Don’t Mispell Google

Saturday, May 26th, 2007

Here’s a funny video of what can happen to your computer if you accidentally go to goggle instead of google. Sorry, I would normally test the link before posting, but I chickened out. Just enjoy the video for the humour, feel free to test out the site if you want, but why would you want to? Unless maybe you are currently on your friend’s computer. A friend that just recently bought a computer that is better than yours. Then… maybe you will want to test it out.

Snapping Shrimp

Saturday, May 26th, 2007

There are soo many wonders of nature, here’s just another one. Did you know that some shrimp, snapping shrimp (or pistol shrimp), use their claws as an acoustic weapon? They can stun other shrimp without even touching them.

Crazy Fiddle Dancer

Saturday, May 26th, 2007

Here’s the craziest fiddle player I’ve ever seen. Watch her dance moves while she plays the fiddle to the background music by Black Eyed Peas. Don’t know how she can play without missing a beat while bouncing around like that. Looks like she has the same fiddle as me, but I definitely can’t play that well.

Train Derails

Saturday, May 26th, 2007

Here’s a good video to watch in case you are like the way I used to be before seeing this video. Don’t stand too close to the edge of a train track. You never know what may happen! This guy is lucky he wasn’t a few feet closer to the track when the train derails.

Buffalo Lions and Crocodiles

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007

An amazing video of buffalo, lions and crocodiles in the African safari. It starts off a bit slow, but it is wild to see how the animals react to one another. The buffalo is attacked by a pack of lions, the crocodiles come over to try to get some of the fallen animal, the buffalo come back with a bigger pack and start attacking the lions. It’s almost like gang fights in the wild.

Evolution of Dance

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007

This movie has been around for a while, but I think it is worth watching again. Judson Laipply takes you through the last 50 years of music and dancing styles in a 6 minute video. I have to admit that I may have danced like this at one point, but only after a few beers.

Juggling - Chris Bliss

Sunday, May 20th, 2007

Here’s a fantastic video of Chris Bliss in concert juggling three balls in sync with a Beatles song. He’s a fantastic juggler! Then there was another juggler who copied his routine. See both videos below.

The Future as Predicted in 1967

Sunday, May 20th, 2007

I love watching old shows or reading old books about how our life will be so different in the future. Many predictions in the 60s showed us flying around in personal spaceships by the year 2000. This video was made in 1967 as part of a movie, 1999 A.D., where the future household can shop from home, pay bills from home, etc… If this is the way we saw the future in 1967, imagine how different the year 2047 will look to us!

Fancy Bike Riding

Sunday, May 20th, 2007

Here’s some cool tricks to try out the next time you are commuting to work. If you could do this, I’m sure you’ll get some amazed looks. Just remember, wear your helmet! This video was taped in 2000 or 2001 in Wuerzburg, Germany. This makes me want a fixed gear bike even more. :)

Panda Sneeze

Sunday, May 20th, 2007

My kids love this video and have probably watched it 20-30 times. It’s a very short video where a moma bear is relaxing with its cub in front. The cub sneezes and the moma bear jumps. (sorry to ruin the plot for you)
