Happy in Paraguay
I simply had to share this. Its a clip of Star Trek: TNG with, more or less, random words dubbed in that just happen to match up with people’s lips. I don’t know anything about Dayjob Orchestra’s music, but their spoof/parody videos are brilliant.
Check out their other similar videos here.

When Galaxies Collide
Felicia Day *swoon* (and Sean Astin) try to educate the public about colliding galaxies in this hilarious NASA PSA for the Spitzer Space Telescope.
There are a lot of great little inside jokes in there. “What in the name of Joss Whedon?” And Felicia makes a wonderful point:
It just goes to show you don’t have to make up explosions or doomsday scenarios to make science interesting. Astronomy is pretty interesting on its own.

We Are All Connected
Symphony of Science has done it again. This time with appearances by Carl Sagan, Richard Feynman, Neil deGrasse Tyson and Bill Nye.
Check out their previous video, grab MP3 and FLAC files of the songs as well as video downloads at their website.
Surrounded by ignorance
Just watch this… as the video progresses, try to NOT let your mouth hang open in disbelief.
Oh… My… God! Now, I know many people are genuinely ignorant of things that don’t really affect them in their day-to-day lives. But really, America? This level of ignorance is just absurd. Apparently there are people living among us who don’t know how many sides a triangle has and don’t see something wrong on a map where the entire country of Australia is labeled “Iran” or “North Korea”.We also seem to have had THREE world wars and Hiroshima and Nagasaki are only famous for sumo wrestling.
Wow.

Pipe Wrench Fight!
What if the lyrics to those catchy 80s songs actually told the story that was portrayed in their whacked-out artsy videos? You might get something like this…
Currently, they’ve redone Tears for Fears’ ‘Head Over Heels’ and Red Hot Chilli Pepper’s ‘Under The Bridge’ as well. Be sure to check out all of them.
Tip o’ the pipe wrench to the creators.

DO IT! Like, Nowsville.
I mean it. NOW! You’ve only got a few days left. So stop reading this and go register. I did. It only took me a couple seconds. You can spare a couple of seconds, right? For your future, I mean. Right?

Jon Stewart lets the Republicans eat their own words
I sometimes wonder if these people remember that the videos of their previous statements are still around.
UPDATE: I don’t know why Comedy Central makes videos embeddable if they’re just going to remove them later. As a result, I will not be ’sharing’ anymore Daily Show clips. Sorry.
