In this series of clips, Slinkys are dropped from various heights in order to demonstrate that the bottom of a Slinky doesn’t start to move until its top “catches up.” Although I understand the scientific explanation, seeing the clips still hurts my brain a little.

Interesting article:
Tokelau is home to only about 1,300 people. But a recent report (PDF) released by Verisign, the global registry operator for .com and .net, found that .tk is the third-most popular country code top-level domain (or ccTLD) behind only Germany (.de) and the United Kingdom (.uk).
It’s all thanks to a man who literally lives on the other side of the planet from Tokelau: Joost Zuurbier of Amsterdam.
