VIDEO: Shaun White’s double mctwist 1260 gold medal run

Shaun White successfully defended his gold medal in Vancouver last night, winning for the 2nd consecutive time. He unveiled the brand new trick he’s been creating in secret during his second run.

It’s name? The Double McTwist 1260.

Here’s a video of Shaun’s 1st and 2nd run…though I don’t know how long this video will stay up due to probable copyright issues.

UPDATE: Yep, it’s already been pulled down. Try googling it or searching for “double mctwist 1260″ on youtube.

Zebra Finches Rock Out With Electric Guitars

The Zebra Finches– not only would it make for a good band name, but the birds already have a musical reputation thanks to French artist/composer Celeste Boursier-Mougenot.

Boursier-Mougenot creates works by drawing sound out of in unexpected sources, redefining how we view everyday situations. His latest installation for the Barbican Centre in London puts a flock of zebra finches in an aviary that functions as a sort of high-tech playground, complete with electric guitars and other musical instruments.

You start to get the feeling the birds have an ear for music, especially when one zebra finch rocks out with a guitar solo, using a twig as a guitar pick.

WATCH:

Absolutely amazing. Maybe that goes to show that music isn’t just sound, but something much deeper that connects all living things. But then again, maybe not.

Did global warming cause the Snowpocalypse?

Good question. Many people think that the U.S. Snowpocalypse happening this year is proof that climate change is a myth. Could it be that global warming is actually causing the snowpocalypse.
