Wonderful Water

Osaka, Japan. A "water printer", which creates images with water:



I couldn't watch this without smiling. If I were there in person, I would be right alongside those kids, ooh-ing and ah-ing!

I wonder how this might look in a darker setting, incorporating some lights?

Ooh! Ah!

"Empire Strikes Back" As Silent Film

Here we have a beautiful clip from "The Empire Strikes Back", remixed as a silent film, complete with tinkly piano score, missed frames, and title cards.

It certainly is amazing to see how much the feel of Fritz Lang's "Metropolis" comes through in this - his influence is still felt more than eighty years after that masterpiece...

Lordy, what's not to like? I'd love to see the whole original trilogy like this!

Here is "Anachronisme":

Giant Deep-Sea Diver Walks The Streets Of France

Here's a video of a HUGE marionette. It looks like he's about thirty feet tall. He's walking the streets of France, looking for his lost daughter, a twenty-foot tall little girl in a yellow raincoat. He ends up finding her and walking her home.

What's not to like?



I believe this festival happens in Jules Verne's home town, as a tribute to his work.

Finally - A Use For Those Damned ATHEISTS

You've committed your life to Jesus. You know you're saved. But when the Rapture comes what's to become of your loving pets who are left behind? Eternal Earth-Bound Pets takes that burden off your mind.

Well, gee whiz, when the Rapture comes, and Jesus takes all of you Good Christians up to Heaven, YOU HAVE TO LEAVE YOUR PETS BEHIND because doggies and kitties are just dumb animules that don't belong in the Kingdom of Heaven...why not have one of those poor slob left-behind atheists take care of your beloved recently-orphaned pets?

Every one of their pet caretakers has signed a contract stating that they are true atheists (thereby ensuring that they will be left on the earth after the Rapture), and that they are real pet lovers, who will continue to take care of your pets as one of their own.

What a great idea - and everybody wins (except for the atheists, who will burn in Hell even though they took care of the sweet animals...oh, well, THEIR CHOICE!).
