Generic (no author style specified): Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there was a brave knight named Sir William. He was renowned throughout the kingdom for his valor, loyalty, and unwavering sense of justice.

This is still one of the best videos on the internet.
I recently rediscovered this one, though I’m pretty sure I saw it fifteen years ago and forgot about it. Still one of the best videos on the internet.
Can this video possibly be more Georgian?
All it needs is a couple of old men playing backgammon on a folding table by the side of the road… although that’s something you see more of in the town, not the village. For goodness’ sakes, it even has a rooster crowing at the end!

I love this so much!

Planets one through six of our solar system, all captured in one amazing shot. Very well done. By the way, if you’re looking for… Continue reading Good Morning Planets
