Boredom
Boredom Through Ham-carving
If these hams weren't so delicious looking, I'd rank these videos even higher on the boredom scale we have explored here before. Philip Jones is the new maestro of the somnolence-inducing monologue.
And I thought the whole point of a spiral-cut ham was, "no carving involved"...?

Please rate this video for its boredom content, always using "Wooden Bridge Inspection" as your gold standard.
Add some extra points for the irritating traffic and nature noises in the background, and the wandering eyes of the narrators.

Clean Those Valves!
1) Wooden Bridge Inspection
2) Arrow Dipping
3) Cranberry Bog Tour
Have we found a contender to match those in boredom? The speech is out of sync with the lip movements, and there's annoying media broadcast in the background. Plus, the test notes he blows are atrocious!
Winner!

Cranberry Tour
Wooden bridge inspection. Arrow dipping. All pinnacles of monotony and boredom. Does the student-led cranberry tour measure up to these high standrards?
You decide!

Arrow Dipping
Not since "Wooden Bridge Inspection" has boredom reached such glorious heights (or depths).

I did not think it was possible, but I have found an industrial video to rival in boredom the famed "Timber Bridge Inspection."

Timber Bridge Inspection
Perhaps the single most boring video ever created. Utterly mesmerizing in its boredom. Boredom as art. Boring beyond belief.
What do you think? Any other contenders?

A Murder Of… Budgies?
On the eve of the prestigious Cornwall Budgerigar Show, the aviary of Andrew Pooley, one of South England's top budgie breeders, was broken into and 21 of his best birds were stolen. Worse still, several birds were badly injured and one, reigning "best of breed" title holder Penmead Pride, had been killed. Stamped on by the callous intruders.
Because their distinctive markings would be instantly recognised among the close-knit budgie fancying community, the score of stolen budgies are unlikely to ever make another show appearance. And that might suit the culprit just fine, if his intention was to eliminate the competition by fair means or (can't resist, sorry) fowl. Pooley had left the shed unlocked briefly when he ran an errand to the nearby town of Camelford from his home in Delabole in Cornwall, and only noticed something was wrong at 9.45 that evening, when he came to make a final check on his prized birds and was - in an suitably Harrissian moment - startled by the silence of the budgies. Police are still investigating whether this is the work of a competitor but Mr. Pooley is in no doubt.
"The person or people who did this must have known exactly which ones to take because they only targeted my show team," he told reporters (Daily Mail).
