I think it is terribly sad that even though we know there are so many healing plants and the possibility of finding even more is almost definite, the rainforests are still being cut down at a massively fast rate.

In this National Geographic video, a respected shaman in Paraguay (which has one of the highest deforestation rates) leads researchers to different places to find certain medicinal plants. One in particular they go to find is of interest to scientists as part of cancer research.

Call me a tree hugger if you like, but the cutting down of rain forests makes me so mad. They keep cutting even though we know there are amazing forms of life in there and possible cures to some of the worst human diseases.

And yet they keep cutting.

This animated video features a song that will easily get stuck in your head, some adult content, and a statement about the human influence on nature.

I love it. It takes you through being amused, to giggling a bit over some ‘naughty’ things, and just when you’re paying the most attention, BAM! It makes a statement you won’t quite forget. Yeah, you’ll probably go back and giggle a bit more over it, but it’s the ending that makes this video complete.

Warning: Some adult content. (more…)

I hate this advert, well I hate the original, I love this spoof version if I’m honest. One added scene and it can make a crappy advert, dubbed in to English featuring a kid on the toilet, the best thing since sliced bread. Just watch it, and see if you can spot the extra scene….

I’ve never been a fan of interspecies sex. Wow, what a statement that is, but let me explain. There are a species of animal called ligers, basically the offspring of a lion mating with a tiger. I don’t know if this occurs naturally in the wild, or if scientists get the lion to take the tiger out on a series of dates, then after a romantic film at the cinema, they both get drunk, one thing leads to another and hey presto, we have a liger. But I digress, watch this clip from YouTube and see for yourselves…

This video is bizarre and slightly disturbing, as it tells the story of an English mother who still breastfeeds her daughter at 8… yes Eight years old. Now that is a bit strange, and makes me feel slightly nauseous. I was breastfed, not that I can remember but my mum informs me I was, and that’s fine, I think breastfeeding a baby is perfectly natural and normal. I don’t even shirk or look away when a new mother does it in public, and actually think it’s quite beautiful. But, that’s for babies, not 8 year olds who are at school, and have friends and lives of their own, isn’t that just a bit sick?!?

Taken from the BazzaRoberts1’s Description of the video, and the scene it depicts… “The view from the summit is awesome and stretches 100 miles where the horizon is curved. This panorama was filmed at about 8.10am after spending 30 mins on the summit and then descending 1800m to the relative safety of Camp 1 at 7100m. You can just see 3 climbers from the south col route about 100m below, approaching the summmit at the end of the clip.”

This is bizarre but oh so cool. Now I know it’s in Japanese so most of you readers/viewers (myself included) can’t understand what’s going on but seeing is believing… yes, that really is some goldfish living inside a deep fat fryer.

Oh my god, would you look at the size of that! That is the biggest bit of hail I have ever seen in my life and surely the biggest you have too. The poster says the storm happened in Woodson, Texas, so that’s one place I won’t ever be visiting if stuff like that falls from the sky. As one of the commenters said, why on earth did these fools get out of the car! Ice of that size falling from the sky can surely kill a man. And if you watch the clip through to the end, you can see the damage it can do to a car.

On March 3rd of this year 2007, there was a full lunar eclipse visible from the UK, and Northern Europe. This video shows the process of the moon being first covered and then revealed into full sunlight again. It was pretty spectacular and this guy has done a very good job of taking the video footage and editing it down to a short 3 minute YouTube clip. The whole thing started at about 10:30pm and went on until about 3am the next morning. (more…)
