Abbey Lincoln Tribute Video | Great Jazz Singer Dies In New York At 80 Years Of Age

Posted: 15 Aug 2010 11:35 AM PDT

This video is a simple yet effective tribute to Abbey Lincoln, a jazz singer regarded as one of the greatest of all time.

Abbey Lincoln died at the age of 80, passing away in a nursing home in Manhattan, New York. Her career spanned more than 30 years, and included films and civil rights campaigning as well as the music she’s famous for.

Lincoln was born as Anna Marie Wooldridge in 1930, she adopted a stage name and started singing. She hit the big time in the 1950s and 1960s, recording several notable albums and also appearing in films with Sidney Poitier.

Abbey Lincoln will be long remembered for her achievements in several fields. So although it’s sad to hear of her passing, listen to her singing and remember her incredible talents.

Is There A ‘War On Brains?’ (Video) | Conservopedia Hates Einstein

Posted: 14 Aug 2010 09:26 PM PDT

I’m not usually a fan of Rachel Maddow or any other “news” pundit that likes to polarize democrats and conservatives, but this clip is filled with some pretty shocking beliefs.

Apparently, denying evolution and global warming isn’t enough. Now Conservopedia is even denying Einstein’s theories!

Now that Obama has put more money into the public schools, I’m really hoping that there won’t be anymore of these ridiculous unscientific ideas taught to more kids. Honestly, how do these people even win political positions?!

Perhaps the most shocking part of the video occurs 0:57 when Ron Paul denies the Theory of Evolution. And to think I was looking forward to voting for him in 2012!

Epic Pool Game Fail | With Friends Like This, Who Needs Enemies?

Posted: 14 Aug 2010 06:30 PM PDT

It seems like this video is documenting a group of guys having fun in the pool. But this is the internet, and it won’t be fun until someone gets hurt.

That someone is, not surprisingly, the genius who trusted his mates to throw him. I shouldn’t be too hard on him, but this was never going to end well.

It’s easy to dismiss this as a bit of pool fun gone bad, but is it? Perhaps these lads really had it out for the hapless guy, and simply seized the opportunity to dump him on his head? It looks like an accident, and that only makes it the perfect crime!

Scary Shark Face-Off Video | Surfer Gets Up Close & Personal With Great White Shark

Posted: 14 Aug 2010 01:11 PM PDT

There are certain animals none of us ever really wants to come face-to-face with. Lions and tigers scare the crap out of me, as do sharks and killer whales.

Which means this video has put me off ever going surfing.

I’m not great with water at the best of times. It’s the dark, the depths, the unknown quantity that freaks me out. Which means I don’t venture far from the beach on holiday and try to avoid taking to the water whenever possible.

And after seeing this video nothing has changed. In fact, it’s made me resolve to never enter the water of any stretch of coastline where there is a serious threat of being attacked by a killing machine such as a great white shark.

This guy doesn’t seem that bothered, however, and carries on filming despite being a long way from safety. Bravery or stupidity?
