Corn Surgery
Modern surgeons can do amazing things to repair a body, but they still have a couple of drawbacks. First, there aren't enough of them, and the skilled surgeons we have aren't distributed equally around the world. Second, they still have human-sized hands and gingers. Very tiny, precise surgical repairs are the province of specialized microsurgeons. And now, robots.
Sony introduces their new Microsurgery Assistance Robot. It can be controlled by a trained microsurgeon from a distance, but since it has a microscope for viewing and scaled-up controls, it can be used by surgeons who are not specialists in microsurgery. In this demonstration video, the robot uses various instruments to cut and then stitch up that cut on a single kernel of corn. We hope the ear is recovering nicely. (via Laughing Squid)

Blind Cat Plays Fetch
Rey was born eight months ago with no eyes. Alexander Speweik adopted Rey and her sister Leia, and Rey now gets around the apartment just fine. She even plays fetch!
Wadded up aluminum makes a great ball to roll around on a wood floor, and Rey follows it almost perfectly just by the sound. She also plays with boxes, climbs her cat tower, and wrestles with her sister. She doesn’t chase a laser light, but likes to play with the chain attached to the laser pen! You can follow Rey at her Facebook page or at Instagram. (via Digg)

Fredrik Backman is an acclaimed bestselling author. He is also the very embodiment of Swedish humor.

A Blue Fireball in the Sky
Saturday night, a fireball shot across the sky, visible in Spain and Portugal as a blue or green light to those on the ground, and we get to see it thanks to many people who had their phones out to record it. The European Space Agency (ESA) said the burning object was a piece of a comet that was traveling around 100, 000 miles an hour. During its most visible phase, the meteor was around 38 miles (60 kilometers) above the ground. It most likely burned out as it headed out over the Atlantic Ocean.
☄️😍 ESA’s fireball camera in Cáceres, Spain, spotted this stunning meteor last night!

Our Planetary Defence Office are currently analysing the size and trajectory of the object to assess the chance that any material made it to the surface.

A Satisfying Bike Outing
Trials cyclist Danny MacAskill reveals how he got so good at what he does by going out on a ride with his crazy friends in Scotland as they take on the Mast near Inverness. They aren't just following the death-defying trails; they also set up their own challenges along the way. The outing is funny, thrilling, ridiculous, and vertigo-inducing in places. These guys can admit being scared of a particular stunt, but then they go ahead and do it anyway. Adrenaline is addictive, after all. Bonus: no one has to be carried out and and sent to a hospital. Despite the American custom of adding captions to the dialogue, their Scottish-accented English is quite understandable. (via Kottke)
The Three Bears' New Home
Peak Wildlife Park in central England built a new expanded home for their polar bear family, Hope and her offspring Nanook and Noori. These bears were taken in last year when their previous zoo went out of business. The new enclosure has grass, trees, rocks, hills, a cave, and a deluxe swimming pond. As the grand opening neared, the keepers distributed treats in cones, fruit and vegetables, and lard all around the new environment for the bears to find. The snacks give them encouragement to explore and get used to their new home. From the bears' reactions, we can assume they like their new five-acre home very much. (via Nag on the Lake)

Wicked -the Movie
Gregory Maguire wrote the novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West in 1995. It became a hit stage musical in 2003. After many delays, the movie version is finally coming to a theater near you in the film Wicked. Cynthia Erivo plays Elphaba in her younger years, before she became the Wicked Witch of the West. Ariana Grande plays Galinda before she becomes the Good Witch of the North. These two very different young women meet when they are assigned as college roommates. The movie also features Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Yeoh, Bowen Yang, and Peter Dinklage. In case you haven't guessed yet, this is a prequel story for The Wizard of Oz. But it will only be half the story. Wicked opens November 27, and Wicked Part Two is expected to follow on November 26, 2025.
High School Graduations in the South
Like football, high school graduation is a big deal in the South. The schools are enormous, the moms are crying, and the dads are bored out of their minds. Matt Mitchell lays it all out for us, including the once in a lifetime (for each kid) dinner at Red Lobster. Mitchell recorded this video on Monday, a fact he pinned in the comments, because Red Lobster outlets across the country closed suddenly on Wednesday. He says, "Life comes at you fast, but Chapter 11 bankruptcy comes faster."
Although the video is about high school graduation, it hits home for me. I went to one of Auburn's graduation ceremonies last week (with 30,000 students, they have about a dozen commencements). I wore a suit, proper for spring in Kentucky, not realizing that Alabama is already at 90° in early May. All the other moms were in dresses and sandals. We went to Red Lobster, and had the whole place to ourselves. My kid had wanted to eat there for years, and got to eat two lobsters just days before it closed.

Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours
Stevie Wonder had so many hits that you can always find one you haven't heard in a while and then remember how great it is. "Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours" was released in 1970. The video is from VEVO, so the TV show in this video is not identified. The backup singers are Shirley Matthews, Gloria Jones, Vanetta Fields, Syreeta Wright, Billie Barnum, and Clydie King. That awesome bass line was from Bob Babbitt.
True Facts About Pigeons
Ze Frank manages to keep focused on scientific facts about pigeons. He tells us about how surprisingly smart pigeons are, considering their tiny bird brains. A pigeon's behavior is not all that sophisticated, but within their world, they have super powers that take advantage of opportunities that ensure their survival. At least the pigeons we have today outlasted the passenger pigeon. This video has a one-minute skippable ad at 3:48.
Parents at Graduation
Charlie Berens re-enacts a ritual that happens every May, when students graduate from college. Mom wants to wallow in the pride of the moment, because the child she put so much effort into is taking the next big step in life. In this day and age, that means taking an obscene number of photographs. Dad is avoiding any sentimental emotions by handing out advice and judgement, as is his habit. Berens plays both parts, not bothering to shave when switching parts.

The Heart Attack Grill
All new restaurants want a gimmick to get noticed while they build a clientele. One of the strangest gimmicks was the Heart Attack Grill, which debuted in 2005 and got all the publicity they could possibly ask for, even more when they expanded into Las Vegas in 2011. The decor and service had a theme alright, which seemed kind of cute. Diners wear hospital gowns and are treated as "patients." Morbidly obese people can eat free. But the oversized, fat-laden meals were no joke. Neither were the actual medical incidents connected with the restaurant. Founder Jon Basso embraced the controversy, and has seen his share of legal troubles. But the Heart Attack Grill is still going strong. Its customers? Maybe not so much.
Go, Dog, Go!
When you first look at Nimble, you instantly recognize a border collie, but she's so tiny! She is a mixed breed dog. The Westminster Kennel Club calls them "All American dogs," which sounds better than calling them mutts. In the 11 years since the Westminster Kennel Club has been staging their Masters Agility Championship, no mixed-breed has ever won the top prize -until Nimble became a star last weekend during the competition in New York. She blazed through the course in 28.76 seconds with no errors! Besides being the first mixed-breed champion, she is also the first dog from the 12-inch division to win the overall competition. She beat 350 other dogs to win the title.
Nimble is border collie-papillon mix, and she has obviously inherited the best features of the two breeds, the intelligence of the border collie plus the speed of the papillon. Of course, papillons can be intelligent and border collies can be fast, too. Besides, she's as cute as can be. Nimble's handler Cynthia Hornor assured everyone that the little dog got steak and playtime after her win. (via Laughing Squid)
A Look Back at The Phantom Menace
Now just wait a minute here. Why is Screen Junkies making an Honest Trailer for a movie that came out, uh, 25 years ago? Oh, I see. Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace opened on May 16, 1999, which means today is its silver anniversary. That's why you've been seeing references to The Phantom Menace everywhere, and it may even be playing at a theater near you.
This movie heralded the second phase of Star Wars, now called "the prequels." Fans who saw the original Star Wars movie in 1977 as children had been waiting 16 years for another glimpse at a galaxy far, far away and had their hopes sky high for The Phantom Menace, but then were disappointed. At the same time, children who were introduced to that world in 1999 loved it. Twenty-five years later, those children run the world, and they have fond memories of The Phantom Menace. Do you realize the implications of this conundrum? In another 25 years, Star Wars fans across the internet will be lauding the nostalgic feel of The Rise of Skywalker. But for now, let's wallow in the memories of the annoying child prodigy Anakin Skywalker, endless discussion of trade agreements, midi-chlorians, and Jar Jar Binks.

