Well, someone has now recreated the entire video in what else but LEGOs! Check it out, it's pretty awesome.

The universe is huge and has countless planets possibly harboring life. So just why haven't we seen any evidence of life outside of our own planet. This video tries to explain that.

Epic Video: Why do venomous animals live in warm climates?

I'm thrilled I live in the Northwest, where the most dangerous animal is a cougar or bear which usually hides out in the woods, as opposed to the tropics where there are countless nasty things hanging around. I mean other than when we hike, we don't have to worry about baddies unless Sasquatch decides to stop by Starbucks (it does happen in Starbucks).

And, surprise  there's a reason venomous animals hang around warmer areas as opposed to the mild, Pacific Northwest...

Epic Video: In Russia, tank drive you!

A lot of Russians have dashboard cams in their car because apparently their police are corrupt and their insurance companies are shady. It's good for us in the ol' US, however, because now we get these crazy YouTube clips of what life is like in the former USSR. For example, a tank rolling across the highway...

 

Still a better experience than driving in Spokane...

Super Mario Beads Video

This is pretty much the coolest thing I have seen in a long time. Super Mario, beads and stop motion films.

Check out this video:



And don't forget to buy Super Mario for the new Wii U. 

Portlandia Season 3

While Seattle might have Grey's Anatomy, Portland has Portlandia. And it's one of the funniest shows on TV!

Having been to Portland many times myself, the show pretty much perfectly describes the Rose City. And how awesome it is.

When I first heard about this show a few years ago I knew it was something I had to check out. And then their "Dream of the 90s is Alive in Portland" video came out and I knew it was going to be awesome. Well after two seasons the laughs keep coming and with season three on the way I can't wait.

Here's one of my favorite Portlandia skits featuring the Portland Timbers and perhaps the greatest soccer cheer of all time. Check it out:




Tune in to "Winter in Portlandia" on Friday, Dec. 14. The new season starts Friday, Jan. 4 on IFC.

While you wait for Portlandia season three be sure to check out Portlandia: Season 1 and Portlandia: Season 2 on DVD and don't forget about Portlandia: A Guide for Visitors.

Everyone has them. The friends that are super hyper and always active. You also have those other friends that you're not really sure why you're friends with anyway. And those are just your pets! Well, what if your human friends acted like your pets? Check out this video. It's pretty funny!



That reminds me, I need to buy some more Pet Supplies for my animals!
