Future Darwin Award nominee. That's desert terrain, and there's obviously been a flood. Look at the road: it's covered with alluvial rocks and sand, and part of it has already fallen into the river. Does it not occur to this guy that most of the stuff on the road came from the slope to his immedi...

@ghosthunter2006 Have you no idiots in your own country? We certainly have our share in the United States. Unfortunately, some of them think it's fun to post ignorant, offensive remarks on YouTube. They like it when you get mad because it's the only time anyone pays attention to them. My guess is...

Tea Party members get ripped off just like the rest of us, but they can't hear that message because their ears are full of nonsense generated by the covertly-funded noise machine. It tells them that their government isn't theirs, and that ripoff artists are the good guys. It distracts them with s...

So beautiful!

What were they chanting at the end?

Evocative and restrained. Thank you for making this.

Calm down. Every country has its idiots. These are some of America's. They don't know anything about the rest of the world, and they're proud of it.

I'll be there.

Great video. Beats the hell out of convention flyers.

@maximum411 If your mother didn't grow up with "th", she'll never acquire it. It's much harder to pick up sounds you didn't hear spoken as a child. I grew up around Spanish-speakers, so I'm good with "ll" and "ñ" and that sound that's halfway between "b" and "v". But some of those complex Dutch v...

Dogs are the only animals that share man's fallen state.

@alphavenes If both died within two weeks, either you were doing something seriously wrong, or (more likely) the pet store sold you unhealthy hamsters. A little knowledge will fix both problems. There are a lot of good websites and short books out there that will tell you everything you need to k...

That guy really likes his french fry. He shouldn't get them every day, but once in a while won't hurt him.

Hamsters only make that sound when they're in deep distress. It's either terrified, angry, or in pain.

@22reTOYOTA You know there are dumb people in the world, and people who are maybe not dumb but don't know how to handle fireworks safely. This video is for them. If your sense of freedom and independence is so wimpy that a safety video makes you feel threatened, you're beyond help. Have fun hidin...

@Tunnelfish2 The message of the sparkler demo is: "Sparklers are hot enough to burn flesh and start fires. Don't let children play with them unsupervised." Some people think that because sparklers are labeled "safe and sane fireworks," they can't hurt you. The demo corrects that. ... So, you're A...

National Geographic gets great footage, but I wish they'd follow the example of documentarians like Ken Burns and David Attenborough, and lay off the overdramatic narration. It's a freakin' 5000 pound bomb! They're talking about the Chicxulub impact and K-T boundary extinctions! Do they think we'...

No, it's not faked. It's called cataplexy, and it's a symptom of narcolepsy. Cataplexy is defined as a sudden loss of muscle strength caused by some strong emotion. For narcoleptic dogs, that means chasing a ball or getting a doggy treat. For humans with narcolepsy, it's most often triggered by l...

If the dog's collapses are triggered by excitement, the term for what's happening is cataplexy, which is a sub-symptom of narcolepsy. That will be why they're treating him with antidepressants -- that class of drugs does nothing for the other symptoms of narcolepsy, like simple hypersomnolence, b...

Get a straight-sided plastic bucket he can't climb out of, but not so high that he'll get hurt falling in. Put food and water in the bottom. Build a little staircase of books up the outside of the bucket. Go to sleep. Check in the morning to see if he's there. ... Give the guy a break. Hamsters a...

Took me a minute to remember what kind of self-important idiots would claim this is faked: ones that don't have the emotional maturity to cope with the feelings of fear and sorrow that come from being reminded that you live on a planet where things like this can happen. They don't know how to dea...

STAY SAFE:

1. Pay attention to warnings.

2. A tsunami doesn't look dangerous when it's passing through deep water. It only turns into a big wave when it reaches the shore. If you're standing on the shore when that happens, you're in trouble.

3. The same goes for seacoast giant wave alerts.

There are no right or wrong lyrics for this song. It's a genuine folk song, and there are hundreds (possibly thousands) of versions of it. If the version you learned as a child had nifty internal rhymes and was intended to gross out your hearers, it was authentic.

Note: the song was first record...

My hamsters have a palatial five-level high-rise cage with a deluxe wheel and lots of climbing toys, but they still try to escape. It's just a thing hamsters naturally do, like ferrets stealing and hiding stuff, cats batting stuff around on the floor, and hedgehogs getting their heads stuck in ca...

That's not amethyst, bismuth, or chalcopyrite. It's a regular quartz crystal with a thin artificial coating of titanium and niobium (like the "Aurora Borealis" coating on Swarovski beads). They're sold to New Agers for lotsa bucks as "Flame Aura Crystals." There are other colors that use differe...

UAintseenNothingYet1, I know lots of self-confident straight guys, and none of them are fascinated by homosexuality the way you are. After a while, your ostensible content matters less than the fact that you've posted OBSESSIVELY about it, over and over and over again.
