Vsauce. Five riddles. Four brand names. Three facts. Two weird products and one project.

It's 5432 - One project from Instructables. Turn your Super Nintendo into an ultimate gaming console emulator that plays NES, Genesis, N64 and more. You'll need about 200 dollars in parts, some free time and own legal copies of the games.

Two weird products. The first is blood perfume. It doesn't contain actual human blood, but they claim the four blood type scents are somehow realistically represented. Second is elephant poop paper. The great elephant PooPooPaper Company filters the poop, leaving only the fibers, grasses, bamboo and fruits that the elephant couldn't digest. And no, it doesn't smell.

Three facts. Honey does not spoil. Honey found in tombs of Egyptian pharaohs has been tasted by archaeologists and found edible. Aegilops is the longest word in the English language with all the letters in alphabetical order. When the CD was invented it was decided it should be long enough to hold Beethoven's 9th Symphony at any tempo on one disc.

Four brand names. Sometimes we refer to products exclusively by their brand name. Bubble wrap is actually inflated cushioning. Dumpsters are front loader waste containers. Jet skis are stand-up personal watercrafts. And Velcro is really hook-and-loop fastener.

Five riddles. Mad Gabs are a group of words that don't make sense until you say them slowly and discover the hidden phrase or name. For example, "Able Owe Knees Hand Which." A Bolognese sandwich. Here are three Mad Gabs. "Bigger Scant Beach Hoosiers." "Check Can Tub Ends Talk." "Aim Hiker Owes Cope." Here's a visual puzzle. What month does this represent?

Finally, here's a riddle from you guys. "I was walking on a bridge when I met a man. He tipped his hat and drew his cane. In this riddle I said his name. What is it?"

Before we go, here's last week's winner. Leave your answers in the comments below... And as always, thanks for watching.
