What it Looks Like When You Put a Camera on a Helicopter Rotor [VIDEO]
I love those GoPro cameras. You can put them on anything, they're very secure and they let you see what you probably will have never seen before. In this case, they put a camera on the blade of a helicopter to see what it looks like to spin around so fast. The end result is very trippy.

Search Through Misspelled Ebay Postings To Find Great Deals
I'm a huge fan of eBay. I can find items from my childhood, get parts for something I'm fixing or import items we don't have available in America all in one place. Although eBay has changed the landscape on how we bid in auctions and, in some cases, changed the value of rare items like baseball cards and antiques, there are hundreds of thousands of eBay listings that nobody buys all because someon
