Big Fat Russian Wedding (funny video parody)




Wedding (the way Russians do) is a video parody made by Triod i Diod for KVN's* musical competition.
Tip: Please do not take it seriously! It's just a video joke about stereotypes attributed to the Russian wedding :)

*KVN is a popular Russian humor TV show where teams (usually students) compete by giving funny answers to questions, improvisations and prepared sketches.

Portrait of the Sun

A portrait of the sun in the wavelength of hydrogen alpha light. A fine art print of this image is available for sale. © Alan Friedman





This image of the sun taken by Buffalo, N.Y., photographer Alan Friedman has become an Internet sensation, thanks to the massive image's eye-popping amount of detail.

Friedman attached a hydrogen-alpha filter to his telescope to improve the visibility of the sun's surface detail. After all, the sun burns through 600 million tons of hydrogen a second.

The images were originally black and white. Friedman added some color, choosing orange to give the average earthling a sense of familiarity.

Also, she states that 11 is Greyson's soccer jersey number. On the afternoon of May 11, Yahoo! Music reported: "As of this writing, the video has gotten more than 36,000 views so far, and he's even been invited to perform on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show".

Buffalo stuck in pool


"Sat morning we saw 2 huge holes in our pool cover. I looked in and saw nothing. As I walked around to the shallow side the cover started jumping VIOLENTLY and scared me to death!! I called 2 friends and we SLOWLY removed the cover to discover a BUFFALO! A fella 2 miles away said his buffalo escaped and he couldn't find it. We held it for him!"
