I would also like list of videos... I don't understand why these get taken down for copyright violation... it's only snippets and is more likely to send people to seek out the original material than anything else

Anyway there's a version that's still working here:

It would appear the would be robber is not the only incompetent one in this clip

Must have some roo in it.

Uh what? I thought the funnel-web was one of the species you didn't wanna mess with. Fair enough there haven't been any recorded fatalities since 1981 (according to wikipedia) but those are the agro buggers than can penetrate a toe nail!

Is it wrong to hope that the idiots who cause these accidents, in doing so, remove themselves from the genepool?

I think it you miss the point though.
Tobacco used to be just a plant. You smoked the plant. What could be more natural?
The Big Tobacco companies took over. Now it's no longer tobacco plant you are smoking with cigarettes.
Only 50% of what is in a cigarette is tobacco and even that is treated with sugars and chemicals to make it easier for the body to absorb. The rest is chemicals, reclaim and recon which are all there to addict you while it's killing you at the same time.
With marijuana, in most cases it's still just plant, in the same form as it was when it was picked from the plant.
I don't smoke either of them but if I had to choose, I'd pick the one without the additives and addictants. I doubt there is anything "Natural" about smoking any form of grass. It's all a form of carbon monoxide (in my opinion), the grass itself is more natural and I think that counts for something.
One of the horrifying concepts in legalizing marijuana, is that Big Tobacco companies will take over the manufacturing process and will bastardize the product like it has with cigarettes and the health effects will be disastrous.

What's inside a US blended cigarette?
http://videosift.com/video/What-s-inside-a-US-blended-cigarette

I suspect if you you compared smoking natural weed to smoking natural dried tobacco the negative effects health effects would be similar. Likewise, if joints were prepared in the same way as commercial cigarettes they'd be just as bad as one another.
I won't presume to know the health effects of the natural products, but I'm all for people being allowed to use them as they see fit. So long as I'm not forced to breath second hand smoke in public places because even if they're not bad for you, personally, I don't care for either.


Nah, I got all that but perhaps failed to express my point clearly. I was trying to point out that it's silly to argue (not saying you were but others do) that pot is "healthier" than tobacco since it is not being compared like to like i.e. either both natural or both with added shit. Either way my personal opinion (admittedly with out anything solid backing it up) is that any type of smoke is going to be worse for your health than clean air. Despite that I'm all for people being free to choose regardless of how good or bad it is, natural or with added shit, so long as I'm not forced to inhale it, I don't care if others want to poison themselves.

This is a better example of the "muscle"-like characteristic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ML-TYiXb_ww

for once New Scientist narrated one of their videos... same footage as original post plus more.

I'd like to put a vote in for "not dupe"... the other one is edited for people with attention span issues and/or cognitive impairment.

Never been so happy to get rickrolled

Yes, it needs more gasoline. Awesome.

perfect maybe he'll lose some weight ...

It's fine, he's not paid to think either, perfectly realistic

as a tech demo, it's shit.
as an emotional story, it's pretty good.

Funny, i was thinking the exact opposite. As a tech demo it's showcasing some very impressive facial animation. As a short story, it was poor. Cliched, convenient and rushed.
"You're defective, I have no choice but to disassemble you."
"Pretty please with sugar on top?"
"Oh, alright."
His reaction to her being sentient is as if this sort of thing happens a lot, not "Oh my god, how is this possible? Maybe we should study this" astonishment. If it does happen a lot, why let her free this one time? We don't get any feeling from him as this being the straw that broke the camel's back (could just be bad acting/direction on the male character's part). It's just "Oh, you're sentient. Ok, just this once I'll let it slide... Wow, what a weird occurrence. Ooo, it's lunch time!"
