My theory on dogs

people have more empathy for dogs because of their ability to move each eyebrow individually. we project emotions on them and assume their motives are transparent while thinking the cat is plotting something....

fish highway

i first had this idea as a kid (using hamster highways as building blocks) - but figured i'd have to hook up a toilet like "flush" system to flush the fish into the highway - more elegant solution from the person who actually built it.

Ed Sullivan and the Beatles

Notes on first two appearances (Ed Sullivan Theatre and Miami Beach):
  • really feels like John is in the background compared to other three - although he is amused
  • seems like Paul sings lead on *every* song until second song (This Boy) in their second performance in Miami
  • Lots of crowd reactions to Ringo closeups
  • Great guitar work (and harmonizing) by George
  • Never knew Davy Jones appeared as a kid on first episode
  • In second show, although he pronounces it right in first show, Ed keeps referring to Miami as Miama
  • Mitzi Gaynor absoutely KILLS in her appearance on the second show. She is like a 1964 Madonna (attire, dancing, appeal, etc, except with a much stronger voice).
