If you asked someone, “What sound does a turtle make”, you would probably get an answer of “Turtles don’t make noises”. It turns out that isn’t true.

Watch These People Walking Into Glass Doors — Daily Distraction

Staff Writer — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 17:15:37 +0000

[onescreen item="5059243"] We recently pointed out how our feline friends sometimes have issues with confusing human inventions, but perhaps we shouldn’t laugh.

Staff Writer — Mon, 01 Apr 2013 17:17:55 +0000

[onescreen item="5051328"] There’s something about golf carts that just brings out the bad driver in all of us. Maybe it’s because the cart has no doors, which makes it feel like a toy car. And what do kids do with toys? Smash them, of course. The Daily Distraction is your Internet break from reality. Whether you’re eating [...]

Cassandra Rose — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 14:59:04 +0000

Gary Busey was involved in a nasty motorcycle accident back in 1988, in which the devout opponent of mandatory helmet laws suffered an injury that almost killed him. He was considered loopy before that, but maybe that nasty blow to the head made matters worse.

Case in point? His YouTube series 'The Busey Zone,' where he rambles about ... well, everything. And this week, in a video he calls 'Hornyism,' Busey discusses Hobbits, South Koreans, baby reindeer, Lapland and the very nature of the word "horny." Through song.

Video Proof That the Moonwalk Is a Really Tough (and Painful) Dance — Daily Distraction

Staff Writer — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 18:16:54 +0000

[onescreen item="5018913"] Doing the Moonwalk is harder than it looks. Just ask any of these people. When done correctly, the Moonwalk looks pretty spectacular. But just because Michael Jackson made it appear so smooth and effortless doesn’t mean that just anyone can do it. If you’re going to try it, we’d recommend elbow pads. And [...]

Staff Writer — Tue, 05 Feb 2013 18:26:59 +0000

[onescreen item="5010593"] Everyone loves a good pool party. And not just people.

Watch This Kid Drive a Front Loader — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 18:19:16 +0000

[onescreen item="4998678"] When this clip first started, we thought some foolish father decided to let his son play on a bulldozer. Sure, it’s cute the way he climbs up there, but be careful, kid!

Daily Distraction — Fri, 18 Jan 2013 18:19:24 +0000

[onescreen item="4997308"] Lobsters are delicious, no argument here, but they are also quite monstrous-looking. If one catches you by surprise, it’s perfectly understandable to shriek in terror.

Watch These Goats Go On the Attack — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Fri, 11 Jan 2013 18:10:53 +0000

[onescreen item="4994271"] Goats seem pretty nice. They have little beards and say “baaaaaa” and eat grass and stuff. They also have horns, though. Sometimes, animal instincts just take over, even if it seems like a mismatch. Now, these attacks aren’t very serious. They’re more on the adorable side, really. But we wouldn’t want to run [...]

Daily Distraction — Wed, 09 Jan 2013 18:17:52 +0000

[onescreen item="4994219"] Sometimes, the beauty in a Web video lies in its simplicity. Take, for example, this gentleman and his trombone.
