Sherwin Nuland: Electroshock Therapy

Jeff Healey: While My Guitar Gently Weeps

The video and the hairstyles leave a lot to be desired, but…what can ya say?: It was the Eighties! No matter, this guy teases a pretty mean guitar…especially for someone who can’t see it. A fairly fierce performance of the Beatles classic.

If you like the Visualizations portion of your MP3 client, you’ll enjoy this real-life equivalent…which involves sound, propane and fire. Very nice!

Greg Gasson: Skydiver

I don’t really understand this guy’s mentality…where it seems that a simple sneeze might cost him his life. But…this is some pretty incrediblle footage.

Ninja Bees: Not Silent…Still Deadly

Fascinating short clip from a documentary (sounds like it’s possibly narrated by Ewan McGregor…) about the difference between how European bees and Japanese bees respond to hornet attacks on their nests (and the grubs who make up their next generation). The European bees completely fail…whereas the Japanese bees utilize a special defensive non-stinging response to [...]
