The aliens are out on the streets, learning about objects they encounter there. One thing that I noticed is that they have no problem understanding both uses for the word "shop" -- and just in time for the holidays, too.
Tree, Tree, Tree!!!
No, Thats a lamp post.

Despite my best efforts, I haven't started my German language training yet, but I already am receiving an education. My experience feels remarkably like what this video depicts.

Now that the weekend is over, let's go back to my social education -- some of my social training includes *gasp* conjugal unpleasantness.

The Bible states clearly in Genesis 3:16 that the man rules over the woman.
Did anyone follow this guy's "logic"? If so, please do explain to the rest of us who are still mortally confused. A flowchart might be helpful.

"The gospel according to Saint Bastard"? That particular book was never allowed in the original New Testament for obvious reasons.

Good news for those of you who wish to purchase a new book for your friends and colleagues for Christmas: the book, Green Man, Blue Cat has finally been published to rave reviews! The intended audience is children, but apparently working adults are the biggest fans. I can hardly wait for my review copy!

More homework into the social/cultural side of things. Hrm, how did the BBC comedy chaps learned the story of my spouse and why I married him?

This video is a clip is part of my research. Since I have been invited to some social events in Germany, I thought I'd brush up on my etiquette. This is especially important since the only social events I've attended in my adult life were watching sporting events on TV whilst drinking beer in a pub somewhere (astonishingly, I even managed to offend NYCers by making publicly known to my beer swilling colleagues my opinion about the Yankees -- an original…

I admire Stephen Colbert because he looks like a relatively conservative man, but inside his suit-clad body is trapped a brilliant but twisted eight-year-old, as you will notice during this video of his interview with Ploughshares Fund President Joe Cirincione.
"Well .. you made it .. ugly."

It's been difficult, but I am so proud of the Rethuglicans for finally finding someone to be their 2012 presidential candidate who accurately reflects their values and mental capabilities so well!

This is Stephen Fry, waxing eloquent on the joys of swearing. Since this is British swearing, I find it amusing but not terribly offensive (I think Americans are much better at swearing).

Take a close look at the pie chart shown on this FOX Newscast and tell me if you see anything wrong with it?
This man is yet another shining example of the conservative kneejerk response to the so-called "liberal bias" in today's media. Was this newscaster's brain switched to the "on" position when he read those numbers?

Imagine the crisis that occurred when President Obama's teleprompter unexpectedly stopped functioning during a family dinner. Fortunately, he is capable of remembering his script, unlike the moron who was in office one year ago....

I've watched this video several times and it is hilarious and well-done and will likely give you a smile too.
grrlscientist | November 10, 2009tags: insects, comedy, humor, satire, bentekr, animation, streaming video
If the previous video wasn't enough to make you laugh, then this one will do the trick. Silly, funny, fun, but .. is there a meaning to this?
Or maybe I should instead have entitled this "Ladybug pwns Dragonflies"?
