Unexpected

Buenos dias,

Exceedingly nerdy is this trio of musicians performing entirely on hand-held digital appliances. Impressive use of a bunch of nifty software. And a nice little tune, too.

Anteaters Expert Wasted Entire Life Studying Anteaters
This segment of "Critter Corner" from the Onion News Network's Today Now! investigates the fruit of 15 years of research on anteaters. The zoologist responsible for this stunning work and his energy and enthusiasm might give you a new appreciation for the elusive jungle dweller. On second thought, forget it... this poor sap has wasted his life studying the most boring animals in the world.

Expert On Anteaters Wasted Entire Life Studying Anteaters

Ant colony plaster-blaster
Scientists, or at least we assume they're scientists, pour concrete down an ant nest, then clear away the soil when it's hardened. The good stuff starts at about 2:50, with the rest effectively talking about how great ants are. Fascinating stuff, as the shape of the colony is revealed, despite the slightly disturbing callousness of the crew amidst all the killing. I hope they don't start thinking your house is interesting. A bit long, but fascinating and incredibly amazing. (Yes, this one is real.)

Garfield minus Garfield
Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolor disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life? Friends, meet Jon Arbuckle. Let’s laugh and learn with him on a journey deep into the tortured mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against lonliness and methamphetamine addiction in a quiet American suburb.
