Bellyflop Competition
Hear that? That is the sound of pain. Oslo, Norway, is home to the official dødsing competition, more commonly known in English as bellyflopping. The goal of the sport is to curl into a ball a split second before hitting the water, saving the competitors a painful slap and scoring points with the judges. Judging by the footage, it's every bit as hard as it sounds.

Sushi Robot
It may be the future of sushi, but the future of good sushi? We're not so sure. Built by Kawasaki, this bot is more of a sushi assembly machine, stacking precut pieces of fish on formed rice. And not to mention that wasabi from a tube. Although this seems to be just the beginning of an animatronic chef, we don't think Jiro has anything to worry about anytime soon.
Evolution of Racing Helmets
Rule #1 of racing: Protect your dome. Keeping the grey matter inside the skull has become a top priority in racing, and the helmet has evolved to meet that challenge. From the early days when helmets were little more than scarves to keep out dust, dirt, and exhaust, to modern impact-resistant lids of Kevlar and carbon fiber, helmets serve both form and function.
