Why Study Science?
Has science ever looked duller than in this video?

An Extraordinary Escape
Hmm. I vote it's fake. There are too many pixellated patches, suggesting someone has been erased.

Sonseed
Sonseed never achieved much fame when they were playing together twenty-five years ago, but now they're attracting quite a following on the internet. Once you've seen them perform "Jesus is a friend of mine" you may understand why. TheDougsploitation blog recently tracked down the lead singer, Sal Polichetti, and interviewed him.

Candid Camera
Candid Camera was, in my opinion, the greatest TV show about psychology ever made, and this is one of its classic segments: Group behavior in elevator. It speaks volumes about the human need to conform.Another segment I like is "The Interpreter," from the British Candid Camera. Watch as the interpreter never questions the romantic advances the woman makes toward him, even though her "fiancee" is sitting beside him.

Robotic and Redneck Stonehenge
Steve Norris has built a Stonehenge Robotic Digital Clock. I don't think it would work so well as a bedside timepiece (the whirring of it might keep you up at night), but it would definitely be something you could show off to your friends. It would be even cooler if a version of this were built that was the actual size of Stonehenge. (via OhGizmo!)

Plants With Eyes
A strangely disturbing video. The computer graphics are so hyper-realistic that it's easy to think these plants are real. I was uncertain for a while until I did some research and learned that it's a video created by animation studio 1st Avenue Machine. Their website states that they create "high end design work by employing 3D in ways that blur the line between what we perceive as real and impossible." The music is "Sixes Last" by Alias.
