Be a Wimp, check out these great vids
Over the last few months, I occasionally point my webtube browsing device to a site called wimp. I don't know who manages the site, but they have a real knack for finding interesting, provocative and funny videos of every genre. Here is a short list for my followers to check out.
This is one cool vid. Imagine being able to control something with the power of your mind. Perhaps this is just the direction our species needs to go to make the next giant step in evolution. Are your ready for the coming technological singularity?

A kitten, a kitten toy, kitten being cute with toy.
I forget how many factoids this vid has, but they were pretty neat.
This one is about how earthlings all over the world are racing to learn English. One of the amazing facts in this vid is that there are more english speakers in China than there are Americans. So I guess that means the oxford english dictionary might some day be called the Beijing English Dictionary?

Remember MC Hammer's "You can't touch this"? Well some people decided to organise a hammer time on a clothing store... pretty funny.
Where is the center of the Universe?

What happens to butter when you aim your laser at it? Cutting butter with a laser. Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase, "like a hot knife thru butter"

I've been following the progress at the National Ignition Facility. Its a project by the Depart of Energy to bring us the clean abundant energy of the sun right here on good ole planet earth. Yep, another multi-billion dollar hot fusion experiment. I don't have much faith in hot fusion. I think cold fusion on a table top has a better chance of saving the race of man.
I'm finding it hard to believe that these folks think we evolved apes are the descendants of a winged dinosaur. If it turns out to be true, I'm gonna be so pissed, I want those wings back so I can fly.

Most talented people on Earth. Not sure what to say about this one. A mashup of the wild and wonderful things people can do all over the world.

Anyone that has known me for a while knows that I'm totally fascinated by the US Airforce's SR-71 Blackbird. Every chance I get when I'm in southern Illinois I stop by the Chanute Air Museum in Rantoul. They were supposed to get one of the SR-71's when the were decommissioned. Unfortunately, this has not happened... yet. So join me in awe at the World's fastest production aircraft.

Fifty people answer one question. I'll bet you think I'm gonna tell you the question. Wrong. Find our for yourself what they were asked. (after the vid loads, it will start to download. hit the pause button on the player to let it download about half the vid before you play it otherwise it skips)

Ya know those Brits have a weird sense of humor. Of course who can ever forget Monty Pythons. They also do strange things with music. Have a go at this, Ever seen pianos do this?

Never knew this about ants. Neither did you I'm sure, what this guy learned about ants changed the way we look at life on this planet. Enjoy "Lord of the Ants".
Deep Sea Giant Clams. Now if they could just grow Oysters this big. Imagine eating oysters on the half shelf this huge... or oyster stew! Martha Stewart would be the first to sell bigger bowls I'm sure. OK, I'll clam up so you can watch the darn thing already.
