What do you do when your flight home from Dallas Fort Worth gets canceled, leaving you stranded over night in the airport?

You have some fun:

If you were the luckiest person on the planet, then I’d imagine your day would go something like Best Of A Normal Day, a collection of impossible tricks using everyday objects in unique and unusual ways:

When Johnny Cupcakes opens a new shop, they want it to be filled with unique experiences – making you feel like you stepped into a time warp. All shops are set up as old fashioned bakeries, displaying limited edition t-shirts in refrigerators rather than actual cupcakes. T-shirts even get packaged in special food/bakery packaging.

For the opening of their London shop, they created a Rube Goldberg style machine that puts metal balls on an endless, and endlessly entertaining, loop through various jumps, hoops and whoops:

You don’t want to let your MacBook have all the moustache fun now, do you?

Gama-Go’s Fingerstache temporary tattoos give you the ability to apply a moustache to your face with the flick of a finger, but the freedom to take the thing off at the end of the day as well so that you’re not stuck with hipster branding for the rest of your life.

At just $5 for a pack of 19 Fingerstaches, it’s a can’t miss deal on a pretty sweet style.

Let’s pretend for a moment that you have a few thousand dollars worth of Dyson’s new Air Multiplier fans lying around with nothing to cool. Do you:

A. Donate them to the needy?
B. Set up your own art exhibit?
C. Turn them into a really expensive Rube Goldberg Machine that can propel a balloon through the air like magic?

If you answered C, then this video is for you:

(And if you answered A or B, then I apologize for this post.)

Travis Pastrana’s world record setting New Year’s Eve rally car jump in his Subaru WRX was impressive:

What’s even more impressive though is that he managed to destroy his practice car and then walk away from the accident like it was no big deal:

The man is either a cat working on his ninth life, or he’s indestructible. Either way, I can’t wait to see what he thinks of next.

Every year, JibJab does a consistently hilarious look back at the year that was, and this year they’ve put together another funny montage of the things that made us laugh, cry and tweet in ’09. Enjoy:

Who knows what Google’s got planned for the new year, but if you’d like to see just how close we are to finding out, head on over to Google.com, leave the search box blank, and click the I’m feeling lucky button. When you do, an Easter Egg countdown timer will appear that’s currently counting down the seconds until 2010, though there’s no indication of what will happen when the clock strikes zero. (And no, you can’t hack your computer clock to make anything special happen just yet, though you can get it to go to zero early by changing your date.)

Paste Magazine’s Evolution of the Hipster is a hilarious look at the growth of the hipster culture from 2000 through today, including its emergence from the emo, a stop at the scenester, and the current meta-nerd trend.

Are you cool enough to pretend you’re not cool?

IKEA Heights is a melodrama shot entirely inside of the Burbank IKEA. Without their knowledge.

Damien Walters and Livewire have teamed up to create a very unique ‘choose your own adventure’ style freerunning game on YouTube.

To play, just pick your person and then pick their moves as they work their way through the city. Since freerunning/parkour are impressive on their own, adding in a bit of choice makes it even more fun to watch:

CollegeHumor once again kills it with their latest video, the Mario and Princess Sex Tape:

With some careful planning and a bit of prep work, you can duplicate the effect of the Diet Coke and Mentos Video in a drink called the Manhattan Project that will literally explode in your unsuspecting victim’s face.

Just make sure you get the hardwood installed before serving these at a party…

Grand Opening is currently trying to reinvent their space as a wedding chapel, and is using Kickstarter to raise funds for the cause.

Since big church weddings are ‘out’ this year, Wedding Chapel hopes to be a recession-proof, ultra cool solution for loved ones, friends and family.

“Wedding Chapel” will be New York City’s most fun and affordable wedding spot, offering couples the chance to have long lasting memories without a church or city hall.

The way Kickstarter works is that projects can ask for money, and then people can donate in exchange for certain rewards. In this case, any donor of any amount will have his or her name displayed on the wall of the chapel, and pledges of $100 or more can reserve Wedding Chapel for an hour or more for their own ceremony.

Sound like something that you’d want to take part in? Then hurry on over to Wedding Chapel on Kickstarter and put your pledge in!

Sure, you’ve seen the memes, and you probably know them by name, but can you identify them by their… background?

Andy Baio from Waxy.org has created a project called Meme Scenery where he takes the most popular viral videos and strips them of their subjects, leaving just the backgrounds for you to decode.

In all, there are 23 for you to identify, though don’t be surprised if it’s harder than you think. (And if it’s not, maybe it’s time to get out more…)

Remember the Million Dollar Homepage, a website where you could buy one of a million pixels at a dollar a pop that actually made the creator a millionaire in less than six months?

Well now you too can adorn your wall with a million dollars worth of entrepreneurial inspiration, thanks to the Million Dollar Poster.

Made from each and every pixel that adorned the original page, the Million Dollar Poster might not make you a millionaire, but at least it’ll bring back fond memories of how the online advertising world was before the bubble burst.
