for … well, not much to be honest. There are a select few gems below but overall people are SLACKING on Thanksgiving. This year I’m clearly not thankful for the internet. Yeah, I’m looking at you. read more

Holy crap – take a step back skydiving, bungee jumping and grizzly wrestling … step aside trout throwing, penguin surfing and road rash slip n slide … we have a new extreme sports champion: Speedflying. Jesus that looks dangerous.

This is not just the greatest ever Modern Warfare 2 commentary, but quite possibly the greatest thing to ever happen. Also this guy is clearly a huge psychopath, as you can verify from his other videos.

Not that I’ve ever done it, but I can imagine that clay pigeon target shooting is difficult enough with a shotgun. To do it with a compound bow to me is even more impressive than if you were doing it with a rifle.

The Evolution of Balance. Ok, so bike stunts were pretty cool, but now we have unicycle stunts. Where does evolution go from here? 2 wheels … 1 wheel … I think you see where I’m going with this.
