Nine year old sings Tom Lehrer’s elements song perfectly

elektra369369 — Wed, 06 Jun 2012 16:14:52 +0000

Grey learned the Elements song by listening to it for a few weeks and practicing it incessantly. He had already memorized the entire periodic table of elements, including the atomic numbers, spellings and information on all the elements prior. Once he found out that a song existed, he was eager to learn it and be able to sing it quicker than the original.

Animal congregations

jlksdaf90uasdf — Wed, 06 Jun 2012 16:00:18 +0000

Everyone is familiar with animal group names like a ‘pack of dogs’ or a ‘herd of cattle’. Some others are a little stranger but still well known; think of a ‘murder of crows’ or a ‘pride of lions’. After coming across an ‘unkindness of crows’ and got to wondering: just how pervasive such name are?

Extensively so, and a gentleman by the name of Dave Fellows have put together a wonderful list. Here is a small sampling of the highlights:

a prickle of porcupines
a bloat of hippos
a shrewdness of apes

Live webcasted wedding, complete with beef cakes

thatian — Wed, 06 Jun 2012 16:00:05 +0000

My wife and I spent a year planning a wedding from scratch. We had over 36 friends help put it on, complete with a live webcast, a pre-made video introducing the actors, live voice over and shirtless hot men in bow ties to escort the bridesmaids and bride. The reason it’s called part 2 is originally we were going to get married on leap day, but 3 days before the bride was in ICU with sepsis.

Museum of Endangered Sounds

Preserve the sounds made famous by old technologies and electronics equipment. For instance, the textured rattle and hum of a VHS tape being sucked into the womb of a 1983 JVC HR-7100 VCR. As you probably know, it’s a wonderfully complex sound, subtle yet unfiltered.

Women Empowerment

swapniljain — Mon, 04 Jun 2012 00:50:04 +0000

IMOW launched its latest online exhibition, “MAMA: Motherhood Around the Globe.” The rare and inspiring photographs, artwork, and stories in the exhibition depict women from all walks of life explaining how their role as a mother has affected them. While the importance of mothers figure remains the same throughout history and cultures, the experiences of mothers from one generation to the next has shifted drastically as cultures and societies have evolved.
The exhibition aims to turn inspiration into action, helping fuel a worldwide movement of advocates for mothers’ human rights and advances in maternal health. To do so, it has launched an online pledge that any visitor to the exhibition can sign in less than a minute. The pledge will be presented to the UN General Assembly in September 2012 to urge world leaders to make progress on the Millennium Development Goal of improved maternal health.
