We interupt this blog for the following entertainment review…
As Top Fans of M. Night Shyamalan, Top Men went to see The Happening this weekend. We have extensively exercised the scientific method (gratuitously recited in the film) and reached a conclusion…
It was not written and directed by Mr. Shyamalan, but by his twelve year old daughter Saleka Shyamalan.
What a twist!
(We hope we’re right for his sake.)
We now return to our irregularly scheduled blog…
Before you watch the videos below, you should go play with Line Rider for a few minutes – then you’ll appreciate the INSANE amount of INSANE work by some INSANE guy.
Monumental – 35,000 lines, 5 minutes in length
Transcendental – 126,000 lines, 4 months to make
If those give you trouble the YouTube versions are here.

We interupt our normally scheduled post for this amazing optical brain-hack illusion. It takes a minute, but the effect is bizzare.

It’s been a couple years since we posted the World of Sand particle simulation. For any aficionados – take a look at this newer, crazy adaptation. Powder, magma, seeds, water, fire, fireworks, wind, superballs, explosives, and more.
For some quick fun – add plenty of water, a good helping of nitro, and finally a good swoosh of magma. Oh and set the BG to various settings for some amazing effects! Such power at our fingertips.
We’re not sure what it is about crazy 2D particle simulations that intrigue Top Men, but we think it has something to do with watching how the universe might work – on a very small, but still unpredictable scale.

Here’s a movie of yet another way to wile away the hours amazing physics application that is fun Top Women and Top Men like to play find important to analyze.
Ah, so much to enjoy study here at the lab!
(Here is the prototype if you want to play experiment on your own.)

Top Women and Top Men understand the benefits of staying active – not only in body but in mind. We like to give our brains a regular hearty workout. Here is how we pumped mental iron this morning while admittedly exercising a bit of our usual competitive natures as well.
As for the competition: Top Men took a stunning early lead, but Top Women persevered; closing the gap. It was neck and neck (or should we say brain stem and brain stem) for a while, but… well… let’s just say that Top Men can take some solace in the fact that they can still beat Top Women at arm wrestling.
Nothing gets your heart racing in the morning like a fine cup of coffee and some heady competition!
UPDATE (11/13): Top Men have discovered a technique to once again take the lead, and prove our superiority: cheating. Here is a hint on how. (Thanks Brice!)

Once again Top Men are awed by the sheer guts and insanity in the young of our species. There are not a lot of words that do a better job of describing what these swoopers do than “insane”.
Enjoy the video, while basking in the fact that the most dangerous thing that you do is drink expired Odwalla.
