Title says it all (I just wish there was a bit more information — ie: what type of bird, where this was filmed, how they estimated that number, etc.).
Thanks Elin!
A wave of bunnies turns into a beautiful bookend
November 16, 2009 @ 6:30 pm
Kozyndan’s “Uprisings” painting (look closely, it’s not a wave, it’s a bunch of bunnies!!!) has been turned into a lovely bookend made by sculptor Julie B. [via]
The idea to turn the artwork into an actual bookend came from Munky King toymakers and will be released in an edition of 10. So obviously, supplies are limited which is a shame because this is something that I think would sell like mad.
Woman attacked by chimp reveals her deformed face
November 16, 2009 @ 6:10 pm
Charla Nash, the woman who was viscously attacked by a former friend’s pet chimpanzee on February 16, 2009, went on the Oprah show last week and revealed her deformed face to viewers. The result of the attack left Charla blind in both eyes and highly disfigured. Charla now has to wear a veil over her face in order not to frighten people.
At the moment, Charla’s family is suing Sandra Herold (the owner of the chimp) for $50 million in damages (presumably to cover some of the hospital costs).
But damn, I feel so terrible for this woman. If you’ve got a weak stomach, I don’t recommend watching the video above.

On November 11th in La Marque, Texas, Gilbert Harrison accidentally drove his Bugatti Veyron into a marsh after saying that he was distracted by a low flying bird and a dropped cell phone. The Bugatti Veyron is known to be one of the most expensive cars available on the market. Surely driving one into a marsh/lake is not a good thing.
A nearby driver caught the entire incident on film and you can see the Veyron plunging into the water in the video below.
And of course, here’s the salvaging effort.

Remember that video of the cat sneaking up on somebody without actually moving? Well, here’s another video of that same cat doing another sneak attack on a feather. Look at how motionless that cat can stay! [via]
