Duelity

My previous post on Creationism sparked some interesting discussions, both in the comments and over e-mail. I recently came across a very well done video concerning Creationism vs. Evolution (click on the "watch" menu at the top).

The animations and imagery in all of their videos are fantastic;incredibly beautiful no matter what you believe. I suggest you watch then in order - creationism, evolution, then duality. Let me know if you notice anything familiar.

Acrobots and Screamin’ Beans

Acrobots Beans I love the internet for many reasons. One reason is that I occasionally stumble upon little things that make me giggle, then smile, and then waste 10 minutes doing absolutely nothing. Today I have two such wonderfully quirky things to share with you:

The first is Acrobots, a hypnotic time drain. You control small three-armed "acrobots" as they gracefully try to keep each other aloft. There's not much point to it - and yet I still found it quite enthralling.

The second one, Screamin' Beans, makes me laugh hysterically... but I'm not sure why. You'll want to mute your sound if there are other people around. Just keep clicking on things - you'll see what happens! I love the super saiyan reference at the end too!

Zombie College

Eric Kaplan's Zombie College is a quirky online cartoon about a guy that turns down MIT to attend Arkford University and follow his girlfriend. The only problem? The campus is swarming with zombies. Honestly, this is why regular broadcast television is on the way out: look how weird and funny shows get when they don't worry about market share and political correctness.

On a side note, as I only have about 1 month left before I am completely done with my school work, thesis writing has switched into high gear. From now until July 7th I will include my current thesis word count (twc) as motivation to stop posting and continue writing.

current twc: 9,830

I Miss the Animaniacs

Here's a funny video about the countries of the world [2mb], sung by Yakko (one of the Animanaics). I still get a kick out of the sheer lunacy of it all, not to mention all the hard work that must have gone into producing this 2 minute segment.

For those who don't know: Animaniacs was an animated series on the WB which, in addition to being juvenile, was usually rather clever and funny. Popular characters included Pinky and the Brain and Yakko, Wakko, and Dot.
