Youtuber naturebatslast plays his dog Cecil several recordings of wolves howling. Cecil responds appropriately.
Wolves have a far more sophisticated range of vocalisations that domestic dogs, so – as one Redditor puts it – Cecil’s response could be something akin to George Costanza’s dismissive ‘yadda, yadda, yadda’.

The animatic (roughly animated sketch) of a proposed epic scene involving Iron Man that ultimately never made it into the final cut of The Avengers.
The suave Spyfox confronts an evil Hammerhead shark intent on flooding the world. A nifty short inspired by 1960s spy films and produced by Yoav Shtibelman, Taylor Clutter and Kendra Phillips – all students of the Ringling College of Art and Design.

Youtuber João Guimarães captures the amazing skills of a firefighting chopper pilot as he makes the first two of 25 refills at a neighbour’s swimming pool in Portugal, a legal last resort in wildfire situations. João sez:
…he was returning to the airfield from another bushfire when he saw the initial smoke column. He took the initiative to land and start the attack on his own since the fire was so close to houses. He made about 25 refills at the swimming pool, and this bucket carries about 600 liters, if I remember correctly. The swimming pool level lowered not even 40 cm after the mission. The helicopter left when the first firetruck arrived, the fire having already been extinguished.
Another angle here.
A BB sniper rifle (€75) powered and aimed by a USB connection to your computer. It’s all fun and games until an annoying co-worker gets a pellet in the eye.
Footage of an underwater sinkhole above a collapsing salt mine in Louisiana shot last Wednesday by members of the Assumption Parish Of Emergency Preparedness.
The phenomenon is part of an ongoing environmental disaster at Bayou Corne which has already forced the evacuation of an entire town.
Too sqeamish for the old glass ‘n’ postcard method? Unwilling to ferry arachnids from your home in your cupped hand?
This insanely popular (nearly 5,000,000 views) MAKE video from 2009 shows you how to make a compressed air powered ‘spider rifle’.
See now? There’s your weekend sorted.

Footage of hard core, poker-faced slot nerds and their insanely quick mini-motors at the 2013 Wing Car World Championship at Buena Park Raceway, Buena Park, California last May.
The 1:24 scale slot cars run at 12V and can reach speeds of up to 75mph (120km/h).

In case you missed it: footage of huge Russian Zubr Class LCAC ‘Bison’ military hovercraft on tactical mission, which made an alarming emergency stop on a packed beach at Mechnikovo on Sunday.
According to Business Insider, the beach is actually owned by the Russian military. So that’s all right then.
