A cat, trying to drink water from a kettle
Oh…my mistake, I didn’t recognize them as vent holes…
(switches to Werner Herzog voice)
….so it seems the lid will never seal and the cat shall die of thirst millimeters from its salvation. Yet another senseless death in a cruel senseless world.
I could see the vent holes and perhaps the not quite sealed lid was working against the cats efforts. This is why cats need to start chewing gum.

"Why Are There So Few Smartphones In Popular Movies?"
hmmm, I love ya, but... not the most interesting Nerdwriter ever...
why are there so few smartphones in popular movies: because we secretly don't like them, and popular movies are made to show us what we like. <Insert Werner Herzog>
Charles Manson's Epic Answer
He's like the jungie that Werner Herzog loves against his better judgement.
How to uninstall McAfee Antivirus
I was dimly aware of McAfee's antics, but hadn't followed the story closely. Hard to deny, this has movie written all over it -- I think Werner Herzog would take a pass, Michael Bay would end up making it instead.
Anyone who has half an hour spare, I suggest reading below about a man's struggle with existentialism and some disturbed inner demons:

Your favorite sift... (Happy Talk Post)
What is your favorite sift out of your submissions?
Hmmmm...difficult. One of those that spring to mind is: http://videosift.com/video/Jeff-Koons-Cicciolina-Very-NSFW Just because it's so unusual and obscure, and I like the artist.
What is your favorite sift out of everyone else's submissions?
Today it's either http://videosift.com/video/Werner-Herzog-Loves-the-Amazon-Jungle or http://happy.videosift.com/video/The-Beatles-Real-Love (as I've promoted the second one at about 10 times)
Brave Woman Stands Up to Wild Bear Bluff Charge

wow what a moron.
being an idiot is not a good way to change people's attitude towards bears.
Didn't Timothy Treadwell and Werner Herzog teach us anything?
..and don't give me some crap about grizzlies being dangerous and black bears being harmless. That logic would imply that it's fine to taunt a grizzly because it's not as bad-ass as a polar bear. Bears are dangerous. Accept it.. treat them with the respect the deserve.
Well, no, it would imply that black bears are behaviourally different than grizzlies in a way that makes them less of a threat. These assessments are done species-by-species, according to the facts, not with an arbitrarily imposed system of logic.
well, no. Saying that black bears are "less of a threat than Grizzlies" is both true and a good message to get out there. Saying that "black bears are harmless" is will get people killed and is criminally negligent.

So, Genji, I saw Werner Herzog's new doc tonight. Cave of Forgotten Dreams. About a cave that was discovered in France in 1994 or so, with 35,000 year old cave paintings. Stunning.

The movie was a bit too much florid Herzog for my tastes, and I saw it in 2D and it was structured to be seen in 3D, but still. I learned something. The paintings look contemporary -- they are, well, stunning.
And I thought of you in the middle of this doc. Herzog went to a couple of museums to show other archeological works of the same time period.
One of the oldest artistic representations humans have is the Venus of Willendorf-type sculptures. You've seen them? The woman's fertile body, with tiny head, feet and hands, large belly, large thighs, large breasts, large labia. All about the fecundity. The first human image deemed important enough to sculpt.
The sculpture shown in the movie was apparently a pendant -- instead of a head, there was a ring on top for a cord or something to go through so it could be worn or held up.
And I thought -- hey, that's genji's avatar, minus the jello shot!!
I'm on the sift too much, man....
