Breaking sticks is not a job for an amateur. It takes years of training and dedication to your craft before you can use one of the largest bones in your body to break a fucking stick that your average four-year old would have broken down to shards after an hour of typical use.
Despite the massive failure on display in this video, we have to give the instructor at least some credit. He certainly talks an impressive game, even going so far as to blame the ridiculous shorts he’s wearing on the fact that he needs his shin to be exposed for full stick breaking effectiveness reasons. This had all the makings of personal highlight reel footage for awhile there. But then, he tries to break the stick. It’s just one sad display of futility after that. And we love it.

There have been many different Anatomy designs which surfaced lately that are amazing in detail and theme, so for further education and entertainment, we gathered a great collection of 32 of the best Anatomy Designs aimed for Geeks. If there are some additional ones you feel are a must for such a collection, please share with us in the comments.
Special mention goes out to a few designers who have created the majority of the following Anatomy designs: Jason Freeny, Mads Peitersen and Michael Paulus. You can find many more of their creations, designs and ideas at their personal sites.
The Super Mario Bros Anatomy shows what one of the most
popular video game characters is really made of…or would have if he
was real.
Another great design is the Xbox 360 Controller Anatomy which many Xbox
fans would agree makes sense as this controller practically becomes
part of you when you play.
Just like the Xbox controller, the PS3 Controller Anatomy is a way to prove to
Playstation fans that their favorite consoles are an actual
breathing specimen.
The Wii Console Anatomy is a beautiful creation
that shows what our actual Nintendo consoles look like inside.
If you ever wondered why Sackboy is so lovable, the Sackboy
Anatomy shows that he is just like a human being…and is just as
fragile.
This Pacman Tattoo and Pacman Skull do not necessarily show too much of the
famous character’s anatomy, but it is a start.
We have seen a variety of crazy Mr. Potato Head Designs before, but the
Potato Head Anatomy is by far the most
entertaining and creative of the bunch.
The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man Anatomy by Jason
brings back many memories (both good and bad), and also provides
intricate details never seen before.
We love Domo here at Walyou, and the anatomy of Domo by Mr.
Freeny is a wonderful addition.
We all remember the Lego Figurines from our childhood, but we never
would have thought this is what they were made from as Jason
clearly illustrates.
Many would argue that a Gummy Bear is made up of many ingredients
that aren’t necessarily healthy, but with Jason’s presentation…they
seem harmless.
Another popular character is Nemo the fish, with its anatomy shown
in a great sculpture by Freeny.
Without too much actual lines in the movies, the Toy Story alien
became extremely popular, but I am sure kids won’t like Jason’s
Anatomy image as Geeks would.
Fans of Gingerbread Sculptures would appreciate the new version of
the Gingerbread Man, as presented by Jason Freeny again.
Being as crunchy as they usually are, no one would expect the
Goldfish anatomy to look as seen here.
Geeky girls will probably not appreciate seeing the insides of the
famous Kitty, but the amazing details may assist in saving a life
in the future.
The colorful pony makes its return with a detailed sculpture by Mr.
Freeny which breaks it down for Science girls.
I always thought that Balloon Animals are filled with air, but
according to Jason…that is just a myth.
A 3D White Shark Toy which is actually realistic and
could help with your Anatomy studies.
While there is an actual Disassembly Video of the iPhone 4, the iPhone 4 Anatomy shows there are real organs
within the popular Apple device.
For those who aren’t iPhone fans, Android is the next choice, and
this cool Android Anatomy makes the mascot a little more
human.
Camera enthusiasts have always dreamed of knowing what makes their
camera tick, and with this additional design from Mads Peitersen it
is finally in simple view.
Another great creation from Mads is this beautiful Turntable, which
would probably excite DJ’s and retro Vinyl fans.
There are many different Toaster Designs, but the Toaster Anatomy makes you wonder who or what is
toasting your bread in the morning.
Here are some great cartoon sketches by Michael Paulus that present
Charlie Brown and Snoopy, Betty Boop, Fred Flinstone and even
Pikachu.
The amazing Rectum Bar in Vienna “…takes its shape from the human
digestive system: starting with the tongue, continuing to the
stomach, moving through the small and the large intestines and
exiting through the anus.”
A funny image of an urban thug’s anatomy.

