Goddamn I hate Pachelbel's Canon in D.

Kudlow reminds me of Phil Hartman.

instructions for merging those multi-part youtube videos into a custom player/playlist (youtube account required)

... though after trying to go through them myself, Step IV's "create custom player button" appears to be missing from YT's playlist UI ... anybody care to enlighten me?

I must admit; that had me laughing until I had tears in my eyes. phew! that was a good one. The timing is perfect!

Scale. I need scale.
Is this a real giant squid or just a big squid?

I'd wager that the ROV shown in the vid is similar to a Centurion QX series 200 or 300 -- LxWxH: 2500mm x 1700mm x 1700mm which would put that squid at around or less than 1.7m (based on positioning of the camera and the type of robotic arm)

They're spineless, amazingly dumb and will attack things without reason or warning.

Cephalopods are known to be [one of] the most intelligent invertebrates (O_o') there are ... Humboldt (link to documentary @ amazon.com ) hunt schools of fish [voraciously] in large packs and have been known to cooperate and communicate quite well (think wolves and dolphins) ... plus, a brotha's gotta eat!

>> As such, they're know as The Republicans of the Sea.

Methinks your comment gives squid a bad name.

Why was this made?


via http://www.davidbearle.com/nothing.html:

"This short film flips back on itself. At exactly the midway point, the film begins to run backwards, and the sound repeats itself backwards with it. The character (Lea Porsager), speaks the three words backwards as the film goes forwards, so that they can be deciphered at the end of the film when they are played backwards.

When looped, there is no actual beginning or end, and no real sense of where the beginning and end actually are.

This piece was inspired by a personal paradoxical desire for empirical proof that there is nothing on the 'other' side of life.

I wanted to blur the distinction between the two states, and to state the paradox by showing someone who is coming back from life (or death), and denies its existence, thereby fulfilling the paradox."

Why are those people so nonchalant about it?

... b/c they just found their next meal ... nom nom nom .... oops i meant to do quote instead of profile reply .. oh wells ...

I am inclined to agree with Pooterius. Look at the crane in the background that is turning ....

i find it impossible to judge the merits of said mother's parenting skills without more context. maybe the kid had it coming, or maybe the mother was overreacting. while i am inclined to agree with the argument she was correct to assert her authority, it's hard to say without knowing what transpired in the moments leading up to this clip as well as the overall context of the mother-son relationship, no? ... i wonder why this was videotaped to begin with?

... no parabolic mics? : )

hhhnnnnngggghhhhhnnnnnn!! *pop* ... oh shiz I think I broke something ...

Can't say I'm a big fan of the stupid cartoony noises ....

me too
