[emirmrki979]

hahaahahahah

[alexx96thesecond]

I WENT THERE ITS WAS COOL

[Gonk]

How neat and yeah that do make a good couple lol

[gasmask80]

They both make a good couple

[crazysoccerman14]

Freaking cool!

If I go near San Francisco I will be there.

[StudioSHYB]

i thought the amazon part was awesome..

[byScrooby]

"God: Hidden Science" - Google it!

[Shymon671]

the building is lovely, but the chick makes the video amazing to watch over and over again.

[topone68]

grande renzo piano..

[Madspirit6666]

Only a Republican could possibly think...that feeding the brain, is a waste of money.

[SDBPR]

I remember this place! We there three times, but 2/3 times the line was a frakin 1+ mile long. Even then, the line was a line to get into more lines.

[jesse2006]

this museum uses several hundreds of sodium halide lights using the equivalent of a small towns electricity use. wtf? even on a sunny day they were all on. i do like the rooftop gardens.

[marylov]

deadspace

[Mrhashslinginslasher]

sure there are fascinating aspects about this museum but the planetarium inside is amazing!

[TheRichToms]

ma ha

[DeAthWaGer]

Museums are necessary to gain interest in topics that need independent grants for additional research. Going "green" is an excellent marketing strategy.

The idea isn't for people to do exactly WHAT this museum is doing, but actually USE YOUR FUCKING BRAIN to do something smart and creative. Maybe you'll actually change or influence someone's life, instead of being some fucktard going on an online bitch-quest.

To all you haters, you should go read a fucking book.

[anotherbobhead1]

YEAH! YOU LEARN THEM GOOD!

[oneidaml]

I have been here!!!!!!! It is so amazing

[asdfgoogle]

That dude reminds me of zoolander! LMAO!

Cool stuff though.

[Xellos357]

YAYAH!!

go ben stiller!

[gsgarypty]

waste of money..

[kayteequeen]

i would love to visit this place in San Fransisco one day, looks intrgueing to me

[repeatoffender420]

wow thank you!

[TRUMPHENT]

Vegaterian pirahana!! This dark, very dark green! Maybe even as dark as Irish Racing green.

[JPLjanitor]

Ive been there best city in the world

[TheChaotician]

Did anyone see me outside looking for scalpers?

[trance2dance]

This Sat is the opening & admission is 100% free, just for that day of course.

[krashly71]

The woman is hot, not caring about the museum much. The Green mentality is a lie, its about patting yourself on the back and making minimal impact changes, political and social statement changes that in truth are for PR campaigns not real conservation. Any dominant life form evolving as we are will effect its environment and planet, and is in a race against time to get off world or kill itself before we exhaust what we have. Woman is still sexy though....

[Newtoon]

Very nice comment.

Terribly sad but true (for the biggest part).

To become really "green" means living with very scarce means and, to begin, avoiding getting a cute woman (like the cute one of the video) and subsequently sweating to get cars, TVs, fridges and worst, children : absurd avoidance and boring anyway...

We actually seem to be the victims of evolutionnary pressure that push us to reproduce and extend by conquering new worlds with the great and pending risk of self-destruction.

[krashly71]

We are hard wired to populate without limitation to inspire us to evolve and spread off world, the viral mentality. Humanity has to leave earth and spread out, earth will be used up. Any race evolving and learning like we are cannot reach some symbiotic balance with nature and restrict itself. To expand technologically and mentally we must have no limitations on us, must be unfettered. "Green" is like ordering diet coke with your pizza, its a feel good gesture only, its empty.

[Newtoon]

I would be more positive : "Green" is at the least TRYING to come back to the ancient views of an all powerful Nature (you know the american indian stuff).

To sum up for us : to think twice before starting a car, jump in a plane or even buy certain foods etc.

Regarding space colonisation, this is a matter of debate : should we "jump" elsewhere before cleaning the mess or should we first try to counteract the evolutionnary pressure thanks to our brains before making a mess elsewhere.

