The History Buff

You'll find some historic recordings on this page. Very interesting. Some of these I had never heard before.

Cool Honda commercial

This is a pretty cool commercial, it was all done as you see it. There is one spot, when the tires are going uphill, that bothers me though. You can see the second tire on the ramp speed up, then keep going after it hits the other tire. Something fishy there.

Here's an article that explains the uphill tires. Or so they say.

"They do so because inside they have been weighted with bolts and screws which have been positioned with fingertip care so that the slightest kiss of kinetic energy pushes them over, onward and, yes, upward."

Python Boy

I really don't know what to say about this, it's bizarre. Please, do not try this at home. Really, do not allow children to play with large constrictors. Supervised or unsupervised, never. Even if he is the son of a dragon. They are so much stronger than you can possibly imagine and you never know when one simple movement or smell could set off an instinctive chain of events that cannot be broken until it is complete. The feeding instinct of a snake is very strong and like a computer program, once you hit enter it does each job in turn until it's done and there is no control-alt-delete on a snake. Boom-boom-boom. The finished product is a dead animal.

Speaking of Animals

Polar bear attacks submarine.

More animals

Funny Cats. I think it's a clip from Planet's Funniest Animals on Animal Planet.

I got the link from Karen, thank you Karen.

I found some funny animal pictures on this page too.
