The number of pitchers who can break the 100 MPH has gone up dramatically in the last decade, with one who can throw 105. But breaking 110 MPH is nearly impossible, due to the physical limitations of human bones, muscles, and ligaments. Unlike other sports where the performance bar is constantly being raised, pitching has most likely plateaued. WIRED talks with some baseball experts to find out why throwing a 110 MPH fastball won't be happening any time soon.

Italian Super Car Toy Car

The mid-1970s produced several striking car designs, perhaps none more memorable than the Lamborghini Countach. This toy car channels the Italian supercar's spirit for a (much) younger crowd. The angular body, vents, and covered headlights are all represented more simply, making for more comfortable hands-on play. Made from ABS plastic with a hand-polished, high-gloss UV coating, it's equally well-suited for display.

Tame Impala / Let It Happen

Tame Impala's "Let It Happen" is a psychedelic masterpiece — and YouTube video artist broccoliboys has made the perfect video for the song. Taking Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, broccoliboys cut out about 153 minutes, streamlining the film to fit the song length without sacrificing the narrative. The video is an excellent edit that changes both the film and the song in an interesting way.
