Mythbusters live: Mona Lisa in .008 seconds

Painting Mona Lisa In .008 Seconds - Watch more free videos
These video clips look like they’re from a live Mythbusters performance. The clip shows two machines they’ve built to paint using paintballs. The first one is a bit of a joke - it definitely doesn’t come close to producing the Mona Lisa. The second machine - “GPU” - has massive compressed air tanks, more than a mile of hose and 1100 fixed barrels each loaded with a single colored paintball. La Jaconde has been painstaking reproduced by scores of artists over the years. The Mythbusters use their incredible machine to reproduce the Smiling Lady in .008 seconds. [Break.com]

The Great Gorilla Run

(YouTube link)
The Great Gorilla Run will take place on September 27th in London. Every year, people dressed in gorilla suits run through the city, raising money to help protect the Mountain Gorilla.
The word on the street is that running in a gorilla suit is very cool. But that’s not true - it’s actually very, very warm, but there’s nothing quite like being a part of our furry pack of runners.

The Wrong Door

(YouTube link)
The Wrong Door is a new sketch show set in a parallel universe where the special effects you see in the movies and on TV are part of everyday life. Coming soon to BBC Three.

I’m glad they are making some of the sketches available on YouTube for those of us who cannot get BBC. -via Everlasting Blort
