You're totally right. I am now concerned about how short my attention span is. Is it possible I stopped the video before the second explosion? Time to re-evaluate my life.

Also, the sound is simultaneous with the explosion. There would be a delay at that distance. Did they edit the sound somehow?

I think you scanned my cereal twice, ma'am.

Chernobyl is in Ukraine, not Russia, FYI.

That's Key and Peele!

That was really, really awesome. I fly internationally multiple times a year and had no idea what was going on in the cockpit while we were landing. Great video!

So distracted by the dust on the sensor. It's obvious in almost every shot.

They wouldn't have learned about the Epic of Gilgamesh during the Babylonian Exile! The exiles were WAY later than the book of Genesis was written. They would have learned about it in Egypt or before. As I understand it, the book of Genesis was written during the Israelites' flight through the wilderness (what the book of Exodus is about).

But yes, I agree there are flood myths pre-dating the Hebrew scriptures and I'm eager to see what the Christian community does with this movie.

Also, I agree with charliem. There is evidence of localized flooding that could have given rise to the many flood myths among Ancient Near Eastern peoples. One fascinating theory is that a major flood happened when the Bosporus Strait collapsed and the water levels of the Mediterranean and Black Seas equalized. It's in the book "Noah's Flood" - http://amzn.to/1ieH4GX

Damn, nature. You scary.

We probably evolved this trait to help us see the world steadily while running. New studies are suggesting we used to hunt our prey by "persistence hunting," or just jogging after an animal until it falls over from heat exhaustion (most animals can't cool down and move at the same time).

When you're moving steadily for a long period of time, your brain starts to "edit out" the movement, so you can see everything around you clearly. When you stop, your brain is still compensating, thus the effect.

My guess, at least.

Paid for by the Big Vegetable lobby, I'm sure.

Can't you hold your beer glass in one hand and text with the other?

This is amazing. But did the leopard at some point go back and eat the mother baboon? Because I can imagine that might be a bit traumatic for little Jr. there...
