Slowed down footage of a bee squirting a clear liquid from its anus,, taken at the Auckland Botanical Gardens. Originally the event happened fast enough, 4 frames at 30 fps, that it was only viewable upon being slowed down. Since my camera scans from top to bottom, and the bee was positioned in the lower portion of the video, I believe this event actually took more like a tenth of a second instead of an approximately an eighth.

This is my favorite classical music composition ever. This performance is delivered with precision and passion by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra:
Symphony No 9 in D minor, Op 125 “Choral”
Composed by Ludwig van Beethoven
(1770, Bonn, Germany — 1827, Vienna, Austria)
Beethoven is widely regarded as the greatest composer who ever lived. His 9th Symphony combines the worlds of vocal and instrumental music in a manner never before attempted. His personal life was marked by a heroic struggle against encroaching deafness, and some of his most important works were composed during the last 10 years of his life when he was quite unable to hear.

Ivan Vasiliev from ilya kuznetsov on Vimeo.
There is a name being whispered conspiratorially around ballet circles at the moment. That name is Ivan Vasiliev, or as the popular press is beginning to call him Rocket Man. At just 21 he is the crown prince of the Bolshoi Ballet. Spartacus.
What is so special about him? Some would say his leonine grace on stage, others his fabulous looks. Most, however, would agree that it his simply jaw dropping aerial brilliance that has struck audiences. This boy can dance. The jumps that he executes are so dazzling, the turns so punishing that even in rehearsals his ballet colleagues stop and applaud him.
