There's nothing inherently wrong about going into the family business. Many folks grow up working for their parents and learn everything from the bottom up. But some just show up one day and leapfrog to the executive suite with no idea what they're doing. This comic is from Jim Benton.

Have you ever known someone who would just say whatever came into their mind to make conversation? Yeah, you have, because there's one in every crowd. For some folks, it's the only way they know to interact without awkwardness. But when those lies are exposed, it gets really awkward. Even more so in a sketch from College Humor.

Marble engineer Kaplamino is back with his most ambitious chain reaction marble run ever. It involves pyrotechnics, pinball levers, winches, and everything you can think of ...but no fidget spinners this time. He says,

I'm out of my comfort zone this time because the chain reaction is taking place on two tables, and with 0 fidget spinners. It is the longest in terms of duration and the one that takes up the most space in my room. I tried to use a little bit of everything like rubber bands, magnets, and elements. I had so many failures that I stopped counting, as always only a few tricks were responsible for the majority of failures, can you guess which ones?

Kaplamino goes into more detail about the tricks at the YouTube page. (via Boing Boing)
