Forget those crazy Russians, this American kid crawling across the railway tracks while a train is still running above his head is the most insane video I’ve seen in a long time.

The weirdest thing on the internet tonight: “Let’s just pop back to last Tuesday,” she says. “Oh don’t worry about stepping on that lizard,” she says. “It can’t be that important.” It can’t be that important huh?

Last year, a church congregation in Grand Ledge, Michigan, cracked open a time capsule from 1912 filled with all the usual suspects: photos, newspapers, and newsletters.

China is currently undergoing a huge boom in museums — 299 new ones have opened in the last year alone. And just like the 20th century museum boom in the United States, which inspired cascades of forgeries, China’s is bringing out the fakes: The government has shuttered one museum where a third of the 8000 artefacts were fake.
