Uranus is so weird.

Spoiler:

You're welcome ;)

Ok, just finished the footage....why does he seem to be buckling his pants....

Looks like they don't fit all that well. Dude probably has a gut that gets in the way of the belt buckle when he's sitting down. If he's on a long drive and by himself in the car, then no reason not to be comfortable...

I would've guessed that it would have been the other guy having to buckle his pants.

Why would you do your belt up when you've just sh*t your pants? Wouldn't you be doing the opposite?

From the way he screwed up, I could see him jacking it out of boredom while driving.

I never knew that Uranus is oriented ass-end up.

And Venus is doing a handstand. (Look carefully at the angle of inclination.) Venus either rotates backward, or is completely upside-down, compared to (nearly) every other planet.

Same thing, no?

Has anyone put out any convincing theories as to why?

The original theory was that a combination of atmospheric tides (Venus's atmosphere is almost unimaginably dense) and the friction between its mantle and core, caused the planet to flip over at some point.

But newer research suggests that Venus's rotation gradually slowed to a stop and then (slightly) reversed. The calculations predict that the planet has four stable rotation states, two prograde and two retrograde, with the current one being the most stable. "This may represent an equilibrium state between tidal locking to the Sun's gravitation, which tends to slow rotation, and an atmospheric tide created by solar heating of the thick Venusian atmosphere."

- Why Venus Spins the Wrong Way (Scientific American)
- Venus's Orbit and Rotation (including links to the original papers)

Edit: Alternatively, it could have been caused by a huge impact (or two) in the distant past -- which is definitely what happened to Uranus -- but I prefer the tidal theory. (Note that Uranus's moons also orbit at that same extreme angle, so the collision must have happened very early in its history. Venus has no moons.)

So relaxing...it preparation for the one below.

First of all - Amazing Luck
Second of all - horrible, almost criminal design.

Just a great battle.

Oh dear god, that could have ended so, so incredibly much worse!

Warmed my cold heart.
*turn on sound

Well that escalated quickly...

You must gather your party before venturing forth (they were in the car).

So now I'm really wondering if the guy who fell in was alright.

^ Probably not. I saw a similar video with a woman who did not survive. Might want to spoiler tag those.

Spoilered. Don't want anyone to not have fun in the thread.
