[Thales]

Hey guys!

Here is a piece of public domain footage from 1945 that every person who loves 'elephant spiders of the ocean floor' needs to see.

I got it. Hehehe, the misinformation of our history!!

 

[Thales]

Weird Colin. I tried a couple of browsers. Would you try again and let me know if it still doesn't work?
Mikey did it....

Here is the site I got it from:

Watch the whole thing to learn how swordfish attack whales!

Oh that was funny. Not exactly a David Attenborough commentary, how things have moved on, thank goodness. The commentators ludicrous enthusiasm and hyperbole reminds me of the narrator in the old Batman TV series.

Still, at least it's given me a new signature!

 

[Colin]

Hah, ok i got it eventually from the main site, dunno why it wouldnt go from your site Rich? No matter, it was a great wee clip from the past and certainly makes me glad to see that things have really moved on.
Amazing how they just 'dealt' with the shark!

 

[Tintenfisch]

Poor sharky.

 

[Thales]

Colin - would you try it again and let me know if it works? Maybe I was updating something when you tried...

 

[Colin]

Rich, for some reason I cant actually view any of you videos??? I dont undertstand why as I dont have that problem anywhere else??? My IE is up to date and I commonly use both media player 10 and realplayer to watch streams etc...

 

[Thales]

Thanks Colin!

Do you have quicktime installed? If not, they won't work. www.quicktime.com .

 

[Colin]

yeah thats the reason then

but to be fair it didnt say that on the site LOL
