Videos of Pure Good

First, I will show you a video of a robot whose amazing technology is exceeded only by my amusement at the audience's reaction.

It seems that this animatronic marvel was created in the 19th century. NINETEENTH F'IN CENTURY. While we were putting iron on boats and debating the merits of human-ownership, the Japanese were laying the foundation for the Jetsons (while they weren't busy being ninjas).

This video is entirely in Japanese, but that doesn't matter. The big payoff, for me at least, is at 0:48, when they show us the mechanism by which the animatronics operate.



Next, I will show you one of the finest independent films of all time. No, it's not D is for Dope. It is a documentary capturing the 96-6 routing of the Theta Chi basketball team at the hands of the mighty Phi Kappa Psi warriors, circa 2001.

Of course, this video is worthless except for my nostalgia's sake, and also to see BigDG, Kuey, Buddha, and the rest put on a helluva show.

Pay special attention to the end of the video, wherein a janitor passes by and reacts to the score.
