Turtle Power: Group Of Turtles Help Overturn Upside-Down Turtle In Pond

Because teamwork makes the dream work (or so I’ve heard — all my team projects in school usually failed and I got accusatory peer-evaluations), this is a short video of a group of turtles coming to the rescue of another that’s found itself floundering upside-down in a pond. Did Michelangelo get too high and attempt an ill-fated barrel roll? Probably. He also probably got an earful from Donatello afterwards. *hugs falcon, chugs ooze* That Donny, such a buzzkill.

Thanks to Allyson, who agrees this video is proof that turtles are more considerate than 80% of people.

School In China Smashes Phones In Front Of Kids To Warn Against Use On Campus

School In China Smashes Phones In Front Of Kids To Warn Against Use On Campus

Because when in doubt, smack it with a hammer (that’s one of my mottos), this is a video of authorities at a school in China breaking smartphones to warn students not to use the devices on campus. Apparently students have to turn in their phones when they reach school grounds, and any phones found on students will be smashed with a hammer and drowned in a water bucket. Allegedly, both the students and their parents consented to these rules, and the phones smashed in the demonstration were defective. Of course it looks like the smashing is being done behind a small wall and students can’t even see them anyways, so I’m not sure why they needed to use real phones at all. Dude could have just pretended to play Wack-A-Mole for a few seconds, and the students would have gotten the picture. That picture being one on the cover of a brochure for a different school, just to be clear.

A Compilation Of People Being Terrified By Haunted Doll Prank

A Compilation Of People Being Terrified By Haunted Doll Prank

This is a delightful little compilation of people getting tricked by a haunted doll prank in which somebody manipulates a doll or stuffed animal with fishing line, much to the horror of their prankee. That lady who fell out of her chair and smashed a table and performed the sign of the cross — she knew this was the devil’s work. The devil just so happened to be her son. Also, pretty sure that last dude broke his MacBook, and I will be subtracting points for execution for the person who used white string instead of fishing line. Don’t be lazy, do it right.

‘Baby Got Back’ Reimagined As Simon & Garfunkel Song: Hello Big Butt, My Old Friend

'Baby Got Back' Reimagined As Simon & Garfunkel Song: Hello Big Butt, My Old Friend

From ruiner/occasional improver of songs There I Ruined It (previously), this is a video of Six Mix-A-Lot’s ‘Baby Got Back’ reimagined in the style of Simon & Garfunkel’s ‘The Sound Of Silence’ (with bonus Black Eyed Peas ‘My Humps’ at the end). Does it still deliver? Yes. UNLIKE MY FAVORITE PIZZA PLACE. WTF, Antonio — you know I don’t drive!

Wildlife Rehabilitator Wears Fox Mask While Nursing Baby Fox

Wildlife Rehabilitator Wears Fox Mask While Nursing Baby Fox

Seen here doing her best Fantastic Ms. Fox impression, this is a clip of Richmond Wildlife Center executive director Melissa Stanley nursing an orphaned baby fox while wearing a fox mask so that the animal feels safe and doesn’t imprint on humans. That way it can later be released back into the wild. Hey, whatever works. Per Melissa:

She is progressing well. It’s important to make sure that the orphans that are raised in captivity do not become imprinted upon or habituated to humans. To prevent that, we minimize human sounds, create visual barriers, reduce handling, reduce multiple transfers amongst different facilities, and wear masks for the species.

When I was young and raised by bears they did NOT wear human masks, which was probably for the best. Thankfully, I was still able to reintegrate into the human world once I wandered out of the forest. I did have to promise to only buy Charmin and use it to toilet paper Goldilocks’s house whenever I’m in the neighborhood though.

Pi Explained With Pizzas And A Pizza Crust

Pi Explained With Pizzas And A Pizza Crust

Happy Pi Day (3.14)! I’m going to have a berry cobbler for dessert tonight, which, while technically not pie, is my favorite and close enough, even if it is a rectangle. This is a video of some folks visually demonstrating pi using the pizza crust from one pizza and four other pizzas. As is deliciously shown in the video, pi is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter, meaning a circle’s circumference is always 3.14 times its diameter, or could stretch across the diameter of 3.14 equally sized circles. You learn something new every day! And, is often the case for me, something I had previously learned but long forgotten. Geometry — what was that, 10th grade? I went to the homecoming dance stag and left stag, but with a bloody nose for trying to cut-in on a girl I had a crush on. “You got punched?!” No, I just get nervous nose bleeds. I never even worked up the guts to cut.
