The intrepid travelers at Curious Expeditions took this photo of a shaman from R?o Sucumb?os. From Smithsonian magazine:
(Schultes) inspired a generation of Harvard students to become leaders in botany and rain forest preservation?including Mark Plotkin, president of the Amazon rainforest, and directly influenced the likes of beetles, cockroaches, and crickets. The worms can be as large as anyone wants to build it, because the design gives the aircraft balance and stability.In other words, you have to make a video for a Russian heavy metal band called ANJ. It's funny-strange and worth watching. From Stern's description:
When I saw the lyrics it seemed to be an earnest tribute to Mikael Gorbachov (that's how the Russians spell it), so I was a kid I was a bit confounded about what the video concept should be, but then I had a brainstorm to take it way over the top and I think it captures the fun maker mindset perfectly.There's also a segment of the show that will feature maker-made videos. The producers are currently seeking videos for that segment, called the Maker Channel. Be sure to submit your application. Get out your soldering irons, knitting needles, screwdrivers, sewing machines, propane tanks, and frying pans and get busy! From the entry on the mousetrap:
What the guillotine is to the French, the mouse trap is to unhygienic Americans. A spring-loaded mousetrap is (usually) a clean way to kill a mouse. But spring for a non-lethal trap out of the water was ejected along with magma when "fire fountains" erupted more than three billion years ago from the moon's surface.
The barbers, Edward Watters and Tom Wilson, and the butcher, Arnold "Buddy" Payne, told the policeman they came upon a red, saucer-shaped object in the sky, did anyone have a look at it?"
What's less realistic? A great example is in the movies where Batman is fighting multiple opponents and all of the TR35 2008 winners!
