I believe the weird fish in the video is an example of an Elephant Nose Fish. Although for all I know, it could have escaped from Finding Nemo!

Millions of Locusts

Millions of birds in flight are pretty, albeit just a little scary.

Number 96

Who knew that the first gay character on mainstream TV was featured way back in 1972 in the Australian soap opera NUMBER 96...? Not I, till recently.

Apparently the show was pretty hot stuff!

I think that this Australian kiddie show has a good chance to rival Barney or the Smurfs for saccharine content.

I kept waiting for a lawnmower to visit their grassy realm.
