Here's a custom project where a guy made a hot air balloon shaped like Darth Vader's head. The article about it is somewhat light on details but it does say they sent a 3D object file to the hot air balloon manufacturers�and then made custom modifications once they received the final balloon.

The guy in this video takes one for the team by having a water balloon thrown at his head. A video is then recorded at around 1000 frames per second of the water balloon hitting him and spraying everywhere.

Guy puts on a skydiving wing suit, straps a jet engine to each of his feet, and jumps off of a hot air balloon for a good time in this video.� It doesn't look like it would be very easy to land with the jet engines on his feet but I assume he just pops a parachute.

Here's a funny beer commercial which plays on the same�idea that the "One Red Paperclip" guy used which was to keep trading away an item for a bigger item until he got a house. In the commercial the guy starts out with a bottle of beer and then trades it for a portable radio. He trades that for some balloons which he trades for a katana which he trades for a rack of suits and on and on. At one point he trades some pink poodles for a girlfriend which he then trades to a cop for his horse. Finally he trades for what I think is a Rolls Royce. The very last trade he makes is the Rolls Royce for a case of the beer that he started out with.

So the people in this video decided to find a use for their giant rubber band ball. Apparently that use�consists of rolling it down a hill and destroying their car with it. In the first roll the rubber band ball lands on the back of the car smashing out the window. In another couple rolls they miss the car. In the roll featured� in the thumbnail for the video the rubber band ball hit the side door full on and embedded itself in the car.�The rubber band ball partially fell apart when they extracted it from the car.

Here's a video compilation of various high speed camera footage. It starts out with a dart hitting a balloon and then a dart hitting a water balloon. The thumbnail here is the dart hitting the water balloon. It's amazing how the water keeps it's shape after the balloon is gone. Next up is a tall glass which breaks (I assume from a sound vibration) followed by an empty glass water bottle and then a full glass water bottle falling and breaking into pieces. Following this there are various different videos of a glass sphere filled with various things like vacuum and then a tomato hit by a flying pencil. The video finishs up with an apple and another fruit being hit by a bullet.

Here's an interesting viral video which is actually an advertisement for a industrial blender. The guy in the video takes various objects like brooms, crow bars, golf balls, coke cans, CDs, etc. and blends them up in the blender they are trying to sell. In this video he throws a couple golf balls into the blender and turns them into confetti. It's actually pretty amazing what the blender can do as normal blenders get stuck on icecubes and this thing tears into golf balls like they are butter. Nice viral marketing.

Here is a pretty weird video from I think China where it has kids floating around on a river or pond in blown up plastic balls. There is a launching area and the kid is inside a giant plastic ball. The kid walks up to the water while inside the plastic ball and then floats out onto the water. They've used these kinds of things on game shows in the US before but I've never seen them just put kids in them and float them out onto a pond my themselves. Is the plastic ball sealed or where does their air come from? What happens if one of them starts sinking.

In this video there are five pool tables setup with a bunch of dominos on each table. The guy on the left starts the domino fall off by shooting a pool ball which hits another pool ball and finally the dominos. The dominos snake all over the table and while they fall they also send different pool balls falling into their pockets. Then it gets to the good part when the dominos fall towards the edge an a set of pool ques that go from the first table to the second table. A ball hit by the last domino rolls between the two tables and starts the dominos on the second table. Repeat for for 5 tables full of dominos total. Amazing.

Here is a video which is taken in time lapse (or at least the video is sped up) of a hot air balloon race which happened in Reno recently. There are all kinds of different hot air balloon shapes in the video even though the majority are your regular hot air balloons. To name a few of the irregularly shaped balloons I see a cow, a bee, an engle, Noah's Ark, Jesus, a stage coach, and what looks like a teddy bear. I believe the eagle was actually a spotter balloon as it takes off and lands before the other ones but I really have no idea. I assume a lot of these balloons are corporate sponsored.
