Funny workout videos - How many accidents can there be?

Over the last couple days, I've run across several workout videos gone wrong completely by accident. Instead of ignoring the trend, I thought I'd share a few of them with you.


Treadmill fall. People fall off treadmills all the time, but this guy was so embarrassed he ran straight out. :( That's why we embarrass him even more by further passing the video on, right? Oops.

Lots of weightlifting accidents

Woo, flying gymnast. :P

Exercise balls rock (bounce?). This one has both the big ones you sit and do exercises on....and the small weighted ones. Ouch.

Um. He's painting, walking on a treadmill, and playing ping pong. It's a over 9 minutes long, but all you really need to see is 20 seconds or so.

I found this one first on Erika Jean's time.

Jim Carrey really knows how to work out.

This one is NSFW. Actually, it's not really safe for anywhere. It's....well....I don't know. I do know that Spike can definitely dance, though... And yes, it only gets worse as you keep watching, so don't be surprised if you can't help but keep watching, even if you really, really don't want to. I'm sorry in advance, lol.

Sprite up the web - Interactive website fun

This is one of those instances where you have to click through to the Spritely site to have any idea what I'm talking about.

See those birds that look like they're flying? It's because they really are. And you can click anywhere on the site to move them. It's strictly HTML and jQuery, so no issues with Flash. If you have no idea what that means, that's okay....just know that it's really simple to download for your own site, and if you want to know all the details, it'll explain them.

Otherwise, go have 20 seconds of fun, playing with those birds. Drag and drop them, watch the background, click a random spot anywhere on the page, whatever. Oh, and if you do nothing else, drag the little slider at the bottom of the banner to see them go super fast in either direction. It makes me giggle, hehe.

This is what it should look like, but it's not coming through after Blogger adjusts the coding automatically. Blah. I can understand a few of the changes it's making, but some of it seems off. Not sure how to correct it either. Hmm.

Facebook Flashback Friday - Musical fun, comics, and turkeys

Here's one more in a series of link dump compilations including all the fun things I've found and shared elsewhere. There are lots more shared
on Quirky Jessi's Facebook, but here's some snippets for you:

• Hands-only symphony - This is one of those sites where you click on various aspects and it turns music on and off....except, these are all sounds made with hands and lots of great music can be created. It's even better because it's hosted by the American Heart Association with the tag line "Hands can do incredible things, but nothing compares to using them to help save a life." 
• Dancing typography - Be sure to pass this one on to your friends. ;) 
• Time to start eating puppies.
• Kaleidoscope Painter 
• What should I read next? - Enter the details of a book you like by title, author, or even ISBN, and this site will recommend other books that you might like. 
• Three depressing stories (comics) about turkeys
• "For every minute you remain angry, you give up sixty seconds of peace of mind." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
