Magical things can happen when you enthusiastically open your mouth on the internet. One of these magical things is learning how personal experience shapes people’s lives.

So, Fox News pundit Bill O’Reilly was apparently baffled about the science behind tides, using it as an ammo when talking to an atheist leader (whose expression is priceless) on his program. A more entertaining summary of the clip below (NSFW warning: Bill drops an F-bomb), but the full clip here if you are inclined . . . → Read More: Tides, How DO They $%!&in’ Work?!?

Apparently the google plus video embedder is broken, but you can watch it on their Google Plus page here. Video by Nori Sakamato on G+. Used with permission.

This is some of the awesomest footage I’ve seen in a while. Wait for the backflip near the end of the clip! This is in the Sea of Cortez and narrated by David Tennant. This clip is from the BBC YouTube channel. A new program that looks spectacular called EarthFlight, which start December 29th on . . . → Read More: A Pelican’s Eye View of Leaping Devil Rays

A little sentimental, but hey its Christmas time. The Tank Bangers donates proceeds of buying this song to the various groups shown at 5:40 in the video. While I do not support all those groups personally, I would like to add Oceana and The Coral Reef Alliance as conservation groups who have a high . . . → Read More: TGIF – Our Blue (The Tank Bangers)
