  Dino Chicken

  (Science)
  [ 1:48 - from CBS ]

  Genetically engineered dinosaurs in modern times?? Before you cue the John Williams music, you should watch this excerpt from "60 Minutes" where paleontologist Jack Horner speculates on the possibility of a dino-chicken hybrid. Admit it, if you were 11 years old in 1993, this would be the coolest thing ever. view

  Into the Heart of Italy: Day One: Lucca

  (Food / Cooking, Reality, Travel)
  [ 6:53 - from Yahoo Video ]

  One part 'Where Do I Come From,' one part 'Amazing Race,' one part 'The Restaurant,' this Bertolli branded series recruits Italian-Americans Marisa Tomei, Rocco DiSpirto and Dan Coretese to travel to the old country and uncover culinary and cultural mysteries. The producers even manage to cook up a little June-November romantic intrigue...if you can digest it.  Hey, they are actors, not reality show contestants -- and the series was promoted during the Oscars and 'Desperate Housewives.'  A bellweather of big budget celebrity web adventures to come. view

  Ping Pong Penguin

  (Sports)
  [ 0:36 - from YouTube ]

  Wow, I really, really hope this is real.  About time penguins' wings evolved into being used for something cool, like ping pong.  I mean, it would be a lot of work to fake it, but listen to the sounds, the ball bounces... I don't know.  Penguins dance and play ping pong is what I choose to believe. view

  Typolution

  (Eco / Green)
  [ 3:11 - from YouTube ]

  Normally stories are told from "A" to "Z", but this one goes from "C" to "?" - literally. This animation uses only typography in a simple but totally effective way; you won't get bored at all and the catchy tune is an added bonus. This is a great example of another way to create info-graphic videos. view

  AWESOME: Chinese Man Throws Bicycle at Thieves

  (Reality)
  [ 0:49 - from Live Leak ]

  Right before this video starts, two thieves on a motor bike have just stolen a purse from a woman, and are speeding away.  Enter Bike Guy.  He sees this.  Stops.  Waits calmly.  And when the thieves speed by him, he flings his bicycle right into their purse-nabbing helmets, knocking them off their scooter into a beauty of a wipe out.  Bike Guy briefly distracts the dazed muggers, then runs, as other witnesses start to crowd around and fill the street.  The action has been lovingly looped with a fairly obvious music choice.  view
