Click-A-Flick
Click-a-Flicks are fun and easy…
Well, sometimes not so easy.
Just click on the video, and name the flick.
What you’ll see is NOT a scene from the movie…
It simply depicts the TITLE of the movie…

Sky Planter
The SKY PLANTER allows you for the first time to grow plants upside down inside your home or office.
Using a ground breaking internal reservoir system to feed water directly to the roots, means no water evaporates or drips. We also lock in the soil so there’s no mess.
With a SKY PLANTER you only water your plants once a month, leaving you time to relax on the beach knowing they’ll be thriving when you return. It’s also a great way to conserve water.
The SKY PLANTER is suspended from your ceiling, so it takes up zero floor space, making it a practical solution for smaller apartments, where space is limited.

Cemeteries in Parking Lots
While I was researching the “Cemetery Safari” chapter for my upcoming book Weird Oklahoma, I came across an unusual burial site west of Tulsa that was entirely enclosed within a strip-mall parking lot. Once sacred ground, it’s now a conspicuous patch of grass in a sea of asphalt, a quirky spectacle to the shoppers forced to drive around it on their way to Radio Shack.
The handful of graves had become an absurd sight gag that punctuated the often indiscriminate momentum of American progress. And it got me thinking: were there others like it? Surely this wasn’t the only time the deceased had stubbornly spoiled the aesthetics of a well-drafted parking lot. I mean, the good spots had already started going to the handicapped; it was only a matter of time before the dead horned in on the action, too.
And you know what? I was right. In fact, I found even more than I expected …

Nice Translator
It translates as you types with over 30 languages to choose from. I tested this on my bilingual sister by cut and pasting the translation below in an email with nothing else written, hoping she would be impressed and touched by this random act.
And her reply,
“Just a note to let you know that you love me very much”…. yes, I do love you very much..thank you for reminding me lol… i haven’t forgotten.

Alien-like Squid With “Elbows” Filmed at Drilling Site
A mile and a half (two and a half kilometers) underwater, a remote control submersible’s camera has captured an eerie surprise: an alien-like, long-armed, and—strangest of all—”elbowed” Magnapinna squid.
In a brief video from the dive recently obtained by National Geographic News, one of the rarely seen squid loiters above the seafloor in the Gulf of Mexico on November 11, 2007.
The clip—from a Shell oil company ROV (remotely operated vehicle)—arrived after a long, circuitous trip through oil-industry in-boxes and other email accounts.
I love the movement of the camera, it’s as if the person filming it does a double take.
