Nanotechnology Explained with Puppetry - Neatorama

[YouTube - Link]

Graduate students Patrick Bennett and Ryan Miyakawa at UC Berkeley made an entry for the "What is Nano" video competition, where people submit their explanations of what exactly nanotechnology means.

However, instead of a boring lecture with slides, they made an amazing Sesame Street-style musical, complete with homemade puppets! (The singer is Glory Liu)

One of my pet peves is when people use "Ordinary" as a rhyme with "Extrordianry"! It's the same word with 'extra' on the front, and thus not even a real rhyme! (and in commercials, at least, the announcer says it like it's an amazing and clever wordplay).

I'm revealing myself as a mom, because I recognize those puppets are from Ikea. Clever video, though.

beware nanotech......it will lead to a "nano inhalation hazard" whereas your body gets invaded by billions on nanobots hell bent on whatever their original task was when you inadvertently get exposed to them at a nanofactory. you heard it from ole Skidworth first....Nano Inhalation Hazard, the new asbestosis!

After being freed from the first elevator, wouldn't you take the stairs back down? Was the firefighter too stupid to think "Hey, maybe the elevators aren't working and maybe we should take the stairs to be safe?"

I am terrified of elevators. I was a night security guard at one building with a haunted elevator. The door would just open and close over and over in the middle of the night. Add to that the news story of the man who got decapitated by an elevator with his coworker trapped inside.

This is why I take the stairs.

Well, that and for the exercise.
