Anyone in the Los Angeles area should visit the Hammer Museum after seeing this film. It has Dutch Masters many of which could have been made with this method. I will be there next weekend. Message if you want to meet up.

I just queued it on Netflix

And here I thought tupperware parties are marketing ploys for the purpose of selling tupperwares! It's most fascinating to find a club dedicated to swapping coffee creamer lids.

"Strangely enough, the Koala is one of the only animals known to have evolved a smaller brain in order to preserve energy in the species"

I knew it! Brains are overrated.

"Barkley Marathons?" What kind of wimpy name is that? If you want an exciting prison-themed athletic event, you can't beat the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon

Swim the frigid shark-infested waters of San Francisco Bay, with deadly currents that can sweep you halfway to Japan!

If you make landfall, you then have to assault a random bicycle courier and steal his bike for the second event: a bicycle race through the deadly gauntlet of The Financial District!

Finally, running at top speed up the sisyphean hills of San Francisco!

Only the best and toughest will survive! Only the survivors can win!
(OK, I think I exaggerate a bit on some of the details)

My wife would go all "Kirsten Bell and the sloth" if she got to pet a koala. Of course, she knows they aren't quite as cuddly as they look.

I knew a foot doctor for athletes who said that ballet dancers were tougher than any other athletes he'd worked with. They'd "play" with injuries that would leave other athletes on the sidelines.

I would like to hug each and every doggy in that video. And the people who help them.

They are best buddies and love one another.

This wildlife sanctuary is not far from me. They have all kinds of animals, from reptiles and primates, to apex predators like the three above. My kids love going there, it's cheaper and less crowded than the major zoo tourist trap in downtown.

Dear Santa,
This.

poor thing... lions belong in the wild not in a zoo

That guy is asking for trouble.
