If you haven’t seen this yet it’s a video of some folks that were hired by the city of Barcelona to help remove pigeons from the city and thus reduce the flying rat’s fecal impact on buildings and landmarks. And this is how they do it: with some sort of magic net-gun , possibly similar to this thing . Whatever it is, one thing’s for certain: Spiderman seriously blew his chance to make a little extra pocket-money. Didn’t you? DIDN’T YOU, PETER PARKER?! *SCREEEECH!* Haha, is, uh, is this thing on? Hit it for a very short video of the other other grayish-white meat.

I can barely sit in traffic for five minutes without screaming and threatening to kill everyone else around me, but nine days ? I’d nuke the entire damn planet . Shit, the moon too . What?! I’m not crapping in the backseat again! Thousands of vehicles were bogged down Monday in a more than 100-kilometre (62-mile) traffic jam leading to Beijing that has lasted nine days and highlights China’s growing road congestion woes. The Beijing-Tibet expressway slowed to a crawl on August 14 due to a spike in traffic by cargo-bearing heavy trucks heading to the capital, and compounded by road maintenance work that began five days later, the Global Times said. The state-run newspaper said the jam between Beijing and Jining city had given birth to a mini-economy with local merchants capitalising on the stranded drivers’ predicament by selling them water and food at inflated prices. No lie: I’d rather do anything than sit in traffic. Including dying . “But GW, it’s just traffic — is it really worth losing your life over?” Yes, it 100% is. “Then, uh, why the hell did you move to LA?” Listen — enough with the questions, smart-ass! China’s nine-day traffic jam stretches 100km [yahoonews] Thanks to Jane, pomeberry and Mikel, who have all rolled out of moving cars before to avoid traffic jams. Impressive!

I know all about Greek mythology because I’ve played through the entire God of War series twice, so I’m practically an expert. Sometimes the producers of Jeopardy even call me to make sure they’ve got their facts right. Having Alex Trebek’s home phone number on speed dial aside, Herpes was the Greek messenger of the gods and wore a pair of sweet-ass winged shoes . Me? I prefer flip-flops. Designed by Jeremy Scott, these ‘Wings 2.0′ will be available from the Adidas online store beginning August 10th. Which, I don’t know if you remember or not, is two days before my birthday. AND I WANT THESE SHOES. I believe I can fly I believe I can jump clear over this guy Think about it every night and day Spread my wing shoes and uh-oh — Not flying as high as I would have hoped BOOM — face-full of crotch! Hit the jump for a couple more shots of the flying shoes.

Remember the Terrafugia Transition ? The $194K street-legal car that can turn into a plane ? Well it just got Federal Aviation Administration approval for use in the US. Whee! People will be flying into shit before you know it. The Transition was designed as a “light sport” aircraft, the smallest kind of private aeroplane under FAA classification, with a maximum weight of 1,320lb. But the manufacturers found it impossible to fit the safety features - airbags, crumple zones and roll cage, for instance - that are required for road vehicles into that weight. Uniquely, however, the FAA has granted the Transition an exemption - allowing it to be classified as a light sport aircraft despite being 120lb over the limit. Light sport aircraft licences require just 20 hours’ flying time, making them much easier to obtain than full private licences. No airbags, crumple zone or roll cage and it only takes 20 flying hours to get your license — what would possibly go wrong? A : You buzz my house and I shoot you down with a rocket launcher. Hit the jump for several more shots of the Transformer, including one with a t-rex (seriously).

This is a shot of a Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet returning from a trip through space and time . Sure you could argue those are just vapor trails, but you’d sound like an idiot and nobody will ever take you seriously again. Not that we do now anyways. Just sayin’, remember the time you tried to argue there’s an internet post office for sorting email? Okay so you were right about that one. Hit the jump for a second shot taken shortly after. Like, super-shortly after. I’m talking fractions of a second.

Note: Video is after the jump because I’d prefer all the shitted-pants on the second page for easier cleanup. Q : What’s cooler than an autonomous quadrocopter that can fly through windows and perch on vertical surfaces? A : Everything, including drowning. We don’t know whether we should be terrified or overjoyed. We’ve just come across a video demo from the University of Pennsylvania’s GRASP Lab that shows an autonomous quadrotor helicopter performing “precise aggressive maneuvers.” You’ve got to watch the video to see just how amazingly this thing moves, it’s 100% terrifying. And speaking of terrifying: my face in the mirror when I woke up this morning. Joking — I’M THE FAIREST BITCH THIS SIDE OF FAIRYTALE LAND. Suck it, Snow White! … … Haha, what do you mean, “after all the dwarfs”? Hit it for the aerial acrobatics.

This is a video of an F-18 Hornet buzzing some guy’s head so close you can taste the jet fuel . Now I’m not saying this thing would kill you if it hit you, but it would certainly mess your hair up. Also, not to brag or nothin’, but one time I let a jet land ON MY FACE. Now who’s the man?! F-18 Hornet Ultra Low High Speed Fly By [todaysbigthing] Thanks to Matt, who once flew a prop-plane through a barn and accidentally hit a chicken.

China. They all seem to come from China. And let me tell you something: I’m sure as hell not eating the cat food there. A kitty in Chongqing, China, is getting some extra-special attention these days: The furry feline has developed wings! Though born looking completely normal, once the cat hit the age of 1, he began growing wing-shaped appendages on either side of his spine. According to the Telegraph’s report, scientists believe the appendages developed due to grooming habits, a genetic defect or a hereditary skin condition. Nice one, scientists. How about you just admit you have no effing clue. That said, I change my mind about not eating Chinese cat food (zing, local Chinese restaurant). I’m gonna grow wings! Climb aboard ladies, I’ll take you places no other woman has ever been. The moon! My bedroom . Washed the dinosaur sheets just for you baby. Also, I have a mini-fridge. With snacks. Cat in China grows a pair of wings [msnbc] Thanks to Sharkey and Paul, who are holding out for flying dogs like that funky bitch Falcore the Luck Dragon from The Neverending Story .