[krashly71]

For GREEN to work it would have to be global, mandatory, and must be a total social/economical/industrial redux. Life would have to be radically different. We would have to live in low tech agricultural communities to have minimal impact. Who is willing to live like hippies and indians in this age? We are meant to advance technology, and the race is against the resulting pollution that causes. We must advance enough to no longer need earth before its depleted.

[Newtoon]

Well, the current problem is that we are "depleting earth" too quickly.

Where to go after that imminent "depletion" ?

To million light years away on a distant planet that is not found yet ?

That is so Science-Fiction that one cannot buy it.

We do no want to live like hippies ? Sure but Nature will force us to do it because there would be no other choice after many disasters.

Your arguments just let us think : "We cannot refrain doing it and so we are commiting suicide ". True!

[15XG]

Great museum ! Love the idea ,excellent project !

[kenshirohokuto]

Renzo Piano is a genius!

[inthefade]

They aren't random. My accusations are based on observed facts.

So, bite me. Asshole.

[aldurthedrowshade]

Facts must mean made up shit you just thought of, faggot.

gb2skuul

[inthefade]

Yep. Aaaand I was just thinking how much of a stupid cunt you are.

[aldurthedrowshade]

Nothing of what you do passes for thinking. 

Go suck smoke another mile of dicks and cut your wrist. It'll do the world a big favor.

[inthefade]

"smoke another mile of dicks and cut your wrist"?!

Are you even serious? Your insults are so goddamn simple-minded!

We should sterilize dumb fucks like you so we don't have to worry about you breeding.

[aldurthedrowshade]

Way to mirror back my 'simple-minded' "insults."

They weren't insults by the way idiot, they were commands. Fag.

[inthefade]

Is "Fag" the best insult you know?

Oh no!  Someone is *commanding* me across the Internet! I'm so intimidated!

Fuck off.

[aldurthedrowshade]

Like a faggot like you desevers real insults.

Why the fuck are you intimidated? Are you afraid of my scawy twyping? Grow a pair.

[inthefade]

Okay, this has been the most hilarious Internet conversation I've had in a while.

It's been a pleasure.

Vegetarian Piranhas.

[luvjazz]

Wow this museum looks like its going to be amazing!

[AirborneSoviet]

@luvjazz it was AWESOME!

[HershnJax053onGuild]

Wonderful and yet natural. Way to go man and woman. Great video also.

[NINJATURTLEKICK]

THIS SUCKS

[lolusernames]

genious!

[Gvozdov]

wow! that cool!

[staphinfection]

AIR CONDITIONING IN SAN FRANCISCO??? IS SHE SMOKING FUCKING CRACK COCAINE STRAIGHT FROM THE TENDERLOIN???

Who the fuck has air conditioning in SF??

[pikzzi]

I do

[tjblackman08]

Rate my music please!

myspace,com.woolsocks

Thank you.

[djsuperstar717]

that is so cool

[gamilfaris]

faris

[CarlieAnnelovesyou]

This is the coolest thing I think I have ever seen.

[MutilatedMooCow]

"Going green" is about the equivalent of trying to stop an avalanche with a piece of paper. It doesn't matter. The world is fucked. Drive your dumb ass SUV, use toxic chemicals to clean your house, use as many plastic bags as you want. You're all so blind to what is happening politically around the world because you can't get your heads out of your asses, worrying about the fuckin polar bears. Nuclear armageddon is just around the corner and no amount of compact fluorescent bulbs will save you.

[staphinfection]

I LOVE your pessimism, I really do!!

As long as humans exist on Earth, we will never co-exist with nature, NEVER!

So fuck it, go green by smoking a shit ton of weed.

[Covey69]

Wow are you bitter dude. Please smoke some Cannabis and then you'll be Euphoric and happy when you say FTW! :)

[MutilatedMooCow]

Thanks for the suggestion, but if I smoke anymore bud than I do now, my brain will turn to mush and my lungs will murder me.

