This week we have sites about animals from bugs to sharks - running and jumping (well, sort of), the destruction of the language (what's new there?), Harry Shearer (the voice of Mr Burns, Principal Skinner and other characters in The Simpsons), and an odd rendition of a classic film. Animal, Vegetable, Video? Want to see the world as an animal sees it? See this site's QuickTime videos. An enterprising lad straps tiny cameras on to the backs of animals from armadillos to tarantulas and then lets them run off. Very odd. www.aniv egvideo.com/AVV.html oddly enough Have you any idea what an 'unplanned operational ground contact terminal structural overstress event' is? It apparently leads to a 'total loss of airframe primary structural integrity'. Some of us would call this a crash. This site lists extremely odd expressions that attempt to hide meaning. Only for those interested in language used for obfuscation. www.pab-opto.de/pers/yuckspeak/intro.html Le Showman Actor Harry Shearer lends his voice to about 80 per cent of the characters seen on The Simpsons, the longest-running prime time animated series in United States television history. On another medium, Shearer has his own long-running radio programme called Le Show. His views are definitely liberal, so this site is not for committed conservatives. Most pieces are at least amusing, but certainly odd. Click on Cool Stuff and have a listen to Kato Kaelin telling the story of Peter and the Wolf. I did say odd, didn't I? www.harryshearer . com/leshow/ Shark Jumping Most of us would agree nearly every television series created went to a point where it lost the thread, the original idea, the thing that made it special. That moment is called 'jumping the shark'. This site discusses when or if that moment has come for just about every programme you can think of. This is highly recommended for hardcore couch potatoes. www.jumptheshark.com/ Aping the Twilight Zone If proof was needed that some people simply have far too much time on their hands, this is it. This site shows the work done by some poor slob who probably spent hours cutting and editing the film Planet of the Apes to make it appear as if it was an original episode of Rod Serling's famous Twilight Zone TV series. It is an extraordinary effort. The only question is, why? www.flapdoodle.org/tzone-pota/tzone_pota.mov
