This is some video of what’s called the Flamboyant Cuttlefish

This one shows their ability to rapidly change their texture:

This is a short clip from NOVA telling some of the science behind how a cuttlefish works:

Towards the end of this one you can see them flashing their colors and reflectors:

Charismatic: Only 1 – Hands are already in the air.

Pentecostal: 10 – One to change the bulb, and nine to pray against the spirit of darkness.

Presbyterians: None – Lights will go on and off at predestined times.

Roman Catholic: None – Candles only.

Baptists: At least 15 – One to change the light bulb, and three committees to approve the change and decide who brings the potato salad and fried chicken.

Episcopalians: 3 – One to call the electrician, one to mix the drinks and one to talk about how much better the old one was.

Mormons: 5 – One man to change the bulb, and four wives to tell him how to do it.

Unitarians: We choose not to make a statement either in favor of or against the need for a light bulb. However, if in your own journey you have found that light bulbs work for you, you are invited to write a poem or compose a modern dance about your light bulb for the next Sunday service, in which we will explore a number of light bulb traditions, including incandescent, fluorescent, 3-way, long-life and tinted, all of which are equally valid paths to luminescence.

Methodists: Undetermined – Whether your light is bright, dull, or completely out, you are loved. You can be a light bulb, turnip bulb, or tulip bulb. Bring a bulb of your choice to the Sunday lighting service and a covered dish to pass.

Nazarene: 6 – One woman to replace the bulb while five men review church lighting policy.

Lutherans: None – Lutherans don’t believe in change.

Amish: — What’s a light bulb?

This video has an interesting, refreshing, new (and slightly cheesy) take on Canon in D.

CANON EM D – by Paulinho Winterle:

The tallest recorder is about twelve feet tall (the sub-subcontrabass, also known as the octocontrabass), and is actually the tallest woodwind in the world (instruments such as bassoons and french horns are longer, but they’re all wound up in themselves and aren’t physically that tall).

I’m not entirely sure if he’s playing a sub-contrabass or a sub-subcontrabass in this video, since he doesn’t say, but it’s one of those two.

And here is a picture of a Sub-Contrabass Recorder by Adriana Breuknik which was featured on the cover of the Spring 2001 Recorder Magazine:

They don’t show all the steps in detail (such as tuning) but this is an interesting general overview of how a recorder is made:
