Why are Birds Toothless?


Researchers have discovered a dinosaur species that shed its "milk teeth" but did not replace them, a finding that not only changes its anatomy but also explains why birds have beaks and not teeth....

How to Train Your Dragon to Breath Fire

You don’t get the name “PyroGirl” because you like to bake cookies and cakes. Spoiler alert: It’s because she likes fire! That’s why PyroGirl recently released a video tutorial where she demonstrates how to create a mini flamethrower out of a Toothless action figure.

How awesome is that? This girl knows how to train her dragon to spit fire. She converted Toothless into a mini flamethrower using IV tubing and pressurized lighter gas. It is a simple method. You will need IV tubing, hot glue or super glue, a drill, thin wire, a Q-tip, denatured alcohol, lighter gas refill canister, a lighter or matches, and a toy dragon.

You probably have the toy already. Hers blows flames between 1.5 to 2 feet long. It is pretty awesome. Because fire!

How to Train your Dragon Toothless Couch

For the first episode of the third season of “Super-Fan Builds” the folks at AWE went all out and created a couch shaped like Toothless from “Dragons: Race to the Edge”. They built it for a hardcore fan of How to Train Your Dragon. I wish I could lay around on a huge dragon like this all day.

This couch looks pretty awesome. They really did a great job with that head. Who wouldn’t want to cuddle with this dragon? You can see the whole build in the video below.

As for the episode itself, it’s obviously sponsored by Dreamcast, and it all seems kinda forced and extra fake, but whatever, keep building cool stuff like this and I’ll still watch. That couch is super cute though.
