Those who stuck it out for the full 12 minutes of the previous video, were rewarded.

 

This one is purely for thought:

Thanks ingot

 

Sometimes I don't watch these things because I think that I don't have the time to sit down for 10 or 20 minutes to watch them through. But often they give a perspective on life and what we're doing. Whenever I do go exploring these videos, I tend to find that I am glad that I have.

 

Thanks again for starting the thread and for taking the time to post them.

 

Cheers,

If you have 15 minutes today to enrich your life ... this is probably a good place to use that 15 minutes.

 

As it goes further, it gets better, but the finale is amazing.

 

Enjoy ...

This won't enrich your life, but it looks like fun. I stumbled across this while looking for something else... such is the joy of the internet.

 

This a shotgun for killing bugs... uses normal table salt. I tried to capture the video from their web site, but couldn't do it. There are videos on youtube also. Key search string: "bug-a-salt"

A nice antidote to the doom-and-gloomers.

 

Thank you.

Another reason to enjoy the Internet and modern technology.

 

Thanks for that gem.

What do we create merely for the pleasure of watching it get destroyed?

 

 

... and afterwards ...

[Ingot54 13]

From the fun ... to the important and the serious.

 

In my quest to leave this world in a far better state than I found it (but not going anywhere soon )

I invite you to first of all view the trailer of this movie.

 

If you already know what this is about, but have not had an opportunity to view the full movie, please set aside

an easy 2 hours, and watch ... listen ...hear ... and resolve to act in whatever way you can.

 

I do not regret giving up 2 hours to hear probably the most important message to meet my ears in 60+ years!

the veil on what's REALLY going on in our world by following the money upstream -- uncovering the global

This lobbed into my Gmail box from Google:

 

Yonatan Zunger - who works at Google said :

 

"I have no idea why I find this clip so amusing, but I do.

Some students figured out how to have a staged rendition

of silent monks singing the Halleluia chorus from

Handel's Messiah. I particularly like the short one

on the far right."

 

It took me awhile, but I finally cracked and had to laugh at the antics!

 

Note the two hidden "monks" at positions #1 and #3 on the left

There's always something new to pursue ...

 

What are the applications possible here?

 

[Ingot54 13]

More bait for the masses ... or ... what the heck is going on here ... ?

Just spent an amazing 12 minutes looking at "The Holtermann Collection" on the Australian ABC website.

 

It is extraordinary - not only for its revelation of early Australiana - historical documentation of life in the Australian Goldfields from 1862 to 1872+ ... it is extraordinary in that it has only now come to light after so many years in a back yard shed!

 

The Holtermann Collection consists of hundreds of glass photographic negatives that do not pixelate on magnification (ie a "zoom-in" view). Further, these glass negatives are virtually indestructible ... they will last for a very long time into the future.

 

Treat yourself to a journey back in time ... about 150 years back ... at the birth of a nation.

Enjoy!
