The ton of bricks versus a ton of feathers problem is a blast from the past for all of us whose third-grade teachers assigned this problem back in grade school. It's a simple application of Newtonian physics with sneaky wording that tripped us up as kids, and still (apparently) does to some of us now!

These Bumbling Baddies Are So Close... Yet So Far

The vast majority of people on the street legitimately do need your help... that's why we're glad Kazakh police busted this two-armed man faking a one-arm disability to get into your wallet. Our inexperienced German convenience store bandit could probably learn a few things from that one-armed hustler, though.

Sewage Hits The Fan... Er, Car & DIY Human Seatbelt

Usually, you've only got to worry about mischevious birds and their droppings when you're out cruising in your spotless car. This time, the entire Russian city of St. Petersburg pitched in for the massive, disgusting mess that literally explodes all over a shocked motorist.

We hope this improvised transport (and the guy on top) makes it home in once piece! via ViralHog View Now
