Daily Tentacle: A Teaser for the First Footage of A Giant Squid in its Natural Habitat

About a month ago the Discovery Channel announced that a group of its filmmakers, equipped with a submersible and some unfortunate bait, have captured the first footage of a living giant squid in its natural habitat in history. Since then, we’ve been waiting a they teased us with the knowledge of its existence. Okay, maybe I’ve been waiting, but then I was a kid who always inched with horrified fascination over to the darkest corner of the Hall of the Oceans in the Museum of Natural History to peer into the murky squid/spermwhale diorama to glimpse that battle of titans.

Anyway, the Week has found a Japanese program who got just a little bit of the footage as a teaser.

LeVar Burton Becomes A Musician Thanks To The Reading Rainbow Remix

Earlier this year, Star Trek actor LeVar Burton was able to secure the Reading Rainbow Twitter account (much like we just secured @TheMarySue) and we knew great things were on the horizon. The latest? PBS Digital Studios’ John D. Boswell remixed the classic opening tune to the show. If you really hate auto-tune you may not like this particular video but we think Mr. Burton sounds pretty rad.

BBC Celebrates Susan Travers, The Only Woman in the French Foreign Legion

susan-travers-chauffeur-du-general-koenig-dr

This week, BBC Online Magazine proudly celebrates the life and complete badassery of the late Susan Travers, who would have been 100.

Travers was (and is) the only woman to have been a member of the French Foreign Legion. During her later years, surprised reactions to seeing her with the tell-tale red and blue ribbon would not have been unusual, especially given the Legion’s reputation and standing within France. For our American and non-French readership, let us say that the Foreign Legion, a military unit for foreign nationals who wish to serve in the French Armed Forces that is commanded by French officers, is notoriously tough. Because soldiers in the Legion hail from all over, a sense of cohesion is developed through rigorous training that is both physically and mentally extreme. Starting to get the idea?

Ask a Mortician Covers Not Dissolving Your Grandmother in Acid, Other Pressing Concerns

Who doesn’t need a little death in their life? If you’re not already following Caitlin Doughty and The Order of the Good Death, consider this your chance to catch up. A licensed mortician with a wry sense of humor and no fear of cameras (not to mention an endearing love of her cat), Caitlin has an interest in death and the death industry that’s as academic as it is professional. Determined to use her powers of morbidity for common good, she began the web series Ask A Mortician to do just what it says on the tin; answer burning (sometimes literally) questions about bodies, decomposition, funeral rites, exploding caskets, and yes, even zombies. Recently, she’s eschewed the longer, multi-question videos for single-question ones, meaning that AaM is more frequent. To our minds, that’s nothing but a good thing.

Go forth and be fascinated, by subscribing on to her YouTube, and checking out her trove of posts at Order of the Good Death’s main site.
