Albertville Man Finds Baby Falcons on Shed, Streams them Live on Internet

Posted by mistergroonk in Alabama, Animals on May 17, 2010

Jay Mostella noticed earlier this week that a falcon had made a nest in his shed. He found that two of the three babies had fallen behind a pole, and were unable to get out or be fed. Mostella did some quick research and decided to step in to help.

Mostella pulled the babies out of the hole and hand-fed them worms, because they didn’t have enough strength to stand on their own. After feeding the babies, he and his family put them back in the nest. Mostella then set up a live webcam so he could watch them and see if the mother returned to care for them. She did, and so did the father.

He’s not doing this for money so in effort to save bandwidth exclusively for those willing to watch, we’re not embedding the video here. You can follow any of the links below and get your fill of nature in the raw.

Bird Plots Against Science, Drops Bread in the LHC

Posted by mistergroonk in LOL, Science, Technology on November 13, 2009

By now you know the story of the bread, the bird and the Large Hadron Collider.

The bird dropped some bread on a section of outdoor machinery, eventually leading to significant over heating in parts of the accelerator. The LHC was not operational at the time of the incident, but the spike produced so much heat that had the beam been on, automatic failsafes would have shut down the machine.

What you may have missed is The Future Sabotage of the LHC theory where it is proposed that the Higgs Boson does not want to be found.

And long before that the Super-Fear of Hadron Super Collider, Silly, Won’t Die wherein some worry that daring to turn on the LHC will doom this Earth to being a Black Hole’s dinner.

From these meager scraps of super science-y notions we’ve managed to piece together the grander scheme. Here, faithful reader, is the rest of the story*:

Rise Above Your Concerns, My Children

Posted by mistergroonk in Flickrlicious, Just Freaking Neat, Photography on October 21, 2008

The World spins constant. A daily cycle. It turns and worries build. Forces, invisible yet strong, churn and conspire against you. They want to keep your feet steadfast, nailed to the ground. By denying you freedom, they gain satisfaction.

Cole Rise is the Antimethod. He’s here to free us all.
