Bitly 404 Page
I was trying to view a recipe posted on the Foodgawker Facebook wall, but kept getting a 404 page. They said they had fixed the link, but didn't. That's the problem with using these link-shortening services - far too often something happens in the conversion of the link and it's invalid or they make a mistake in copying...either way, it's a broken link. Here's a screenshot of what I got:
Still, the Bitly 404 page is a pretty cool one - funny and animated, with a seagull flapping its wings, clouds floating across the sky and waves bobbing a dead pufferfish? up and down. See it for yourself. (put your cursor over the water to make waves-I don't think anything else is interactive)

Bouncing in the Booze
A raisin dropped in a glass of fresh champagne will bounce up and down continuously from the bottom of the glass to the top.
Note: I'm sure it will eventually stop, either when the raisin becomes saturated with liquid or the champagne loses its fizz.

Scary Downhill Run
A bit of profanity in the caption at the first and last, not too bad. I would have said that and much more if I was the rider.
Be sure and watch to the end, that's when it gets really exciting.

Under the Train
What it's like to lie between the track while a speeding train passes over you.
Fwd. to around .55 seconds in to get past "nothing happening".

Major to Minor
Chase Holfelder takes happy songs in a major key and converts them to sad songs in a minor key. He's done several songs on his YouTube channel, but this cover of Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" is interesting, beautiful and different.

99 Red Balloons
Played on real red balloons.
I loved the song 99 Luftballons by Lena when it came out in the mid-80's. It was an anti-nuclear weapons protest tune, but I liked the song more than I did its message. I used to read a lot of action novels and the phrase "the balloon has gone up" is often used to mean that trouble is quickly coming.
The origin of the phrase isn't clear, but I believe it's from one of these examples at Grammar-Monster.com:
Once the balloon has gone up means when trouble is here or in a period of trouble.
The term once the balloon has gone up derives from the First World War. Whenever enemy activity was expected, observations balloons would be released to monitor the enemy troop movements. As a result, the raising of these balloons, which were visible to all, soon became a sign of pending enemy action.
A Competing Theory
The term when the balloon goes up refers to the large barrage balloons which were raised on steel cables above British cities during the Second World War. The idea was that enemy bombers would keep away from the cities, fearing that the steel cables would slice through their wings. Therefore, when the barrage balloons went up, it was a sign for a city's inhabitants of a pending air raid.
