National Geographic Online

My paternal Grandmother, a member of the National Geographic Society, always had plenty of National Geographics laying around and for a curious child who loved to read about culture and society and science and just couldn't get enough of learning, this was Heaven. I have always loved this magazine. Now, as an online presence and alive in YouTube videos, National Geographic brings their magic to many millions more. I think that's pretty useful.

Here are some of my favorite National Geographic videos:

Operation Thunderbolt

Biggest Suspension Bridge

Eagle vs. Eagle in Mid-air

Shark vs Octopus

Ticks Can Kill Moose?

Hyenas on the Hunt

Two Greatest Captures of Crocodiles

Kills With One Bite

Real Life CSI: Crime Autopsy

Chasing Tornadoes

Akihabara News (the VERY latest most up-to-date news for geeks)

*Just my .02, but "cutting edge," as an expression, isn't exactly cutting edge anymore. Know what I mean, chili bean? Anyone got a better idea? We need a new cliche! Until then, lazy me will use whatever's floating nearest to the top of my brain.
