The crop circles of 2009 are promising to surpass earlier years. So either the aliens are getting better at it or the secret prize money at the local pub is enough to be inspiring.  I quite like the jellyfish design this year – the first ever jellyfish  crop circle but then there are a lot [...]

While not mentioned in the video, there are those that believe the tree octopus to most heavily populated in the vicinity of Mt. Octopus on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State. This location is in close proximity to the town featured in the Twilight series and I don’t see how that could possibly be a [...]

Complete with sound effects, it’s hard to beat a good pirate movie, particularly if you can pull it off in under four minutes. Note at the end there’s a materials list so no more excuses for not building your own fully animated Lego theater.

And no, I’m not disclosing the URL!  After hours of searching, what I can’t find is a video of senior citizens in either a wheelchair or walker drill team [...]

Just by watching their above ground behavior you might not think ants would have such complex and regulated environments downstairs.  If it didn’t involve killing them, ant colony castings would probably catch on as the next art craze.  But there’s no reason for the non-scientists not to enjoy the aesthetic aspects of scientific research.  Watch [...]

Although it’s considerably more low tech than the Samsung LED sheep video, there is now a UK trial run of sheep as billboards, which could spread to more sheep a lot faster than the LED jackets, even if it’s not quite as fun.  But maybe if it works, there will be a combo; LED illuminated [...]
