One of my favorite things EVER:

Chris Hadfield and Barenaked Ladies: I.S.S. (Is Somebody Singing)

from the page
The Barenaked Ladies, a children’s choir, and the commander of the International Space Station. Put them together and what do you get? The first space-to-earth musical collaboration.
The song, “I.S.S. (Is Somebody Singing) was commissioned by CBCMusic.ca and The Coalition for Music Education with the Canadian Space Agency to celebrate music education in schools across Canada.

Doomed

from the page
El Señor Studio has the honour to present the failures of the natural selection. A set of strange creatures whose instincts instead of focusing on survival seem doomed them to an absurd and comic extinction, in the presence of the astonished gaze of the narrator.

This is also the story of the relationship between these creatures and its Narrator. The character of the Narrator was a documentary star, but unfortunately for him, the good times are over and he is forced to accept this strange documentary, which he considered far below its potential.

    That baby tapir sure is cute. I’m glad the zoo staff was able to his life.

  2. I know! It’s a happy story! And here’s a totally short version of a rather long story: a friend and I saved my beloved boxer Oscar with CPR on his second birthday. He had asphyxiated and was lifeless. She administered the chest compressions. I administered mouth to mouth-and-snout. Five sets. I thought he was gone. And then he was alive! CPR. That shit works.
