Not to mention also then needing Flashblock plugin to disable the heinous adverts that come wrapped in flash and eat your web pages.

Yes. In fact, someone came up with a hack to allow you to download the .flv file to your computer and YouTube quickly made some changes to make his FireFox plug-in not work. These sites don't want to get sued by content owners.

KeepVid works for this: http://www.keepvid.com/

It just produces a download dialog for the FLV file. There are a few tools out there to play the files.

An obvious fake. Since airbags deploy in about 25 milliseconds, I should not be able to see the airbag inflate. But I can.

That was close!

My son sent me this link tonight that will appeal to the Rube Goldbergs among us. I wish I knew more details about it, it looks like the result of a Japanese (?) contest, and some of these folks are astonishingly creative, particularly the one where the marble plays the melody on the water glasses.

There are so many common elements in the constructions that perhaps there was some sort of "kit" and rules to follow?

I can only imagine the number of hours (Tens? Hundreds?) that went into some of these.

See for yourself...

Oh, and look! There's a sequel!

When I was little I used to have the exact same wooden channels they use in over half those setups. I remember they came in one of those plastic mesh bags with a smaller plastic mesh bag containing the marbles. I wonder if I still have any...maybe I'll build my own little Rube Goldberg machine sometime...

I wouldn't want to wear that on a hot day... or for very long periods on *any* day!
Nice effect for a suit, though.

This one might not appeal to everyone, but if you know anything about Glen Danzig...
Danzig getting knocked the F out

And of course there's the classic G.I. Joe service announcements

How about why I got fired from Apple?

And this one rules... a game animator animated two characters to Tenacious D's "Rock Song"... awesome. The guy rocking out to the guitar at the end kills me every time.

Montage of several angles of yesterday's nuclear power plant demolition.
http://hansv.com/trojan_implosion/

The plant is^h^h was a fairly large and visible landmark, on the Columbia river that marks the border between Oregon and Washington. You can see it clearly from interstate 5, the main arterial that runs down the West coast.

I happened to be driving up from Portland shortly after the demolition. The dust was still in the air. All the trees surrounding the area were tan colored, from the dust. I knew there was going to be a demolition of the plant, but thought it was going to be today rather than yesterday. Too bad I didn't know more details, otherwise I would have been able to leave on time to watch the implosion as it happened.

I'm going to miss that landmark. When driving to Portland, it was always my cue that I was nearing my destination. Now you can only see the containment dome, and you have to look a bit more closely to see that.

I hope noone else has posted this but I just couldn't tear myself away from it. Maybe Sesame Street rotted my brain - it's a wonder that I don't say "zee"...

I was just sure that at the end when THEY call for support and you're shown the trace that the call takes thier phone in the back room would ring.

Sesame Street produces local segments that differ based on cultural backgrounds. Perhaps you don't say 'zee' because the 'zee' bits were replaced with 'zed' bits?
