Video of the day: Shirtless hunk solves Rubik’s Cube in 25 seconds while doing one-arm push ups

Says the poster of the video: “This is one of my first times trying one armed push ups so forgive me if the form is off, lol. I haven’t done a standard push up in as long as I can remember. I just lift weights. My quad actually isn’t touching the ground, it might look that way b/c of the loose shorts. Also, sorry for the little pause between push ups 3 and 4, I messed up a part of the solve. This vid combines my 2 main hobbies – lifting and cubing.”

Yeah, I was going to call him on that, but figured I’d let it slide.

Wow.

Family finds rare baseball card collection valued at $3 million

As the Toledo Blade reports, when Karl Kissner and his cousins were clearing out his grandfather’s home in Defiance, Ohio, on Feb. 29 they came across a box of very rare and very valuable baseball cards.

According to the Blade, “experts say the trove of about 700 nearly mint cards just might represent the greatest and rarest discovery in the sports card industry’s history. The best of the collection is expected to fetch more than $500,000 at the National Sports Collectors Convention next month in Baltimore while the entire stock could bring in $3 million.”

American Airlines flight attendant removed from flight after rant

An American Airlines flight moments from take-off at DFW was sent back to the gate this morning after a flight attendant began ranting over the PA system about the plane crashing and eventually had to be restrained by passengers and flight attendants, according to two passengers on the flight.

Flight 2332, scheduled to take off for Chicago at 8:25 a.m., was back at the gate by 9:15 as police escorted the flight attendant, kicking and screaming, to one of the several police cars that surround the plane on the tarmac, passengers say.

According to two passengers, the flight was taxiing toward take-off this morning when the flight attendant came over the PA.

“We are not taking off,” she said, according to the passengers. “We’re having technical difficulties. We are heading back to the gate.”

Another flight attendant came on and assured the passengers: Yes, actually, we are taking off, so buckle up. But the flight attendant up front wouldn’t let up. She kept going on about technical difficulties and plane crashes, the passengers say.

“Captain,” she said. “I am not responsible for crashing this plane.”

Passengers started yelling, asking what was going on. Flight attendants hustled through the aisles, saying nothing. A passenger from Wisconsin, who I spoke with a few minutes ago, called 911 but was ultimately hung up on. But not long after, some guys in the back of the plane, in town for a Sam’s Club company meeting, walked to the front of the plane and helped restrain the flight attendant, who the passengers are hearing was “off her meds.”

Apparently the plane did eventually take off after restocking the alcohol supply. There might be a clue in there somewhere…
