Summer is on its way to the southern hemisphere and soon the days will be so (unbearably) hot that your ice cream will melt. Speaking of, watch this deliciously hypnotic time-lapse video of ice cream melting.

The awesome dude in question is musician Anthony Vincent of Ten Second Songs, an outfit that creates custom songs and jingles. Following on from his previous 20 Styles covers of Katy Perry’s “Dark Horse” and Jason Darulo’s “Talk Dirty“, Vincent applies his considerable talents to covering one of Linkin Park’s most recognizable songs, “In the End”. He channels Enya, Bob Marley, Boyz II Men, and Frank Sinatra among the 20 styles used in his performance. Check it out below.

Nicki Minaj’s famous booty twerks centre stage in the (NSFW) music video to Anaconda. That thing is so big it needs its own postal code.
Two of Nicki’s biggest South African fans have decided to pay tribute in their own special way. From the same people who brought you Hipsters and Hastags and the Payday Song, come a remix of Anaconda that’s certainly a roar from the rear.

Medical personnel have access to the best equipment. Orthopedic physician Dr. Noah Weiss is no exception. The good doctor partnered with graphic designer Cameron Drake to produce a set of X-ray GIFs that show how the joints in our human body move relative to each other. It’s a beautiful orchestration. Check them out after the jump.
The polar panorama effect turns your wide-angle photos into marvellous miniature planets, and we’ve seen nothing as eye-catching as this “little planet” created by Dubai Film.
The Dubai International Airport (IATA location identifier: DXB) is the third busiest airport in the world with over 27 million travellers having used it this year. This mesmerising time-lapse video uses the 88,000 photographs that were captured over a period of 30 hours. The video centres on the DXB control tower as over 1,000 planes land and take off around it. You’ll notice that Terminal 3 serves as the hour hand of a clock and does a full rotation of 24 hours.
The video is shot in glorious 4K and if you like your singers Irish and from the 90s, you’re in for a double treat. You should definitely watch it in HD and in fullscreen.

Woah Dude, Epic Roof Jump!
While sports people are tumbling all over the place in the Commonwealth Games, Ethan Swanson is engaging in some urban gymnastics in Chicago, Illinois. The professional stunt man donned some GoPro gear and decided to leap off one roof onto another and slide down it, in the hopes of landing with his feet firmly planted on a neighbouring spiral staircase. It’s high degree of difficulty, did Swanson nail the execution? Find out below.

Time flies when you’re having fun. It was three short weeks ago since we acceptable the challenge of Mission Samsung. For this specific challenge we were sent a 40” Samsung Series 6 Smart LED TV and tasked with a set of missions. In case you missed them, you can catch up on missions one and two. What follows is some of our notes that didn’t make it into the missions and a wrap-up of our experience with Smart LED TV.

OMG, Exercise!
Last week, I received details of the second mission in Mission Samsung‘s blogger challenge and a certain word sent a shiver down the uneven musculature of my spine.
Exercise.
Exercise. The closest I’ve come to exercise is wearing a t-shirt with the word on it. Eggs are sides for bacon, amiright?
EXERCISE.
Honestly, I get tired just thinking about it.

Batman Does Death Metal
Batman rocks out with his cape out in this most hilarious music video. The caped crusader teams up with Robin (drums), Red Hood (bass), and Nightwing (guitar) for a head-banging rendition of Face Fisted by DETHKLOK.
So strong my face is
You punch, break fingers
Kick me, you’re limping
Stab me, you’re bleeding
I am be angerous now
You throwing rock at me
Hit eye and it no hurt me
I’m strong, you’re not
You’re not
The lyrics are extremely fitting for the situations that Batman often finds himself in and the animations are hilarious to boot. Check out BATMETAL below.

Take Me To The Movies
Nothing beats the excitement of watching a movie on the silver screen but at R75 a ticket, it’s hardly the attraction it once was. Catching it on the home cinema certainly diminishes the scale but at least there’s never a queue for snacks, the toilets are clean, and the cinema doesn’t smell of foot. With that in mind, we planned a special evening.
If you’re familiar with Flight of the Conchords, you’ll know that Wednesday night is business time. But for Mission Samsung, we put our romantic interlude aside for a group activity. It’s not what you’re thinking, sies on you :p
