I thought this might be a good way to start the thread for this year.

Happy New Year Everybody

Ooooh, I really like that one and I was happy to see provision was made to softly return it to earth.

This is two years ago, 50 meters from where i live. The blue things in the first few seconds are the bottle banks. Where i pottered to today.

Today it was lovely and sunny. People were out and enjoying blue skies, but not a blizzard!! Where the girl is standing is a lovely little bar in the Summer!!!

What you dont get in the above is the wind chill factor - which at one point was -25. My eyes were crying and freezing on my face.

The brain burn, like when you eat an icecream, was horrendous!!

But in the Summer the temperature can get up to the high 30s so all is good in the end.

Nice trick Willie.

Nearly punched the screen.

This is top notch for me.

Oilinki, if you like dance try this.

I'm still trying to win you over to human movement Oilinki.

(Perhaps the years I spent working with dance companies have influenced my judgement)

I can certainly appreciate the above clip having been very involved with "son et luminaire", but give a good body anytime.

Here you go Oilinki, colour & movement but no bodies.

Jeepers creepers!

They could easily cast those two in any Japanese horror movie....as the possessed by demons victims, or as the demons themselves.

The one on the right has the really googly eyes!!!

But a couple of years ago there were two Korean young ladies that blasted out doing a similar thing. I can't remember their video names.

Kinda my sentiment right now.

it's been an exhausting uncomfortable couple'a months. Not quite in the right frame of mind for |leaving on a jet plane..|

Near death airplane collision with skydiver in free fall

It happened in Thailand, according to this news report:

http://abcnews.go.com/International/amazing-video-shows-plane-narrowly-missing-skydivers-mid/story?id=28826962

That was the plane they jumped out of!

What happened to it?

A Thai pilot would do that..ngahhh... takes precision to make it a thrill.

Amazing robotics, but creepy!

I wonder what the square-cube rule limit on size will be. Just imagine an elephant sized robot trotting at you....literally awesome.

...and continuing with the snow theme, here is what appears to be a mildly happy penguin.

So there you are, off for a wee tootle in the rainforests of Uganda in the hope of sighting a gorilla - and then this happens.

Now, for all you cynics out there - there is a longer version. I believe it.

Oh, and after finding my Youtube account of a few years ago and some songs that i kept.

I found the Koreans!!!
