Check out this massive leaf-cutter ant colony, which was filled with 10 tons of concrete and then excavated over the course of several weeks to reveal its structure:That's some serious business! On a related note, have you ever read Leiningen versus the Ants?

Surely you've heard about chimps being pretty smart, and able to use tools to accomplish certain tasks, right? Similar to how they can use a stick to catch termites, here is another demonstration of chimpanzee intelligence at work.Obviously this particular chimp thought long and hard about how best to use that frog! It's mind-blowing! Just remember, by some estimates chimps and humans share more

Similar to an older post on online games - tanks - here's another one. How many airplanes and helicopters can you land without crashing them?Try to ignore the "warning" message - if the guys at freeonlinegames.com were that worried about people stealing their content they wouldn't have put an "embed this game in your website" link on it, now would they?Another simple, but totally addicting game.

Who is Aegis Oil? The fictional oil company bad guys in 1994's On Deadly Ground, whose CEO (played by Michael Caine) personifies everything that's evil about the Big Awl bidness.It's disappointing that a lot of what this movie was against 16 years ago has not changed. Keep in mind that 1994 was just 5 years after the Exxon Valdez oil spill, but here we are today, facing what's quite possibly

Imagine it's 1969 -- no one's ever heard any Matchbox 20, Parliament, Rage Against The Machine, Michael Jackson, Shania Twain...Check out footage never seen before (by me, which is what really matters) of the ROLLING STONES in Prime Time -- The World's Greatest Rock 'N' Roll Band. As I like to say about Barry Lamar Bonds, "We will never see his like again in our lives..."MICK! KEEF! AAAAAAHHHHH!

Yesterday, in a stunning display of arrant contempt, 3 of the big-bank CEOs who had been summoned to the White House blew off the President of the United States. Mr. Obama was expecting them at a televised meeting of their peers so he could be seen to be lecturing them on how they needed to increase consumer lending, among other things.(An aside: in case you've forgotten, the big banks were given

Here's a really cool visualization of exactly that, created by Roy Prol.He's included sky shots from some well-known places around the globe: the Eiffel Tower in Paris, Cristo Redentor in Rio de Janeiro, Quito, Malmö, New York City, Uluru in Australia, Madrid, the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Azadi

There are no problems with the banking system right now. Things may be a little rough, but that's nothing major. Your insured deposits are fully insured. The government ensures it. There's no reason to panic. Nothing bad will happen. Nobody has ever lost a dime.In other news, it's Bank Failure Friday, and the FDIC has closed 106 banks so far this year, including 10 in the past week (as of today,

This is the latest YouTube viral video sensation - fisticuffs on a San Francisco Municipal Railway (or Muni, as the locals call it) bus in Chinatown. Put "Muni Fight" into Google and you'll see what I'm talking about.The first punch is thrown at about 1:15 in this clip.

There's been a bit of a tempest in a teacup lately about Barack Obama speaking to schoolchildren at the beginning of the school year. Let's not get into a debate on the merits of that event, but rather take a look back in time.Less than a year ago, at the time of this writing, Dubya was still in the White House. Do you think any children were "indoctrinated" during his time in DC? Let's have a

Volkswagen's L1 Concept was revealed at the Frankfurt Motor Show."In many ways this 840lb, tandem-seat machine is the most important car at the show and just as much a supercar as the Lamborghini Reventón or Bugatti Sang Bleu.It teaches people that 'super’ powers don’t have to equate with a gargantuan size, weight and fuel consumption. Super is as super does and the L1 has super in spades." (MORE

I found this article on Huffington Post:Ernie Anastos...did he really say that? And I thought to myself...."that is such a classic line that there has to be a remix out there in You Tube land". So, as my darling daughter says, I "searched it up". Sure enough there were a few videos. I clicked through a couple of them and was not impressed. Then I found this one:The RemixThis one is special...
