The (almost) unbelievable story of 007 the crow – watch it yourself

February 10, 2014 by Andrew Leave a Comment

The phrase “bird brained” isn’t appropriate here. This crow, nicknamed 007, shows almost unbelievable problem solving skills as it solves 8 puzzles, in the right order, in the right way to access food. The bird had seen the individual elements before but this was the first time the pieces had been arranged like this. Watch […]

The hypnotic destruction of Coke by lava

January 23, 2014 by Andrew Leave a Comment

We’ve all seen “Will it blend?” destruction videos so let’s go one up and apply some super hot lava. This video is oddly hypnotic. You don’t have to worry about what happens to the shiny red Coca Cola can but you might be curious to see what happens when the lava reaches it. Filmed on […]

Food for Thought: Should we eat bugs?

January 4, 2014 by Andrew Leave a Comment

This animation by Emma Bryce makes the case that we should consider eating bugs. You’ll probably have to watch it before you’d even consider the idea. The animation was bone by Neighbor and if the narration sounds familiar it is because you’re hearing the voice of Addison Anderson who’s featured on TED-Ed before. In Pure […]

Fisheye lens time-lapse of Leonid and Zodiacal light

December 24, 2013 by Andrew Leave a Comment

When glaciers attack

December 22, 2013 by Andrew Leave a Comment

This video footage comes from Steve Leonard and Arctic expert Jason Roberts looking for Polar Bears. Trouble starts early on and the video as their little boat snags on something and the engine cuts out. The engine cuts out right underneath a sheer ice wall. It’s a dangerous place to stall. In Pure Spirit Would […]
