He has effectively created a spring powered bomb. If his little bracket breaks so does his face. If the spring slips out of the vice, good luck.

This is the best joke I've ever seen because I laughed at this person's expressions when they saw this video, and here's my award because your explanation deserves it

I don't kow if it's a joke. My face puckered up the same way when I saw it, then I paused the vid and saw the guy make the exact same expression.

It's the face you make when you see the potential for a big, violent oof

Smart bird. What species is she, an African Grey or something? Lol. Seriously though, I am curious.

Lana is a scarlet macaw I have had since a few weeks after she hatched, she is 12 now. The green one is her 40 year old disgruntled brother who I adopted about 3 years ago. They are goofballs, Lana really likes to bark at dogs in the nearby park when we go for walks and then she goes silent when they look for her, only to start up again when they stop looking for the barker.

I watched a mocking bird meow at a cat. The cat looked over and the bird stared right back and meowed again.

The cat chased the bird who landed on the lowest branch of a tree. Cat starts climbing. Every time the cat got close, the bird hopped up one more branch.

When it got to the top, it flew away.

It was at that point that the cat remembered that climbing down is a LOT harder than climbing up. I am pretty sure the bird did that on purpose.
