Trailer for Waiting for NESARA, documentary about religious conspiracy theory


NESARA

I hope I won’t regret this post, but let’s just see how this goes. So, what does September 11th, Jesus Christ flying a UFO, a Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise and George W. Bush have in common? Stumped? Well, NESARA of course! NESARA stands for National Economic Security and Reformation act, a bill allegedly passed during a secret session of the U.S. Congress and signed into law by Bill Clinton. The bill supposedly would reorganize the entire U.S. economy and government, through acts such as forgiveness of bank, credit and mortgage debt, abolishing the IRS by creating a flat, new items only sales tax, restores constitutional law and naturally, ends all forms of aggressive U.S. military activities world wide. An admirable bill, I must admit, if only it were true.

NESARA a hotly contested conspiracy theory, with several splinter groups preaching various degrees of madness, features one such group that has recently seen the release of it’s first documentary (though often billed as a comedy) titled “Waiting for NESARA”. Following an organized group of ex-Mormons awaiting the passage of NESARA around Salt Lake City, Utah, the group meets in the back of a Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise and believes that the passage of NESARA will bring about the removal of George W. Bush by exposing him as a reptilian alien and that Jesus Christ piloting a UFO will be installed as America’s new leader.

I’m now rendered speechless so hit the jump to witness the trailer for Waiting for NESARA…

What the Apollo astronauts really wanted to say when they landed on the moon


Da Moon

We’re back in outer space again this post, bringing you The Onion’s absolutely fucking brilliant parody of the Apollo moon landing, featuring extremely high production value and some great voice acting. Hear what the first astronauts on the moon really meant to say, all while dreaming out to a Brian Eno track.

Video of the North Korean Children’s Parade featuring 18,000 children or more


North Korea

Unreal, that’s all I can think of. The North Korean Children’s parade, featuring more than 18,000 children has to be seen to believed. 2000-3000 children are upfront, performing extremely intricate gymnastics routines, while 15,000 or more children stand behind a massive set of cue cards (no that’s not a giant screen!), switching them out perfectly in sync with the routine occurring in front of them. This is absolutely stunning and frightening all in one, I loathe thinking about what the consequences are for holding up the wrong cue card or falling during a somersault.

Watch the North Korean Children’s Parade after the jump..

World’s first chainsaw powered motorcycle


Chainsaw Cycle

Dolmar, a manufacturer of hardcore chainsaws, for those who want real power when destroying things, has created the first chainsaw powered motorcycle named the Dolemite. Using 24 PS-7900 chainsaws, which has the best power-to-weight ratio of any chainsaw in the world, the cycle can deliver 125 kW of power with 130 Nm of torque (ie. a hell of a lot). The fully assembled bike weighs a little over 300 kg, with a power-to-weight ration of 1.8 kg/PS.

Watch a little more about the Dolemite after the jump..

Reactable is hopefully the electronic music instument of the future


Reactable

Many have been asking, “where is the future?”, and although most of those are bi-spectacled nerds (who we wholeheartedly support), many others are starting to wonder where we went wrong. I mean, where are the flying cars, the stainless steel towers in the sky, the motorized walkways? Apple is starting to take us into the right direction for technophiles and now musicians have the University Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona to thank for the Reactable, a multi-user electronic music instrument built into a tabletop interface. Imagine if you will, a life-size Elektroplankton! Yeahhhhh. With it, users are able to create complex and dynamic sonic “topologies” (music compositions) by moving physical objects over the table, controlling virtual generators, filters and modulators in a graspable flow-controlled programming language.

Enough techno-bibble babble, take a look at the Reactable in action after the jump..

Battlestar Galactica opening credits, World of Warcraft style



Our nerdy little brothers (or whatever) over at Playthrough came upon a fun little machinima video that seems to be getting some exposure around the interweb. Since we’re huge Battlestar Galactica fans we couldn’t help but give it a look or three and post it up on our side of the pond. Battlestar Galactica returns Sunday, January 21 at it’s new time of 10pm EST, though, we’re not so hot on the new day and time, a similar time switch occurred for X-Files, so let’s hope that slot is as beneficial to Battlestar as it was for those Xers.

Watch the video after the jump..

Burning Elmo gives me nightmares for rest of my life

Thanks to the rise in popularity of video sharing sites such as YouTube, more and more completely strange and useless videos are appearing on a daily basis. Thankfully so, because then we wouldn’t have anything else to post about, ya know? This is a particularly bone-chilling video created by a few people who apparently are a little upset over Elmo TMX’s overshadowing the PS3 and Wii launch. Switching on a talking Elmo TMX, they proceed to light him on fire as he creepily laughs while proclaiming “that tickles”, at which point the flaming Elmo jumps onto the cameraman and proceeds devouring the pitiful human piece by piece. Ok, I might have made some of that up.

ROME returns to HBO January 14th


ROME

Finally, one of our most-anticipated returns to television is coming, January 14th. ROME is returning after a looooong break, taking us back head first into one of the greatest ancient Roman remakes ever to grace television. HBO will do wise to start cutting some production costs and keep this show going.

As one tragic chapter ends, a new, more ruthless one begins. In the wake of Caesar’s murder, allegiances are tested, fortunes are gained and lost, and families and political factions find themselves in an elaborate power struggle. Don’t miss the second season of ‘Rome,’ the epic series that chronicles the events surrounding the fall of a Republic and the birth of an empire. The second season of the Emmy® award-winning drama series premieres January 14th on HBO.

Watch a special season 2 behind the scenes after the jump..

Downward view from an STS-115 Atlantis booster rocket

One of many recent videos from the space shuttle Atlantis, this video is a 4 minute long visual wonderland as the booster rockets of the shuttle fall back to earth mid-launch. A good soundtrack is recommended, like Brian Eno or something similar.
