They Will Come To Town

This award winning global warming advertisement from Germany is obviously over the top but it's also quite beautiful as well (I recommend viewing it in full screen mode):

CSI: SeaWorld

Miami is definitely my least favorite CSI but I must admit that this is my absolute favorite Internet meme at the moment. You can already hear "Won't Get Fooled Again" in your head, can't you? And please spare me your tears for this woman. She spent every day jumping into a tank with a huge animal that has the word "killer" right in it's name. The odds say that it was only a matter of time. At least she died doing what she loved; how many of us will be that lucky?

Epic Beard Man is a close second. I can't believe it's only been a week since this went down.

The Porpoise Driven Life

It's the newest way for someone to make money by telling others what a god supposedly thinks:


I love the phrase "born without original fin".

Sardine Run

I've always thought that sardines came from little tins with a key attached to them but apparently I've been wrong:

This David Attenborough-narrated video from the Natures Great Events series is, in my view, one of the most spectacular nature segments I've ever seen. Off the coast of South Africa, a mass of sardines is attacked by a formidable array of predators. The surface view of the army of dolphins is impressive, but when the gannetts plunge like arrows into the ocean, then fly underwater, the scene is truly awe-inspiring.

I can't decide if I'd consider this more akin to a choreographed ballet or an aerial dogfight but either way it's incredible to watch:
