What's Up...

Okay, first of all, thanks to everyone who sent in an email welcoming me - I do read them and appreciate the messages. It makes my job a heck of alot more interesting.

Okay, so for today's clip, I had an actual LOL moment (laugh out loud for those of you not up to speed on today's internet/phone lingo). These moments are rare, and I think on more than one occasion, you have probably declared a false "lol" moment and did not actually utter a sound out loud (shame on you.)

What's even more impressive is that the laugh happened within the first 3 seconds. What appears to be a clumsy dung-beetle falls almost instantly onscreen. After that quick laugh, it gets a little more interesting as the dung beetles battle over their prizes. There are a few more beetles that seem to crash into things... I guess you can't really expect gracefulness out of the creatures that spend all day playing with poop.
