Duh. And now, let’s let the real media circus begin…

Here is Diastema’s take on the whole balloon boy media fiasco. Of course, in this miniature world, the boy really was in the helium balloon and not hiding in some attic somewhere. [via]
Home video of Heene family releasing helium balloon

As I’ve already mentioned, this whole balloon boy story seems to be getting better and better by the moment. Here’s a video (presumably released by the family) showing the Heene family involved in releasing the homemade helium balloon which eventually led to a desperate search for 6-year-old Falcon Heene who was believed to be trapped inside the balloon in mid-air.
It turns out however that the boy was hiding in the attic and that it was possibly all for show. Hmm…
Inhaling sulfur hexafluoride will lower your voice temporarily

I had no idea that inhaling sulfar hexafluoride does the opposite effect of helium to your voice. Whereas helium makes your voice go higher, sulfur hexfluoride makes your voice go much deeper, making it sound like you’re speaking in a slow-motion video when you really aren’t. [via]
I’d love to see somebody inhale sulfur hexafluoride and say something really fast. And I wonder if this is how they get evil characters in movies to laugh the way they do.
Here’s one more video. Kinda neat!
Deal of the Day!
