Before Flock of Dodos and Shifting Baselines, Randy Olson was inspiring the next generation of marine scientists with educational videos on topics in our field. My first semester in graduate school, I was dazzled by a particular captivating piece from 1991. Craig McClain referenced this project when he was in town (it's notorious in marine science circles), so yesterday I encouraged my pal RO to post his earlier work on youtube. Unforgettable footage that will leave you just a little more informed about the wonderful world of barnacles.
Most quoted line: 'Barnacles Are Very Well Hung'

Though it is a parodic send-up of 50's educational school films and not so classy as Randy's, this one here remains my favorite. It is an absolute hoot! http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=560641303896109248&q=SubGenius

Having done a little work for Art Clokey ( Gumby ) I learned to love claymation. This was hilarious.

The problem with correlations though, is that there could be any number of reasons to explain particular data patterns.
