WTF!?! David Attenborough, are you seeing this? When did wolves stop becoming the most timid things in the animal kingdom and start hanging out in urban areas of London, while fireworks were lighting up the sky and scaring every other creature in the vicinity? Either they’re getting a lot braver or it’s a very clever [...]

If you thought the Northern Lights looked good from earth, then you need to get your lazy ass up into space.

Does anybody else find it cute how the spider covers itself with sand? No?

You might go down the local all-you-can-eat and start filling your face with greasy goodness, Nature has shoals of herring. We have greedy snorlaxes, Nature has humpbacks.

Dropping mad science, yo.

If you listen close enough you’ll hear the wind and it sounds like Carl Sagan, for he is the voice of the universe. And Werner Herzog is the sound of one hand clapping.

Deep in the rain forests of the Amazon it looks like the horror of Starship Troopers has finally come true, there is some kind of large smart bug spreading infection amongst the local population and it aint pretty! Scientist Dr Javier Holavez has discovered an entirely new genus that has a very distinctive insect bite [...]

Ah, the sage-like voice of Carl “Omniscient” Sagan. It’s like if the universe could speak in the English language, this is what it would sound like.

As long as it’s teaching the kids that Columbus was discovered by America and Buzz Lightyear was the first man on Mars, then the social networking site is a force for good.

Oh it’s nothing, just some Soviet scientists in the 1940s experimenting with severed heads and bringing dead animals back to life. What? You mean you’ve never done that with Fluffy your childhood bunny? Oh come on! Don’t be such a pussy. Who doesn’t want the severed head of their dead pet twitching back to unholy [...]

This guy put a colony of ants in his scanner, and he scanned the nest every week. The results are what you see before you. Some people have jobs, some people have families, this guy has an ant colony in his scanner. I know which I’d prefer. Now to get me a scanner…

Nature’s cool, yo. And to prove it here’s less than a second’s worth of lightning bolts over Rapid City, SD, shot at 9000 FPS. Like, whoah.

Now this is an impressive parrot, look at all those neat tricks he can do. But can he make me a sammich? Can you Mr Senegal Parrot? Huh? No? Well then you are no fucking good to me. Except maybe as a sandwich filling.

Someone’s got a lot of time on their hands. Here’s the birth of life on earth and its subsequent evolution, kind of; if life was a series of hand painted time-lapse pieces. Which it is metaphorically, I suppose. Anyway watch the vid, it’s pretty frikkin’ awesome.

I don’t want to panic anyone but, we’re doomed! When animals start using technology – like in this video – we know we’re in trouble. I’ll admit the redneck hunting down these technophile creatures is probably still marvelling at his opposable thumbs, but still. I wouldn’t want to go hunting anything that knows how to [...]

Well this is guaranteed to freak you the fuck out; new music video from director Eric Wareheim (from Tim and Eric), and he is one sick, sick puppy. Genital mutilation, decapitation, creepy fairytale woodland…it’s all here.
