BBC America | Odd News
by: Stuart

This is the first time I have seen this segment but I will try and catch it from here on out.

I personally love the choreographed digger dance.

I would watch that for free and still feel like I wasted time.

Top Gear | Peel P50
by: Stuart

We have posted about Micro Cars before but this is the first video we have done of the Peel P50.

I grabbed the clip from Top Gear, one of my favorite shows on .

The show is entertaining and I personally love the speed test for celebs. Got a Ron Wood from the Rolling Stones that will be posted later.

This clip is of the Peel P50 that was produced in the early 60’s: (the rest is from Wikipedia) The Peel P50 was a three-wheeled microcar manufactured in 1963 and 1964 by the Manx Peel Engineering Company. It retailed for £199 when new and currently holds the record for the smallest-ever automobile to go into production. It was designed as a city car and was advertised as capable of seating “one adult and a shopping bag.” The vehicle’s only door was on its left side, and equipment included a single windscreen wiper, and only one headlight. Standard colours were Daytona White, Dragon Red, and Capri Blue. The prototype for this model was referred to as the Peel P55 Saloon Scooter having one front wheel and 2 rear wheels - the opposite way round from the production Peel P50.

Mythbusters | Fainting Goats
by: Stuart

Mythbusters is one of my favorite shows, on one of my favorite channels, The Discovery Channel.

I must say that is catching up as the first channel I check before going to any other. They even say BBC America “is the fastest growing network in America”, not sure how true that is.

So, this post is about something my family has loved since the first time we saw them, fainting goats.

In Mythbuster style they try to make these cute little fainters get stiff legged by trying all kinds of tactics including Kari Byron flashing them which just makes Tory Belleci go all stiff. Cracks me up every time.

This is a perfect animal for you hunters out there, scare it then you have 10 seconds to kill it. I have no idea why that thought popped into my head but maybe they can make fainting deer.

BBC America | New Democracy Digitized
by: Stuart

This is a really interesting video from . They are focused on the Barack Obama web movement.

The year that the Internet changed American politics is a big statement but I think it is valid.

It’s a long clip but worth watching.

DHADM posted a quick story about the Obama VP pick here, Barack Obama Will Tell His VP Pick By Text and Email