A Very Large Cat
Axel is a real chonker. An absolute unit. He was surrendered to a shelter at 43 pounds! For context, I have three cats that weigh around eight pounds each, and the big orange cat weighs 13 pounds. Axel was definitely overfed at his previous home. The rescue organization Ferdinand and Friends placed him with their director Christina for fostering, and she was worried about all that extra weigh the cat carried. He had trouble hauling himself around, and he suffered from arthritis due to the extra stress on his bones. But Axel is well on his way to a healthy weight. You can follow his weight loss journey at Instagram and TikTok, where he goes by his stage name Biggie Smalls.
Singers Falling Down Stairs
Someone call a carpenter, because there is obviously something wrong with the stairs leading off the stage! When someone falls down the stairs in real life, there is banging and screaming, often resulting in injuries, and there's nothing funny about it. When singers with distinctive and iconic voices fall down the stairs, everyone knows who they are. Master mixer Dustin Ballard, better known as There I Ruined It, shows us what that might sound like. He assures us that no singers were hurt in the making of this nonsense. Each fall is mercifully short, but still paints a picture in our minds. You almost feel sorry for the singer, fictional as this scenario is.

On Pet Names
When a partner calls you by a pet name, they are either trying to be exclusive and intimate, or else they can't recall what your name is. You know which one it is. People use odd terms of endearment in all languages all over the world. The variety of pet names is huge, and the most common have to do with sweet foods. That makes sense, because it's what people like and crave. There are also pet names that imply smallness or cuteness, or even monetary value. People also have pet names that make no sense at all to outsiders because they are based on a shared experience from long ago.
Linguist Erica Brozovsky goes over the universality of pet names, the different kinds that have proved to be popular, and why we use them. The upshot is that my pet names for my loved ones is adorable and sweet, while your pet names for your loved ones are cringey. (via Laughing Squid)
Fighting with Pedro
The reason they call it fight choreography is because it's like a dance. And because it's like a dance, each cinematic fight has its own rhythm. However, enough of these fight scenes you remember from your favorite movies have the same rhythm, and here they are all fighting to the tune of "Pedro" by Raffaella Carrà (Jaxomy & Agatino Romero Remix). While this multifandom movie montage is pretty short, it contains multitudes. (via Geeks Are Sexy)
Dinner Party Revenge
It's a shame people don't throw dinner parties much anymore, but this may be the reason the custom has fallen by the wayside. This guy has a diabolical plan to cause minor annoyances for his host for years to come! Plot twist: he shouldn't have bothered going to the trouble, because these things all occur naturally. I haven't thrown any dinner parties for years and I am still vexed by mysterious objects that appear in the most obscure places. But if it makes him feel better about putting up with his nemesis at work, then more power to him. It's another nonsensical yet amusing anecdote from Chris Hallbeck. In the comments, we got a bonus real-life story about long-term revenge that you can read at Laughosaurus.

Right-to-Die Legal Cases That Raised More Questions Than Answers
Does a person have the right to end their own life when it is full of pain and incurable suffering? How about someone else's life? Modern medical miracles sometimes come with a horrific cost. We may be able to save lives that were once doomed, but if it leaves the patient with severe brain damage, in a coma, or in a vegetative state, what have we gained? We've gained some deep ethical and philosophical questions, like what is the minimum standard of a life worth living? In the case of Terri Schiavo, which you may recall from the turn of the century, a 26-year-old woman was left severely brain-damaged and in a vegetative state after a heart attack. Years later, her husband proposed removing her feeding tube, the only artificial life support technology Schiavo required. Her parents objected on the grounds that you don't stop feeding someone because they are disabled. The case dragged on for years, and eventually led to reviews of the laws around life support and death with dignity.
The ethical questions remain, though. You may believe it is okay to refuse life support or life-saving interventions, but not active euthanasia. But what if the patient is unable to express their wishes? What if the patient with a terminal illness or profound disabilities or untreatable pain really wants to end their life but needs assistance to carry out that wish? As medical science continues to extend life beyond our ability to enjoy it, these questions will only get more difficult.
Strumpfhosentanz
I just recently found out that this video I first posted in 2013 became the biggest post in the history of this blog, with more than 218,000 views. I had no idea. Blogger has a stats page, but I never really explored it, and didn't know they kept up with such things for all these years. Those stats don't account for those several years I used Squarespace, but there's no trace of this blog left there now. Considering the average post these days gets about 100 views, that was pretty good.
Elizabethan Ruffs
We look back at fashions of the past and wonder what they were thinking. A little research and some common sense tell us that high heels were developed to hold one's feet in the stirrups while riding a horse, but became a permanent fashion for women because they made them flex their leg and butt muscles attractively. The codpiece started out for reasons of modesty, but became popular as a way of showing off. But what was up with the ruffled collars of the Elizabethan era? They only look natural on Bozo the Clown. They served no practical use, and they certainly weren't comfortable. Weird History goes over the real purpose of ruffs, plus how the fashion changed to become more elaborately ridiculous over time, spread across the world, and eventually died out -except for clowns.
