A Little Bit of Awesome: 9/7/18 Edition

We lost Burt Reynolds yesterday. Which is clearly not awesome. However, he left us with a giant body of awesome work. And one of my favorites were “The Cannonball Run” movies. But not just the movies, the outtakes during the credits were flat out awesome. RIP Bandit.


This awesome guy knows how to use his head. Well, to set a record anyway. He cracked 217 walnuts in one minute. The previous record was 181. He crushed it. (I know, punny. Sorry.)


Guess where my wife wants to go next?


Science is awesome! Even with half a brain!
