A Patternless Glow-in-the Dark Jigsaw Puzzle For Driving Yourself Crazy

Want to go insane? Well, you’re in luck, because Japanese puzzle manufacturer Beverly has released this glow-in-the-dark Jigsaw Puzzle from Hell. Available from the Japan Trends shop for $42, it’s a 150-piece imageless jigsaw puzzle with phosphorescent pieces that glow in the dark. I can already imagine myself eating a handful of pieces in a fit of madness.

You may recall Beverly’s previous posted all white and all black jigsaw puzzles, but those were 1,000 and 2,000 pieces. At least this one is only 150 pieces. Sounds like a piece of cake by comparison. Still, not a piece of cake I’d want to eat. I know that sounds blasphemous, but I mean it.

I typically do jigsaw puzzles as a nice way to relax, not stress out and yell at myself for buying a patternless glow-in-the-dark jigsaw puzzle in the first place. What was I thinking? Not about my mental health, that’s for sure. That said, I did remove two pieces and regift the puzzle to a family member.

Colin Furze Builds 360 Swing as Tall as His House

Remember when you were a kid and you would try to swing over the bar? Well, since Colin Furze never grew up, he’s fulfilling his childhood fantasy at a terrifying scale. Safety equipment? Who needs that?

The the apex of the swing is about 31 feet high, and the A-frame supports of this counterweighted swing are as tall as Furze’s Lincolnshire, UK home. Watch him do his thing and try not to wince.

This is just further proof that Colin is crazy, but you have to admire his tenacity and bravery. He could easily fall from over two stories up there.  One of these days, I’m afraid he is going to hurt himself with one of his builds, but it sure is fun to watch him do his thing.

If you think this was nuts, Colin indicates at the end of the video that he might add some power to the rig. 360º jetpack swing, anyone?

Jetman soars over Rio, flies circles around historical landmarks (video)

Jetman soars over Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas, flies circles around historical landmarks

Why would you want to leap out of a perfectly good aircraft? To fly a winged jetpack over the city of Rio de Janeiro, of course. It sounds nuts, but it's just a day in the life for Yves Rossy, the self proclaimed "Jetman" who flew over the Grand Canyon last year. Since soaring over the Rio Grande, Rossy has pitted his carbon-fiber wings against a rally car on Top Gear, taken to the skies over Abu Dhabi and, most recently, buzzed Brazil's famous Christ the Redeemer statue. Jetman rocketed past the monument on an 11 minute flight earlier this week, beginning his journey by dropping out of a helicopter over Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas. Rossy pulled his Rocketeer trick and eventually parachuted to safety on Copacabana beach. Sound fun? Head past the break to see the man in action. Us? We'll keep our feet planted on terra firma, thanks.
