grrlscientist | July 11, 2006Caught on video; even lifeguards need to take a break now and again.
So .. do you think all those people went back into the pool after that performance? Would you go back into the pool if you were there?

As some of you might remember, I lived in Tokyo for awhile when I was a grad student. When I left the States, I had never eaten Japanese food before and, as a microbiologist, I was worried about my impending death after being eaten alive by parasitic worms that I would get from eating raw fish. I worried about this until I had my first taste of sushi. After my first taste of sushi, well, I didn't care if I died as the result of eating Japenese cuisine; I simply knew that I had to have more and that, if I did die, it would be with a smile and tuna sashimi on my lips. The food was fabulous…

I thought you all would enjoy this silly video of a British journalist interviewing several members of the Iraqi resistance in the swirling sands near Tikrit.

Am I unpatriotic if I don't own a TV?

grrlscientist | June 23, 2006This parody of The Lord of the Rings is from the MTV Movie Awards. It depicts how The Fellowship was set up in the first film. It is absolutely funny, but it is a bit er .. bawdy .. or, er .. suggestive .. as well (not that I disapprove; just warning you).

grrlscientist | June 20, 2006I want to share this amusing video with all of you, particularly with one very special reader, Joe [surname elided to protect him from his stupidity], who was so moved by this piece that I wrote that he has been emailing repeatedly to let me know that I am a poorly-educated liar. In fact, Joe was so inspired by my writing that he ignored my request to stop filling my email box with his offensive, narrow-minded tripe by responding with this erudite and truly revealing message;
You are presumptuous. Stop trying to enlighten the world with your parroting of evolutionary dogma. I am not going to…

Every time I heard that stupid song, that's what I thought the Beach Boys were singing, too! It took years before I could hear them singing "Barbra Ann" instead.

grrlscientist | June 7, 2006In April 2006, to celebrate naturalist Sir David Attenborough's 80th birthday, the public were asked to vote on their favorite of his television moments. This clip of the superb lyrebird, Menura novaehollandiae, from his ten-part series, The Life of Birds, was voted number one.

There are two species of lyrebirds that are endemic to Australia. They are ground-dwelling birds that are most notable for their extraordinary ability to mimic natural and artificial sounds from…

Several times in the past, I've linked to Kim Bostwick's research with South American manakins from Birds in the News, but now there is a streaming slow-motion video of her moonwalking manakins (click for alternate video source), complete with music. At certain times of the day, there is high demand for this video, so you might have to return later to view it.
Hattip: Dawn.

Yes, I laughed because I am starring in this same movie right now, although I have enacted a few minor costume alterations, of course. (Be sure to watch the people's reactions to the star of this film, keeping in mind that all these people appear to be in Hollywood, where weird sights can be found around every street corner).

After watching this video, I am not sure if I should shake my head or just drink excessively.

This is a hilarious parody of the movie, The Ten Commandments. I wish this was a real film, I'd be certain to attend the pre-release screening! [1:18]
Thanks, Dawn!

grrlscientist | May 15, 2006I have never owned a television in my life and I have (so far!) steadfastly refused all offers of free TVs, which, I suppose, effectively makes me into a conversational wasteland according to modern American conversation standards.
But honestly, there are times when I wish I did have my own TV .. times such as the college basketball playoffs, the Triple Crown of American horse racing, the Presidential Debates, college football season, Law and Order reruns and, as of last night .. The Simpsons. But thanks to the magic of divine intervention in the form of my new neighbor's free access…
grrlscientist | March 31, 2006WARNING: NOT SAFE FOR WORK.
Sound, flash, gratuitous use of vulgar language, including the dreaded c-word.
Pretty funny, though. Seeks to answer all your questions about public transit.

Horrors! The Martian Landers, Spirit and Opportunity, are filming on the planet Mars RIGHT NOW with their electron microscope-cameras, but not sharing this important information with us. However, my army of spies found a classroom biology documentary from the future that you will enjoy (follow the link or view the embedded video above by clicking on the little arrow). Why? Because it is all about sex. SEX SEXX SEXXX.
(There, that should increase my traffic, ha!)
I must warn you, dear readers, there is some clay monster nudity, along with simulated stop-motion sex in this film. This film is…
