It must have felt like the world was ending
Yu Muroga was doing his job making deliveries when the 8.11 earthquake hit. Unaware, like many people in the area, of how far inland the tsunami would travel, he continued to drive and do his job after the earthquake struck. The HD camera mounted on his dashboard captured not only the earthquake but also the moment he and several other drivers were suddenly engulfed in the tsunami.
He escaped from the vehicle seconds before it was crushed by other debris and sunk underwater. His car and the camera have only recently been recovered by the police. The camera was heavily damaged but a video expert was able to retrieve this footage.

Top 10 Biggest and Best Jumps Ever
Amazing video of people defying the laws of gravity. I could not imagine jumping out of a plane with no chute. These guys did it too. Then of course there is this nutjob.

Creepiest Robot Faces
A look at advances in Biomimicry and robotics is producing very cool (albeit creepy) results. By imitating natural expressions and even human cognition, David Hanson’s robots–made using a unique rubber substance that mimics human facial tissue–are making it easier to interact with robots by giving them a human face.

Friendly Bear Waves Goodbye
I knew this bear seemed good-natured. Please don’t assume they are all like this though. Generally, they will pounce on your children and eat their legs as if they were watching Monday Night Football at a Buffalo Wild Wings.

Why close quarters combat with the South Korean military is a bad idea
Here is a video of South Korea’s military displaying some unorthodox forms of fighting. I suppose being able to break concrete blocks with your head would come in handy if you ran out of ammo.

In the news this week
I was happy to hear Adam Carolla step up and highlight the hypocrisy in the media regarding his recent OWS rant. The sooner we realize it exists on the far right AND the far left, the better off we’ll be in this country.
Jonathan Davis, lead singer of the band Korn is not known to speak politically about things, but in a recent interview with Billboard.com, he explains his thinking behind the new track “Illuminati.” He believes that Obama is “an Illuminati puppet” and that maybe this One World Government stuff holds some truth. It seems he doesn’t care what other musicians in the industry think about his conspiracy theory thinking. I respect him for speaking his mind on a fear that more and more regular folks in America have. Not just crazies. 🙂
Live in an apartment or condo that doesn’t allow you to install a satellite dish? Sat+ has created a chair-shaped satellite dish secretly giving you hundreds of channels without being hassled by your landlord. For the time being the Sat Chair looks is only available from European sites for around $325. Maybe Dish or DirectTV will starting making some?
I am finally reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and am really looking forward to the film. Here is an 8 minute trailer if you are interested.
Am I a jerk for being tired of seeing news reports of soldiers return home to surprise a family member? Here’s another one. Like flash mobs of people dancing in the street, these cute (but sappy) reunions are becoming an everyday occurrence.
Albert Pujols thanking God for the obscene amount of money he just got paid.
Albert Pujols agreed to a deal that will pay him $254 million over 10 years to play baseball (a game) for the Angels. I love baseball, but am tired of teams trying to buy championships. Can we please just get a salary cap in place???

“THIS IS NOT DRILL”
December 7th, 1941, a date which will live in infamy.
Radiogram to military installations.
On December 7, 1941, the U.S. naval base on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, was attacked by Japan. In less than 2 hours, the U.S. Pacific Fleet was devastated, and more than 3,500 Americans were either killed or wounded. The incident triggered a mobilization for war. On December 8, the United States declared war against Japan; on December 11, Germany and Italy declared war against the United States.
This small, short document symbolizes and foreshadows the events and world climate that would define the last half of the twentieth century.
