Cockroach Reanimation at 2k views

My most popular YouTube vid, by far, is Cockroach Reanimation with Electro-stimulation, which just passed over 200,000 views. The viewing demographic is overwhelmingly 13-17 year old boys who like to point out that the cockroach “isn’t actually coming to life, it’s something about electrical impulses and nerves and something scientific-er than that, (insert insult of choice).”

I have mixed feelings about this vid – it’s brought out all the little Mr. Wizards and smartasses and even one scary guy who requested electrocution of bigger things – but in the end, it’s nice to have a kind of popular YouTube upload that I made with a $1 electronic device and a dead/reanimated (just kidding, kids!) insect:

White Pointers vs. Great Whites

Pretty much everybody interested in sharks has seen this photo by now:

Here’s a video with interesting aerial photos of the sharks in this area (Cape Cod).

If you live in Cali, you probably know that just the day before, a Great White attacked a kayak in Santa Cruz.

What you might not know is that the following week, one of the most intense videos ever recorded of a shark was taken by a couple guys who, luckily, happened to have spear guns and a camera rolling in the open ocean:

And soon after, some poor surfer in Perth was bitten in half and eaten by a 16-foot monster.

Have they always craved human flesh so?

Or does outlawing killing them make us seem weak?

(because we all know that predators go after the weak….)
