tags: Where the Hell is Matt?, documentary, streaming video Here's a wonderful streaming video that celebrates this beautiful world and the people in it! It celebrates our common humanity, regardless of where we live, or what we look like. My favorite parts were when Matt was dancing among the red…
Speaking of Hagfish, check out this pig: Ick. This bizarre-looking piglet has been nicknamed Cyclops because one of its three eyes is in the centre of its head. And the little pig was also born with two mouths, one on each side of its head. It also has two noses and will have two sets of teeth…

I test out as non-toaster.

Love the Bollywood scene where he synchs up with the dancers. APOD is a daily visit for me.

Man, this video made me smile very deeply for the entire time it played. It's really uplifting. Stephanie, you must be one of these people.

Janie, it started when he was on the stage with the kids. They were performing--it showed all over their faces. They should have been dancing. He was dancing, even when he imitated their moves. They gave up something to learn how to perform. At least in my experience, it takes an awful lot to figure out how to get from there back to dancing. Watching everyone else dancing after that was a bit much, even though it was exactly what should happen. That's why.
