(video) Bee vs Spider


The other day I stepped outside for my morning coffee and cigarette and was distracted by a slight buzz along my fence.  When I looked closer I saw that a bee had caught it's feet in a spiders web.  I set my smoke down and ran inside to get my cell phone.  By the time I got back the spider had come to claim his catch.  I hit record on the video function and enjoyed the rest of my cigarette.
The music is from The Venture Bros: The Music of J.G. Thirlwell

(animation) How I Became Footicapped


This animation may seem a tad religious, but it's more autobiographical than anything.  When I was a kid the school thought I was showing signs of being dyslexic.  So they ran a bunch of test on me.  Nothing invasive, just looking at pictures and word problem type stuff.  When everything was all said and done, they told my mother "your son isn't dyslexic, he is left handed."  I looked up past the ceiling and thought to myself 'what a clever joke.'
Instead of animating that story I decided to go farther back, right to the source.  Here is How I Became Footicapped.
     
 

If anyone couldn't figure out what footicapped is just think
handicapped people have "problems" with their legs
therefore people "problems" with their arms are
footicapped

(animation) Danger Due To Holes

Along my route to work there is a section of construction.  All over the fence barrier are signs warning the public of various dangers; some as simple as "danger due to construction".  Out of them all  my favorite was "danger due to holes".  What if instead of warning you about holes in the ground they were telling you about holes of a different variety.
