Eyewitness News - Blooper


Molly Anne Bish (August 2, 1983 – June 27, 2000) was a sixteen-year-old American girl from rural Worcester County, Massachusetts, who disappeared while working as a lifeguard in her hometown of Warren, Massachusetts. Her remains were found three years later in neighboring Hampden County after what became the largest search in the state's history.

Long before "Fake News" became a term, you had news reports on very serious subjects, and some idiot thought it was funny to mess it up.

So although the blooper itself might be funny, just consider what kind of person would do this in a serious story.

After watching the finale of Black Mirror's 4th series, I couldn't help but notice that Karl Pilkington thought of these insane ideas first.

Charlie Brooker must be a fan of the podcast.


Speed but just the speedometer


Speed edited down to just the shots of the fuel gauge and speedometer.

Remembering Colo, The world's first gorilla born in captivity 1956–2017


December 22 is a very special day. It was the day the first gorilla was born in a zoo in 1956. I have worked in the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium’s Congo Expedition region since 2001 and have celebrated many birthdays with Colo. It was always a very exciting day with much anticipation. Over the years, the party grew bigger and bigger with lots of colorful paper chains and presents—not a lot of presents, but enough to open and then toss aside if nothing of interest was inside. Some of her favorite items were tomatoes, heads of iceberg lettuce and clementines that she would carefully and gently stand on to squish open. And, of course, a coconut—always a coconut. Colo lived to pass the milestone of celebrating her 60th birthday, which also earned her the distinction of being the oldest gorilla in human care. While we continue to miss her, today we honor Colo and her legacy that lives on through her daughter, grandkids and great grandkids. – Mandi, Congo Expedition Keeper
