Bears Don't Hibernate, Squirrels Do

I don't like the advert, and I don't like the cover version (John Lewis, were you aware of Lily Allen's other comeback single?!). I do like this version from The Poke.

Thanks to Tim for sharing.

Internet Nostalgia : Modem Dial Up Audio

Ah the good old days of the dial up 56k internet, my favourite bit of the modem handshake was the double bounce, at around 13secs, before the white noise starts. Wonder what it all meant?

Microwave Cooking With Sad Music

"Hello Wildcats". Do you own a microwave? Do you still use it for something other than warming up baked beans? Really?!

If The Moon Orbited The Earth At The Same Distance As The ISS..

the world's Surfers would be in paradise, imagine the height of the daily tides, sadly missing from this film.

Car Park

Love everything about this. Remember the singing Christmas Hedgehogs? Same people, Birdbox Studios.

Oops

A cartoon cliche; find yourself stuck underwater on the bed of a lake, maybe chained to something? Simply pull out the plug and bingo, all the water disappears. Maybe it was something that influenced these engineers? What happens if we drill a little hole into the bed of a lake, above a massive salt mine? Hmmm..

Not to be confused with natural sinkholes, and nature's attempts to help Darwin Awards nominees; Would you stand here and carry on filming?

Or sit calmly in a boat when this is happening?

Nah, nor me.

The Solar System - Our Home In Space

Lovely minimalistic look at the solar system, not sure how accurate it is, but simple is best. Warning: It gets a bit grim after about 6mins, not wishing to ruin the ending, but everyone dies..
