    Don't know if this has been posted yet, but this is from the excellent documentary, Life in a Day.

    This movie had so so many moments that really struck me and this was definitely one of them.

    This is a shortened clip of it


    This is a longer version.

    Seen this on FB earlier, and from his IMDB page
    In 2012, Ron Perlman once again endured the 4-hour makeup routine required to transform him into Hellboy--not for a sequel or other acting job but to fulfill the Make-A-Wish request of a six-year-old boy named Zachary who has leukemia. Creature effects house Spectral Motion applied Perlman's Hellboy makeup (and later, also made up Zachary as Hellboy as well), and then Zachary got to spend the day hanging out with "Hellboy.".

    The Nickelback version of the song wasn't good, but the spirit he did it in was. But the saddest thing is the thought of him sitting alone in their home, without the woman that sat beside him for 75 years.

    :(:(

    She was probably just copying what the trainer was doing.
    I'm dead inside.

    Many years ago, they did a live chat on AOL with Koko the Gorilla, who has been taught sign language for years. It was amazing what she could respond to (her training typing her responses, or course). She understood every question put to her. When asked what she wanted for her birthday, she said "Food, Smokes", which meant she wanted treats for her kitten, Smoky. And she made up the word "finger bracelet" to say "ring", cause she didn't know the word ring...

    In not disputing the fact that our primate cousins are intelligent, I just can't get to her letting her trainer know "I am anatomically unable to shed a tear, but if I could, I would"
    I'm thinking that is more likely she was mimicing her trainer. But I wasn't there, so I'll shut up now.

    She also famously blamed the kitten for ripping a sink off a wall.

    It's possible that she was simply stating what the trainer was doing, but she could also have understood that 'cry' is something humans do when sad and was expressing sympathy. We'll never know, but apes are known to be able to show empathy, even towards other species.

    An anthropologist proposed a game to children in an African tribe. He put a basket full of fruit near a tree and told the children that whoever got there first won the sweet fruits. When he told them to run, they all took each others hands and ran together, then sat together enjoying their treats.

    When he asked them why they had run like that when one could have had all the fruits for himself, they said, ‘UBUNTU, how can one of us be happy if all the other ones are sad?’ (‘UBUNTU’ in the Xhosa culture means: ‘I am because we are.)

    As cool as this story is, unfortunately most of it is incorrect. Stallone had already appeared in a few dodgy soft-core flicks, had written and appeared in a few episodes of big TV shows and had a couple of leading roles and appearances in a few movies by the time he wrote Rocky. The homelessness and bus station did happen but this was several years before he wrote the Rocky script. Sorry :o

    Randy Pausch's Last Lecture

    This is one of the greatest things I have ever watched.

    Take the time, watch it!

    Didn't have a clue which thread to put this one in. Maybe not as "feels" as other posts, but pretty cool all the same. Not a big Green Day fan myself, but I do like this song and that gives a good back story to the title (providing it's true, of course!).
