I previously linked to the stills of people getting blasted with air, but it turns out that there’s a slow-motion movie. Blow Job, the video

A gallery of people getting blasted with air. Save the link, because Googling is probably not going to get you there.
A Beaker of Tea, Perhaps?
Chemicus is a service set for Russian chemists/patriots; made of fine ceramics and adorned with a traditional Gzhel pattern, it repurposes laboratory test tubes and beakers for home-kitchen experiments.
Interesting that the kettle and vase have a biohazard symbol on them.
Stupidity Captured at 2500 fps
The post title is the subtitle of the video, with the obvious disclaimer of don’t try this at home (or work). The flour catching fire and waterbed defect propagation are particularly cool, and there’s something surreal about a chunk of watermelon flying directly at the camera in slo-mo.
(A little peeve of mine — I know that a camera capable of this level of speed and quality is not something that my allowance will permit me to buy, but I really hate websites that tell you request a quote rather than just giving the list price of the item. I ran into this a bit when I did purchasing as a collateral duty, and it just meant I was going to try and buy from someone else. Anyone, as long as I could place the order and be done with it.)

Robert Howsare’s Drawing Apparatus
It’s a good thing this video is only 1 minute 45 seconds, because I could watch it for at least 17 minutes and 6 seconds, and really who has the time?
That's a Mighty Big Wind Chime You Got There
Aeolus – Acoustic Wind Pavilion
The sculpture a giant aeolian harp, designed to resonate and sing with the wind without any electrical power or amplification. Vibrations in strings attached to some of the tubes are transferred through skins covering the tops, and projected down through the tubes towards the viewer standing beneath the arch.
