I watched this video 11 times and now I'm gonna go blog about it and touch my Mythbusters poster inappropriately.

Regardless of Adam's compulsion for accuracy, his slightly smaller bronze is still a beautiful item. Perhaps even more so than the originals.

It's a different venue, same speech. It's 18:00 onwards in the dodo video.

Ok, I found out why everyone is confused.

THE ORIGINAL of this was submitted by arvana 2 months 3 weeks ago
http://www.videosift.com/video/Adam-Savage-is-OBSESSED-with-dodo-birds-the-maltese-falcon?noredirect

Arvana then INCORRECTLY called
dupeof= http://www.videosift.com/video/Adam-Savage-Fascination-with-the-Dodo-Bird

Either that, or Zifnab video went dead and he pulled a bait-and-switch and put up a SIMILAR video.

So, yes folks, you are not crazy.. this is kind of a dupe.

Pretty interesting... but I don't envy that degree of obsession.

I think the reason this video is popular is because there's a part in all of us that can relate (to varying degrees) to how obsession works in our heads.

That guy... should probably be on some kind of medication. Then again if he was, he'd probably have turned out a lot less successful then he is.

Its nice to be reminded every once in a while that they really are originally artsy-farts.

Wonderful talk. I'm adding it to the TEDtalk playlist, as it is presented by one of their partners, and released as such. If anyone wants to dupeof that video's votes over here, my dupe lives at http://www.videosift.com/video/Adam-Savage-My-quest-for-the-dodo-bird
