This makes sense. People putting baloons and flowers on trees for the trees birthday doesn't.

HAh! reminds me of the time in the lab when we had a baloon full of anti-helium and we told George to do the high-pitch voice thing!

I dont think i would enjoy this ( unless i had a parashoot ) blody hot air ballons I just dont trust them

randomly because of the weardness of the situatoin , floating at x hight on a glass flore its so weard i think my mind would find it esear to accomidate the glass floor than if it was a glass flore in a bulding.

lol weard how although i trust phisics my brain has a hard time trusting hot air baloons.

Maybe that's true, here i'll test myself. I counted 34 different slo mo things in this video (+/- 1-2 b/c im not watching that crap again), you'll have to trust me to be honest but let's see how long it takes me to come up with 35!!! different ideas, clock starting now!
1 pheobe cates getting out of a pool o shit that's already been done (clock still running)
1 throwing a card into a watermelon
2 breaking bottle with a rock
3 dropping a penny on a table and watching it bouce
4 shooting a grape with a shotgun @ close range
5 breaking a lightbulb by having a stampede of wild stallions run it over
6 unplugging a thumb drive
7 taking a bite of a sandwich with too much peanut butter on it
8 jumping...you know, up and down but then like I'd slow it down just before your feet left the ground then speed it up b/c im cool
9 taking a radiator out of a car
10 riping a leaf in half
11 guy getting frustrated trying to open a letter without a letter opener then finally he rips it open
12 making a mojito then me drinking it
13 man struggling not to look at a womans breasts as she bends over then he gets slapped in the face with a baloon filled with paint
14 woman farting in a bathtub
15 flipping a pancake
16 tuberculosis infecting the cells of a young person in a third world country
17 squeezing a lemon into a can of yellow paint
18 hitting a printer with a mallet b/c it doesnt work
19 washing a car in the automatic washer
20 frying bacon
21 changing faces on a mr potato head
22 dropping a rotten tomato a short distance and it doesnt splat
23 droping the same rotten tomato from a third story building
24 baseball bat hitting ball made of concrete
25 alligator snatching up it's baby giraffe dinner
26 tieing shoes
27 hitting a marshmellow with a stun gun and setting it on fire with electricity
28 throwing a knife
29 wiping my ass
30 tree parts going into a wood chipper
31 opening a fortune cookie
32 sneezing
33 getting punched by the dude you sneezed on
34 punching the guy back with the stink palm hand leftover from the ass wipe
35 flashback to the moment in the bathroom when i decided not to wash my hands
wow that was a bit longer than i thought it was going to be i'll have to admit
it ended up being 14:17 although most of that was probably due to typing time.
No worries, acc to you i just made some art.

No but I believe the set up and the ideas in some of these clips show a degree of creativity that could be considered "Art".


No, you have listed a bunch of neat stuff that could look cool in slow-motion. The point Yogi was trying to make is that the "art" portion of this video comes from unique camera angles, setup, different colors used (Primary), engaging background music, the switching of time-shifting, ect... were all carefully constructed to make this video intriguing. And that, my friend, is art.

The footage of the biker at 6:00 is terrible.

The two people crossing the street at 2:30 horrifying! One of them was carrying a baloon. Was it a child walking with their parent?

Making light of people having their bones crushed gets no upvote. This is too close to snuff for me.

Yeah, Blanky.

Baloon-Juice is one of the better political snark blogs out there. I know it's not your cuppa tea-party, and tends to have rational, logical, and truthful discussion about important issue, and they think Randian philosophy and Grover Norquist should be drowned in a bathtub. But it's really a good read.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_balloon

Seems like it would be fairly trivial to have a parachute inside the balloon so that the equipment would safely descend when the balloon let rip. You wouldn't have to worry about deployment, then, which might otherwise include extra weight in the form of sensors and/or some sort of mechanical chute deployment.

On further thought, I guess it depends on how thoroughly the balloon is destroyed. The remains of the balloon could interfere with the chute opening.

I wonder what the absolute top altitude of a weather baloon is? I guess at some point, the helium is heavier than the surrounding near vacuum. It would be helpful if there was something - other than a rocket that carries all its reaction mass with it - that could reach space.

"The highest altitude ever achieved by one such unmanned research balloon was 51,820m; this balloon was launched from Chico, California in 1972" (32.2 miles)

they do, the balloons pop. Pop goes the weasel.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
