A demonstration of how to defend yourself against a knife-wielding assailant, breaking several bones in the process.

Not likely to work in a real encounter, but interesting.

Make yourself a very inexpensive smoker out of a cardboard box. Pretty neat! I gotta try this myself =) The dude is kind of annoying, but oh well.

My younger brother is gay, and that's why I've felt compelled to occasionally bring up gay and lesbian issues here on the Sift. I've learned from him that realizing you're gay or bisexual isn't as easy as you might think sometimes. I hope this video helps someone.

Attempting to put the first condom rocket into orbit. Most condoms are powered by internal propulsion systems. Catastrophic failure can lead to conception, or this.

This is the same guy who made the Roomba PacMan: http://www.videosift.com/video/Roomba-turned-into-Pacman

From YouTube description:

This is my first roomba hacking.
I can say it is a kind of warning for the society taken over by robots. It is a noble challenge to take the human job back from the robots.
In short, I changed my wonderful roomba into an ordinary dull vacuum clearner using a remote controller of Wii :-)

Clipping a cerebral aneurysm

My prior post demonstrated GDC coiling of an aneurysm. Some still must be surgically clipped. To access the aneurysm, the brain tissue is carefully separated, creating a tunnel down to the blood vessel. Some aneurysms are easier to get to than others. The video explains the process from there.

Coiling a cerebral aneurysm

Nice and short animation of GDC coils (Guglielmi Detachable Coils) being deployed in an aneurysm. Aneurysms of the cerebral vessels occur twice as often in females as males. Rupture of the aneurysm is heralded by a "thunderclap" headache, one that hits you like a hammer. Rupture is fatal in about 50% of cases. Prior to coiling, aneurysms were treated by placing a surgical clip across the neck. Some aneurysms are not amenable to coiling and still have to be clipped. Cerebral aneurysms are typically accessed thru the femoral (groin) artery. Guide wires are fed thru a sheath in the artery and maneuvered into the cerebral circulation. The video takes you from there. Platelets adhere to the coils and a clot forms within the aneurysm. Over several weeks, the lining of the artery grows over the old neck, sealing off the aneurysm. Although not too challenging from an anesthetic standpoint, these procedures are fun to watch.
