I always thought I was doing it right. After watching this clip, I realize there is a far simpler method.

If you're anything like me, you adore pinball machines and feel saddened by pinball's tailspin into obscurity in the face of modern video games and consoles. Fortunately, pinball is kept alive through private ownership and people around the world have machines in their offices, their basements, their rumpus rooms. These pinball machines, being notoriously complex and difficult to maintain, often break down and repairs are generally beyond the skills of most private owners.
That's where the Pinball Ninja comes in. Not only does he travel and do repairs, he documents each fix with photos, history, and commentary. Absolutely fascinating site that will send you reeling in the years, and you might learn a thing or two about how to keep your own machine alive.
He's an Indian, and Brazilian officials have concluded that he's the last survivor of an uncontacted tribe. They first became aware of his existence nearly 15 years ago and for a decade launched numerous expeditions to track him, to ensure his safety, and to try to establish peaceful contact with him. In 2007, with ranching and logging closing in quickly on all sides, government officials declared a 31-square-mile area around him off-limits to trespassing and development.
It's meant to be a safe zone. He's still in there. Alone.

It only took him 859 days to walk the more-than-4000 miles. After an estimated 50,000 mosquito bites, getting shocked by an electric eel and suffering torturous misery, Ed Stafford ended his journey with a dip in the Atlantic.
For more than two years, he made daily contributions to his blogs.

Comedic genius and raconteur Bill Murray rarely gives interviews - only 4 in the past decade, as a matter of fact. So, when GQ magazine managed to get the man out from behind his 800-number and in front of a digital recorder, you can bet it's gonna be an interesting read.

You know how you're always getting confused when people say things like "I'm five foot seven"? Seriously, what does an inch even look like? Shaqtion replaces these complicated inches and pounds with something that everyone can relate to: Your size, relative to Shaquille O'Neal.
You thought the weirdness ended with 'Grand Dragon'? Not even close, buddy.

No, it's not political or economic - it's what side of the road to drive on when going between the two. In HK, they drive on the left, and mainland China drives on the right. A Dutch design firm offers up this clever and simple solution.
The Deepwater Horizon spill that's fucking up the gulf coast is huge - 2500 square miles at last count - and if you don't mind installing their little plugin, this site uses Google Earth to let you overlay the spill on top of your favorite cities to give you a sense of scale.
I dropped it on top of Phoenix. Damn.

If you've bought a game from GameStation recently, better run to a mirror to see if you still cast a reflection - they've surreptitiously claimed your soul when you weren't watching.

The Grand Union Canal in Paddington Basin, London, has a unique method of transport for foot traffic: a curling bridge.
Look who showed up in the UK on Google's streetview.
Don't be all surprised if you show up to some competition - the internets can make signs too, and have no compunction about yoinking your coverage.
Film critic Roger Ebert's gone through some hard times - his battles with thyroid and salivary gland cancer have left him unable to talk, eat, or drink. He communicates through his blog, and survives on nutrients pumped into his stomach through a gastro tube.
While Roger will never again enjoy eating food, what he really misses is the act of dining, the social aspect of sharing meals and conversation.

Brad, previously known as the big-dick trader at Aexecor, is now known as 'the guy who accidentally bought all that coal'. Here's his tale.
Warm fuzzies all around at the Aramingo Diner, as a couple decided to anonymously pay for another table's meal along with their own. When that table tried to pay their tab, they were told that a stranger had paid for their dinner, so they decided to do the same. This set off a chain reaction that lasted for over 2 hours and 20 tables.
Nothing quite holds my attention like a good documentary.

World's smallest mother to give birth for the third time.
Now I just as easily could have put this under the idiot topic, but I just can't stop wondering if she gives good knee...
