I particularly liked segments on skydiving, what do you fear ?, and
being alone/
And there were several others. Even the credits at the very end are good too...
a snail finally eats the last message !

Thanks for posting the link as I would have missed it.

I am glad you got to see it lamp. It was something I wanted to see but was busy handing in assignments so I missed it.

There will be another showing sometime this year. I'll probably forget about it, just like the first time. rats

Interact with real live cats online.

Awwwww!
The Oregon Humane Society has set up a playroom where you can log in and control robotic toys for real cats to play with. And of course being real cats they sometimes simply ignore them, but the idea is so cool I've been watching for about 30 minutes. Well, if I wanted to play I have my own bundle of fur and claws who is happy to indulge me.

Here you are. Just join the queue if you want to control the toys, the waiting time is also shown. Oh and there's a small live chat box to the side if you want to talk to other catlovers while you wait (or while the cats wait).

Extremely gross but fascinating personal account of dude recovering from flesh eating bacterial infection.

Lots of disgusting pictures.

Not safe for lunch.

Seriously, it's cool but don't click on it if you have a weak stomach.

He says as he posts on the lunch hour.

I'm curious, I am. But I just had a slice of pizza. Maybe later!

The amazing thing is that one of the bandages uses a vacuum system just like somebody building a boat and laying down fiberglass or carbon fiber and vacuuforming it. It sucks blood out of the surrounding tissue and towards the wound to aid healing.

Paper lilies and other crafts for the kids.

I used to love doing things like this.

Originally looking for a homemade bird feeder. I made one out of a flat plastic Heinz ketchup bottle. Took the labels off, inserted clear plastic spoons and it looks great.

Oh wow, glatt. That's pretty hard to look at. Can you imagine going through it? I couldn't. Neat though, what they do.

I liked Banana (the NOT a scottish fold but looks like one cat)

I had a hard time looking at it on the screen. Imagine if you were looking down at your own leg and saw that? I'd faint. I don't know how he was taking pictures of it.

No more skin biopsies for me, evah!

I did enjoy the irony that he had written about a biological weapon utilising this disease just a few months earlier, though.

That was gru-awesome Glatt!

I succeeded in interrupting the black cat from his dinner. But all he did was look up and over his shoulder at the toy. And then I think I gave the tabby a shock, as he was sniffing one of the toys when I activated it . He gave a little jump and then just walked away. This is such a cool idea, but Im wondering if they aren't getting a little blase with the whole thing

The need to adapt this to annoying prisoners: "Pay-per-Poke" would soon address those budget defecits...