[Covey69]

Get a vaporizer or a bong with Ice, that will take care of any lung concerns including eating it in some form. Your brain turning to mush you will not have to concern yourself, the LD50 or Lethal Dose 50 it takes for half of the death ratio for mice couldn't be found. In other words they kept upping the dose but the mice came off of the high doses with no negative lasting reactions and couldn't be killed by continually increasing the dosage. 15 Pounds in 15 minutes makes it impossible.

[cramerg2000]

I don't see what's so special... Fine, investing in solar panels and insulation is great. But he cabinets made from cypress trees are not sustainable on a large scale; they probably took 50% of the fallen trees from that forest.

I applaud efforts to help the environment, but focus on the real, practical stuff, not artsy fartsy BS.

[Erlandzinho]

lol

[jonpspmetal]

Another thing to help our Earth .

[Spective10]

Hopefully more follow this lead, green building, evironmental friendly, creating jobs in design, construction, research and employment at the museum itself.

[daddyofsmack]

what a stupid ass waste of money...california is such a shithole

[Spective10]

Versus what? a creationist museum? Yeah the world around you and the study of the planet is pretty "stupid," well, maybe to an idiot.

[daddyofsmack]

How about versus using the money to balance the budget and make it easier on tax payers, shit for brains? Yeah, walking through an artificial rainforest really goes a long way toward helping scientific research. It's a MUSEUM, fuckwit, not a damn laboratory

[stopcrazypp]

Come on, don't tell me you haven't been to a museum before when you were a kid. I think museums are a worthwhile. If it weren't for these kinds of places I doubt most kids will ever have any interest in science.

[Spective10]

Wow, you are so tough with your typing, Jesus would be so proud of you, dickless. Wow, you're pretty bright... museums are used by researches, staffed by biologists. Go back to riding your dino Jesus horse and plugging your ears when you hear the word evolution. You don't even pay taxes you stupid GOP hick of any significance.

[daddyofsmack]

Jesus? You're a fucking idiot

[screweyedfoe]

did they fall in love?

[thomrob10]

check out Thom Robertson

[cinpee]

Vegetarian Piranhas... that's a first.

[inthefade]

"cinpee

Vegetarian Piranhas... that's a first. "

They're just as concerned for the environment as the designers of this museum.

[aldurthedrowshade]

They are fucking animals. They aren't concerned about anything except fucking and eating.

[inthefade]

Hey douchebag,

It was a fucking joke!

How fucking dense can you be?

[aldurthedrowshade]

Good fucking job trying to cover your dumb ass.

[inthefade]

Good job being a fucking moron.

[karirovala]

WOW! Is that where California put it's tax dollars?!

[MunkeyDantsOff]

Alot of private donors contribute to it, and it charges $20 a person and memberships to go inside.

[UnconcernedCitizen]

The color of money is the best color of all.

[Transitiving]

you know what would have been really green is not building it at all.

[SilverLionGR]

I just learned that there are vegetarian piranhas !

[at0mac]

wow...... that place is amazingly beautifull..... I would love to visit it, but it's almost half around the planet :(

[ladykk2]

Where do you live?

[RaCgue]

those penguin are trapped in a meuseum, so innocent :P

[OnEye]

amazing .. but i wonder how earthquake safe it is.

[markpemble]

Who's paying for this?

[imnickim]

vegetarian perona wtf haha

[MunkeyDantsOff]

They're called pacu, they're cousins of the pirahna. She kind of stated it poorly.

[formallyknownasdave]

Rain forest looks verrry cool :P

[constantyoutoober]

Vegetarian piranhas? Oxymoron?

The building looks beautiful, but I'm especially curious about those piranhas...

[testing4echo]

Me too. Very odd.

[prjuni]

Beautiful just beautiful, would love to go there.

[Wirld]

Whoa...

[SlowCountry]

Excellent, I love this! I wish more buildings were being built with a 'green' theme, if you will :)
