Help "Nancy Sends the Slab" go viral

Recently, I went on a hiking trip in southeastern Utah with my parents, grandparents, and led by my aunt and uncle.  We visited several amazing ruins, which I will post pictures of later on.  On the way back one day, we had to scale a steep slab to get back to the car.  My grandparents (ages 79 and 83) were struggling to ascend it.  We managed to capture a video of my grandmother climbing, which was later posted on YouTube.  This incredible video shows something not every 79-year-old could do, and your comment, like, or even mere viewing of this video will help it along to the fame it deserves.
A random thought: Zoidberg emoticon, anyone? (V) (,',',) (V)

LEGO Man in Space

On January 26, 2012, two ambitious 17-year-olds from Toronto, Canada, hatched an ingenious plan.  They spent a grand total of $400 on equipment: surplus weather balloons, dozens of tanks of helium, a GPS tracking system, and a small digital video camera.  What were they going to do?
Launch a LEGO man holding a plastic Canadian flag into the air attached to a weather balloon.  The boys (Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad) were clever.  The rigged the camera so you could see the LEGO ascending.  They filled the balloon with just enough air that it would pop once it entered the atmosphere so it would be within range to find it again.  They attached a GPS to it and tracked to the landing location.  They even sewed a little parachute for the camera so it wouldn't break on the way back down. Their plan succeeded without a glitch. The balloon reached the atmosphere.  The camera was retrieved and the footage was breathtaking.  The video is now up on YouTube-- and below!
Watch the flight of the LEGO man now:

The Sound Machine and other creepy experimantal films

Hey, so I have a friend who, besides being an AMAZING yet dark artist, also makes creepy experimental films under "The Human OBSCENE" on Youtube.  I'd reccommend his films very highly, especially The Sound Machine, The Food Machine, and Jonathan Alone.  Since I'm at school and Youtube is blocked, I'll post a link later, but meanwhile YOU can go to Youtube and search any of the above film titles.  Prepare to be disturbed!
