To air is human

Aloha,

Pets are a seemingly never-ending source of amazement, amusement and video opportunity. Here's a bizarro film of someone blasting compressed air at a dog's face. Said dog can feel it but can't see it, yet retaliates nonetheless. "Hello Sophie, would you like some air?"

Try this odd, short, stick-figure animation about a clearly deluded man -- though he sounds like Stephen Hawking, he thinks he's Bill Murray. And if you can explain to me what happens at the end, I’d appreciate it.

The Torture Playlist
And finally, we learned from the ousting of Noriega so many years ago, that music is another weapon in our military's arsenal. Well apparently it has been used in American military prisons and on bases to induce sleep deprivation, "prolong capture shock," disorient detainees during interrogations -- and also drown out screams. Based on a leaked interrogation log, news reports, and the accounts of soldiers and detainees, here are some of the songs that guards and interrogators chose.
