The Evolution of Venom - Who is The Most Poisonous?
Posted by info on 16:00
An amazing Documentary on the Evolution of Venom. Who has the most poisonous Venom of all? Spiders, Snakes, Scorpions or someone else?
Snake Island (Full Length Documentary)
Posted by info on 15:58
The highest concentration of one of the most venomous snakes in the world is located about 90 miles off the coast of Santos, Brazil, on a small, craggy chunk of otherwise uninhabitable land. It's known as Ilha da Queimada Grande, or Snake Island, and it's the only place you will find 2,000 or so of the wholly unique golden lancehead viper, or Bothrops insularis.
When you step ashore, with a keen eye you spot one of these snakes roughly every 10 to 15 minutes after clearing the base of the island, and as many as one every six square yards in other parts of the island. This means, as you are walking through the waist-high brush, even with some good boots on, it's like walking through a minefield that moves and, instead of blowing you into chunks, slowly paralyzes you and liquefies your insides, as the golden lancehead does to the migrating birds it feeds on in the treetops.
Well, "liquefying your insides" may be a stretch, but no one knows for sure because no one bitten has lived long enough even to be admitted to a hospital, or at least none of the researchers who accompanied VICE on their journey to Snake Island owned up to that fact. Nor did the Brazilian Navy, who allowed VICE exclusive access to document their annual maintenance inspection of Snake Island's lighthouse—which has been automated ever since the 1920s, after the old lighthouse keeper ran out of food and disappeared while picking wild bananas in a small grove near the shore. According to legend, he and the members of his rescue party died one by one, all alone and in search of one another after each had been missing for some time.
The golden lancehead is so unique and its venom so potent that specimens procured by snake-smuggling "biopirates" can fetch up to $30,000 apiece on the black market (with prices going much higher depending on the location of the rich weirdo snake collector or, some have speculated, the black-market biopharmaceutical chemists attempting to beat Brazil on a patent).
Is that the craziest fucking description of a documentary you've ever heard? The answer is yes. So of course VICE's editor-in-chief, Rocco Castoro, and senior producer, Jackson Fager, had to go there and nose around for themselves. On their return they said things like:
"It was like a David Lynch movie through the prism of Satan's asshole. The anti-Galápagos. Darwin in reverse."
"[It's] cut off from the mainland and perhaps the land of a long-buried pirate treasure, according to the stories from local fishermen. But they also told us there were aliens on the island, so pretty much anything goes. It's scorched earth. It's where I would send my worst enemies to live, and I look forward to setting up a business with the Brazilian government to do just that. After the World Cup, of course."
"What I can tell you is that there are stone fucking steps hand-carved into the face of one of the prominent cliffs, all the way up. But you can't dock anywhere near there. There's also the possibility that [the venom] could be used for an anti-cancer drug, or perhaps anti-aging. Maybe it could save mankind. Whatever. They wouldn't have saved my ass."
"There are blue locusts and so many of these weird, prehistoric-looking cockroaches on the ground at night that it crunches when you walk. Place is fucked. No one is allowed there for a reason. Don't ever go."
"All that said, great shoot. Great diving, too."
HOW DOES HE DO THAT?!?!?!?!?

Crazy Chris is checking out levitation and shows you how to levitation a tonfoil ball right at home!
Objective: to understand how magicians make things appear to levitate.
Materials Needed:
~ Tinfoil
~ Thread
If we break this down step by step we can figure out how this was accomplished.
Step 1) First thing we notice is that the tin foil ball seems to float in mid air, this means there must be a string attached to the tin foil ball.
Step 2) Second thing we notice is that the ball always seems to follow the magicians hands, which means the magician is using his hands to guide the string.
Step 3) Third thing we notice is the magician passes the tin foil ball around his body, which means the tin foil ball isnt attached to the hands but instead attached to another object perhaps off screen or the magicians body some where.
When ever you see something floating there's always something causing the object to float in mid air.

Happens > What Happens If You Microwave Dry Ice?
Posted by info on 14:45
Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide. Have you ever wondered what would
happen if you microwaved dry ice? Here's your chance to find out,
without risking your microwave!
First I've compared dry ice in water, in the microwave compared with left out on the countertop. The microwaved dry ice in water is nearly gone after a minute in the microwave because the microwave heated the water, causing the dry ice to sublimate more quickly.
Next I compared dry ice on a plate in the microwave to dry ice left on the counter. Although the microwaved plate became very hot, the dry ice was unaffected. The microwaved piece of dry ice and the control piece of dry ice were comparable in terms of shape and size.
The reason why dry ice is unaffected by microwaves is because carbon dioxide is a linear molecule with no electrical polarity. The electromagnetic waves given off by the microwave don't really interact with the nonpolar molecule, so nothing happens.

How to open a can without a can opener
Posted by info on 10:26
learned this trick in Cody Lundin's book "When All Hell Breaks Loose."
*Update 7-30-12*
Hello, fellow Lifehackers! Thanks for watching. First, let me say this was a big surprise. This was just something simple I recorded some time ago in a single take during a lunch break to show two of my friends what I'd learned.
Out of all the videos on YouTube that illustrate this technique, I don't know why Lifehacker picked mine. There are definitely better-quality videos with better explanations of how to do this. If I ever had any idea 150,000 other people were going to see this, I'd definitely have done some things differently. I'd have found somewhere quiet. I'd have used a better camera angle. I'd have had less rambling dialog. I wouldn't have used a knife at the end. I'd have had John Williams score the soundtrack. And I'd have had Seth Macarlane create animate characters to lead us through this journey of discovery. Girls on trampolines would have been nice as well.
I'd like to address the most popular question: Why not just use the knife?
Safety is the big reason. Leveraging the blade against the metal is dangerous. A lid cut free is sharp as well. Even being careful, accidents can happen. If you're in a situation where this is something you need to do, odds are you don't want to be taking any risks when it comes to the possibility of cutting yourself.
Simplicity is another reason. In an emergency, being able to take charge and delegate tasks is important. Scrubbing a can on concrete or a stone is something you can let a kid do while you go build a fire or put together some sort of shelter.
Some other questions:
What knife is that?
A Leatherman c55b. It's a good knife, but I now carry a Leatherman Skeletool.
Would having a knife with a can opener be a better idea?
Of course! Originally, I did have such a knife. Years ago, I'd bought a Leatherman k502x. It had everything the c55b has plus some additional screwdriver bits and a can opener. I managed to break the pin that held the top of the knife together. Leatherman has a 25-year warranty on their knives. When I sent it in, they sent back a c55b. No, the c55b isn't as nice of a knife but it beats a broken k502x hands down.
What if you don't have concrete in the jungle?
How often do you find yourself in the jungle now? Odds are, should you find yourself in an emergency, it's going to be close to home or somewhere like it. I have plenty of concrete there. How about you? Should you find yourself in the woods, look for a stone or rock. Flat is easier to work with but anything should do.
What if something gets in the food?
A little limestone or steel dust probably won't hurt you. I'm sure you've eaten far, far worse things. If you actually bother to try this, you'll see it's very easy to wipe the top of the can off before opening it.

That's it for now. Again, thanks to all you viewers and Lifehacker for my 15 minutes of internet fame. Out of curiosity, should I do any more videos?
