Encounter - Neatorama

(vimeo link)

Medieval knights meet a flying saucer, leading to an intergalactic misunderstanding. Joel Fletcher created this stop-motion animation on 16mm film in 1982, long before the computer effects we take for granted were available to everyone. -Thanks, Joel!

Naaah... if you are female, you HAVE to have a hyphenated (or at least, compound) surname these days to truly qualify as NPR material...

Katem Varzob

Sounds like an appetizer at an Armenian restaurant. Varzob is a small resort community in Tajikistan that shrinks in population during the winter months.