On May 28, 2008, a funnel touched down in the farm fields of central Iowa. Within minutes it grew into a massive, mile-wide monster. Damage surveys would later determine that the tornado was an EF5, the most powerful type of tornado, capable of reducing rows of well-constructed homes down to bare foundations. It roared through rural farmland for several miles before then heading due east towards the small town of Parkersburg.
Surveillance cameras were rolling at the First State Bank building in Parkersburg, a little before 5pm that Sunday. One exterior camera, used to record an outdoor ATM, showed calm weather only 20 seconds before the town was obliterated. What the camera captured next is nothing short of a nightmare.
The First State Bank was perhaps the sturdiest structure in the path of the tornado. Built with heavy brick and stone masonry, the building was one of the only things left standing in the Southern part of town. But the winds were able to penetrate through the bank's windows and unreinforced walls, and footage from inside shows how quickly it became filled with deadly debris.
The First State Bank's tornado footage is part of a growing collection of surveillance videos that are giving us a first-hand look at the fury of a tornado.
Only three weeks before the Parkersburg event, surveillance camera's at an equipment company outside of Leighton, Alabama captured an EF2 tornado as it tore through a parking lot. The tornado touched down only seconds before it came into frame and contained an embedded suction spot powerful enough to toss several cars and trucks into the air.
Back in 1998, a deadly outbreak of tornadoes occurred in central Florida. A newly opened Winn Dixie supermarket still had a few people inside when one of the early morning tornadoes roared over the store. Surveillance footage shows the powerful winds blowing through the plate glass doors at the entrance of the store and filling the air with debris and candy.
More recently, on August 19, 2009, a small tornado touched down near downtown Minneapolis. Although it was weak, the tornado still packed winds strong enough to blow out hundreds of windows and damage the roofs of several dozen homes and businesses in the area.
Incredible tornado footage is becoming more and more prevalent as the use of video and surveillance cameras continues to increase. And as unlucky as the businesses were that captured these images, their footage gives us a unique and fascinating view that few people have seen and actually lived through.

Although you may not agree with every decision George Lucas has made over the years, nobody can deny the guy has a pretty good idea how to run a successful marketing campaign. Hey, if selling toys hadn't been been part of the picture, we might have even seen a different ending to Return of the Jedi!
Lots of companies have tried to cash in on Lucas' money machine since the first Star Wars came out in 1977 by paying homage to the film and its characters in commercials, including a certain evil Sith lord who you wouldn't think would make the best pitchman. But it turns out he is!
Check out 11 of our favorite commercials featuring Darth Vader, and let us know which ones you think are the most memorable.
Darth uses the force to help improve his poor golf skills. Makes sense to us!
If Vader only had a set of Energizer batteries, the whole Star Wars saga might have ended differently.
Turns out those Jedi mind tricks don't always work.
Even Lord Vader is excited by the presence of Heidi Klum.
Darth takes a stand against global warming. (We guess he only want to conquer temperate planets.)
Vader and friends (if you can call them that) celebrate Christmas.
Darth doesn't like theater audiences making noise during the movie any more than the rest of us.
This vintage ad for Nintendo's first Star Wars game shows the only way any of us will ever be able to defeat Lord Vader.
Starring Red, Yellow ... and Darth Vader
I don't know about you, but I'd never tell Darth Vader to try breathing more quietly.
Strange ... somehow we always felt Darth would choose red meat over fish.

There are moments when your television seems to be broadcasting from another planet. These are those moments. In no particular order, TIME presents the most baffling and hilarious infomercials ever
In his 1931 classic Epic of America, James Truslow Adams defines the American dream as the ability of both men and women to reach their fullest potential. The American fitness dream follows the same idea, but with a slight addendum: minimal time and effort. That's where the Hawaii Chair makes its retail mark, because, honestly, who has time to go to the gym? With the Hawaii Chair, you can "take the work out of your workout," keeping fit while you sit at your desk. How? A 2,800-r.p.m. motor positioned beneath the seat simulates the hula motion at multiple speeds to tone muscle. It claims to be ideal when handling all work-related tasks, from answering phone calls to filing papers. But as Ellen DeGeneres discovered, pouring a glass of water proves to be a stretch.

