Waking the Baby Mammoth

Posted by Alex in Animal, Science & Tech, Video Clips on April 14, 2009 at 4:35 pm

This is pretty cool: National Geographic Channel has a fantastic feature titled Waking the Baby Mammoth, about the discovery of a well-preserved body of a baby woolly mammoth:

Only a handful have ever been found before. But none like her. Her name is Lyuba. A 1-month-old baby mammoth, she walked the tundra about 40,000 years ago and then died mysteriously. Discovered by a reindeer herder, she miraculously re-appeared on a riverbank in northwestern Siberia in 2007. She is the most perfectly preserved woolly mammoth ever discovered. And she has mesmerized the scientific world with her arrival - creating headlines across the globe.

Loop of Disney video that rips off other Disney video

Ren sez, "This is a smashing video that remixes scenes from Disney movies that appear to be traced from one another. The effect is super-bizarre, but it explains why I was never able to tell those princesses apart!"

Fake People Tell Fake Stories About The Threat Of Gay Marriage

I CAN'T BELIEVE THE NERVE OF THESE F*%$ING ASSHOLES!!! TALK ABOUT INTOLERANCE!!!
THIS IS PURE BIGOTRY I TELL YOU!!! PURE FIN' BIGOTRY!!!

Posted by Mark Frauenfelder, April 9, 2009 12:22 PM |

Baratunde’s Posterous posted this unwonderful video produced by The National Organization for Marriage, describing it as "Fake People Tell Fake Stories About The Threat Of Gay Marriage."

I don't know if the people are fake or not [UPDATE: They are actors], but they are assholes. One woman whines plaintively, "My freedom will be taken away," if gays are allowed to marry. What -- her freedom to be intolerant?

Here is one of the videos of the dumb motherf*&%ers auditioning to be a part of an ad for an organization of evil fu$%ing bigots. I hope this organization rots slowly in Hell for there ignorance and intolerance. FU@K OFF NOM!!!

One string diddley bow

Posted by Mark Frauenfelder, April 8, 2009 9:13 PM |

I found this video of Wade playing his homemade one-string diddley bow on Cigar Box Nation. Fantastic.

Only the best pallet wood, chicken can and drywall screws money can buy to build this fine instrument. This is an off the cuff song I came up with to go with this mean piece of wood.

Be sure to check out the other videos of one, two, three, and four-stringed homemade musical instruments.

Shane Speal goofing on the three-string cigar box guitar. He's been playing this instrument for 13 years. It's simply a stick shoved thru a cigar box with three strings added. Free plans are on his website. Song: Guitar Rag by Sylvester Weaver, 1923. Later made famous by Leon McAuliff as "Steel Guitar Rag."
