China Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 PHOTO: Mount Everest, in two billion pixels You must have seen thousands of photographs of Everest.

China Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 (edited) If you go to the far right of the image and zoom in all the way you can see a person (sherpa?) standing near the top of the ridge and he appears to be looking right at the camera. Zoomed out you can't see him as he is just a speck. Edit: Actually, now that I look at it closer it appears to be just a trick of the light (and shadows) that makes it look like a person. It isn't one. Edited December 19, 2012 by China Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Shark-eating seal among rare and stunning scenes documented off South Africa Chris and Monique Fallows have witnessed many extraordinary events while diving off South Africa. But during two recent expeditions they captured wildly spectacular scenes that may never have been photographed: that of a voracious cape fur seal boldly snacking on large sharks; and dozens of blue sharks gathered around and gorging on an enormous ball of bait fish. Of the former event, revealing the raw dynamics of the food chain, Chris Fallows said: "There were eight guests aboard our vessel, many of them seasoned wildlife enthusiasts. None had ever seen anything like this as sharks of this size are certainly not usually considered food for seals.

China Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Owl unhurt behind grill after 60mph smash http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=S-VbSGjhA3E#! A great horned owl had an amazing escape after it was hit at 60mph by a 4WD car on a US motorway. Driver Sonji Coney Williams spotted the owl but couldn't avoid it as she drove south on the Florida Turnpike. "I was driving about 60mph, he never moved, and so, I said 'Oh, my God, I hit a bird', and I felt so bad but it was very dark and we didn't pull over," she said. Ms Williams assumed the bird had been killed, until the following day when it was spotted - alive - behind the radiator grill of her vehicle in Plantation, Florida.

Bang Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 The best part of that story is finding out there's a place in Florida called "YEEHAW JUNCTION". I mean, really. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighPlainsDrifter Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Speaking of owls, I built a box for the barred owls I kept hearing near my property and they have been using it for the past three years. Here is a video of the male that I took this morning: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoSkins0721 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Using super-futuristic tech to grant you "magical" power over computers, smartphones, and other nerd machines, MYO's an armband that measures the shifting electricity in forearm muscles, and can be programmed to translate movements like a flick of the wrist or a finger snap into everything from volume control, to page scrolling, to any other task that'd require much less energy to complete using a regular old mouse. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CprHRsa1OTo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 This video represents a total elapsed time of over 21 hours.* The energy flowing along those magnetic loops is immense, enough to power our entire planet for many millennia. Note the part about a minute in when the size of the Earth is shown for comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) ran across this on you-tube. cartoonists must have eaten a few sugar cubes in the day. crazy stuff. In my wheelhouse... The dinosaur is Gertie, the first animated film of any kind. Audiences freaked out. The white spook thing floating and contorting is an animated ''music video' by the Fleischer studio, for Cab Calloway's "St. James Infirmary". it's long legs are an interpretation of his ever present white tux with tails, and his rubber legs. DEFINITELY trippy. Completely done by hand.. that 90 seconds is probably 5,000 individual paintings. It starred Fleischer characters Betty Boop and Koko the clown. You'll note that Koko and the spook both mirror Calloway's signature moves. Check this guy out if you never have... Cab calloway laid some major groundwork...the first minute of this one is him doing his dance that is animated above. and should you ever wonder what was really up.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlAIOZiWrBc ~Bang Edited February 28, 2013 by Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
