VIDEO OF THE DAY: Workplace Safety

It's important to take precautions when working around heavy machinery, right? Or, like a bunch of these guys, you can try basically shoving your arm straight in.

I seriously think these five minutes have as many ridiculous casualties as any really good slasher film, with just as much (if not more) splattering fake blood. Maybe it's just me, but I think this is really funny. I mean, unfortunate in the sense that such things actually happen, but really funny in the dramatic re-enactment department. Plus, most of these get no real explanation or background, so it's kind of like watching a string of non-sequiter B-movie deaths.

VIDEO OF THE DAY: Jason Voorhees, Benny Hill style

So here's a bit of Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning sped up a bit and set to the Benny Hill theme. (Did you know that the song's actual title is "Yakety Sax?" Yeah, neither did I. But now we both do.)

I have a sneaking suspicion that people running around at high-speed to this music will always be okay by me. Especially since Jason Voorhees is borderline slapstick himself. You know, if you squint and replace the rubber chickens and pies with a machete.