We’ve heard it said that technology moves, and improves, at a blistering pace. We, of course, agree with this statement, being in the fast-paced technology world ourselves. But for many, it can be hard to gain a sense of how far we’ve come in such a short period of time. That’s where the Information Age comes in! Thanks to the advent of YouTube, classic commercials from the 1980’s are easily accessible online and display the astonishing advancements that a few short decades can produce. Below are 11 of our favorite retro commercials, specially selected for their impressive graphics, memorable messages, crazy characters, and painfully outdated products.
Most adults over the age of 18 can remember the thrill of playing the classic Nintendo system. It was Nintendo that gave birth to some of the biggest titles in video game history, including Mario, Yoshi, Kirby, and more. This commercial from the ’80s shows the original system complete with the legendary Rob the Robot and Zapper gun.
The massive Centel was one of the first consumer cell phones on the market. This particular commercial, looking something like a dream sequence from Saved By The Bell, shows the main character plowing through off-road territory while comfortably talking on his Centel, clearly showcasing its versatility. Call us cynical, but it’s doubtful that the phone received full service and held a call while dashing through rivers and woods. If it did, then perhaps today’s smartphones can learn a thing or two by going back 30 years.
The Commodore VIC-20 is considered by many to be the earliest affordable color computer. Complete with an 8-bit chip and gaming joystick, this machine was the first home computer to sell over 1 million units. Watch and rejoice as William Shatner, the classic TV spokesman, beams in to inform you of the great features available on the “wonder computer of the 1980’s.”
When watching this early Windows commercial, it can be hard to believe that the man throwing money and screaming at the camera about clocks and notepads would one day become the Chief Executive Officer of the entire company. Strange as it may seem, the unctuous salesman seen above is none other than Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft since 2000. Ballmer, who has a history of being extraordinarily energetic and unpredictable, has even been known to jump around howling and cheering at company conferences. We can probably all agree that his pride is best exhibited behind Microsoft’s closed doors.
This 1980s Macintosh commercial stands as a testament to how far Apple has come in just a few short decades. The company that once advertised the ability to align text and change fonts has advanced to give the world some of its top selling products, including the iPod, iPhone, MacBook, and iPad. Apple has always known that its strength lay in its graphical ability (which has traditionally surpassed Windows) and even this commercial, despite its hilarity, clearly reflects this selling point.
The Atari video game system was the first gaming system commercially available for home purchase. What the console’s traditionally simplistic games lacked in graphic quality, they made up for in addictive fun. The Atari was also the first system to bring the arcade into the living room with games such as Brick Breaker, Asteroids and Missile Command. These are all classics of gaming history that continue to be duplicated, collected and spun-off today.
The promise and ability to see a photograph instantly, with little to no development time and cost, was a huge selling point that made Polaroid an immensely popular camera and accessory. In fact, those who recall growing up during the Polaroid craze have referred to it as the iPod of their generation; it was a piece of technology that no one left home without, especially if they were on their way to a social gathering. But the innovation that Polaroid brought to the market would, in some ways, cause its very decline. Due in large part to the explosion and technological innovations in digital photography, Polaroid has since stopped selling the iconic instant film seen advertised in the above 1980’s commercial.
Perhaps the most memorable Nike commercial from the 1980’s was the popular Godzilla vs. Charles Barkley spot. Having defeated other formidable opponents including Mothra and Mechagodzilla, the monstrous fighting lizard must square off with yet another towering foe: Sir Charles Barkley. Dubbed “the battle of the century” by the voiceover, the takeaway from the spot is that Barkley has the upper hand in his fight against the monster, not necessarily because of skill, but because he is equipped with a pair of brand new Nike sneakers. Later commercials featured the actual battle as it happened, which resulted in Barkley quickly dunking on the big beast.
This ’80s edition Canon copier was the first of its kind to print two colors at the same time. This early key selling point helped Canon distinguish itself from competitors and catapult itself into the quality, cutting-edge brand they are today. This original TV spot features a geeky boss repeatedly requesting new color copies in order to give his secretary the chance to show off Canon’s brand new dual color capability.
Those who want to see truly retro technology need to look no further than 1980’s RadioShack commercials. Each one features a host of horribly outdated hand-held video games and long gone gadgets of yesteryear. This particular commercial shows a family at Christmas time opening a collection of the hottest electronics on the market, all of them purchased by the mother at the local RadioShack.
Before the lovable Energizer Bunny, Energizer commercials featured an obnoxious and overbearing spokesperson named Jacko Jackson. Jackson was an Australian pro football player who acted in several Energizer commercials, usually lifting enormous batteries over his head and bellowing about how long they last. This particular 1988 commercial features Jackson on a train reminding commuters of the importance of choosing Energizer when they need to make sure the battery lasts.
The Commodore Vic-20 still holds a special place in my heart, it was my first computer and I still have it. Hooked it up a few weeks ago to find it still works too!
I love that Shatner plugged a PC since most of the Trek Episodes were about the “Rise of the machine!”. Way to pick em commodor.

mind=blown!
number 6 actually looks fun. actually several look fun if it was 20 years ago.
I'd rather play several of these over their current day counterparts, but I have a MAME cabinet, so I'm biased.
Is that Michael Jackson in #6?
these are really cool! i love 8 and 16-bit art
the first metal gear was like that
It would be awesome if someone would do this in this decade.
so.. 20 years ago every game looked like an iphone game? i cant remember that..
better depiction of RDR would be sunset riders.
Seriously, some days, I would settle for the 20 years ago World of Warcraft if it would cut down on my lag.
Metal Gear did come out 20 years ago…and that's what it looked like.
The others were funny though.
shouldn't the 'mario cart 20 years ago' be a screen shot of the mario cart that came out 20 years ago?

As a fellow artist, please do remove your watermarks from his artwork. Just because you hang "Starry Night" or "Dogs Playing Poker" on your wall doesn't mean you can put your logo all over them.
I am more compelled by the old version remixes…
This is lazy blogging! The Metal Gear series is over 25 years old, there are 20+ year old Batman games from NES and Atari you could pull screens from (I played them so I know they exist) and Mario Cart is over 18 years old! Do some research and pull the screens! The others are just trite.
"Lol. I didn't see a Final Fantasy Xiii, but other than that, pretty cool"
Are you serious with this? They had that. It was called Final Fantasy.
I believe #18 is a remake of Red Dead Revolver. Red Dead Redemption has no Bosses.
mario cart WAS made 2 decades ago :/
