The Buttered Cat Paradox 2007-06-15 12:21:06 Everybody knows cats always land on their feet. Everybody knows what happens when you drop a buttered bread: it alwats land butter side down. And everybody remembers the cat/bread butter paradox. Mauricio Adachi made this experimental movie to prove the theory.

Debret and Brazil - 11 - Indians Cavalary 2007-06-21 06:00:46 My favourites images from the first tome of Debret´s book, are:
Botocudos family and their flamboyant “clothes”. I love it, maybe I have Botocudo’s blood… Who knows…
These warriors from Guaicuru Cavalary are great.
And this gracious master of Archery and Hunting

Living In A Barrel 2007-06-23 14:21:21 So this southerner young couple was a bit bored with urban semi-civilized Brazilian life and decided to live Diogenes style: in a barrel, literally. They bought a big oak barrel from a neighboring winemaker, and installed it in a small patch of land in a hill (1400 meters above sea level) far from any town in a mountain called Montenegro (Black Mountain) in the southern Rio Grande do Sul state. In this video you can see them showing to a national TV reporter how they use and recycle everything on their property, how they live “close to nature and birds” and so on.

“In a full moon night I can read without artificial lights” says the girl at the ending. Diogenes “get out of my sun, Alexander of Macedonia” of Sinope should approve of them.
Thanks for the hint, Träsel.

He-Man sells motorbikes and scooters 2007-06-27 17:41:51 Unemployed since the eighties, He-Man left Greyskull to live in Brazil. Though he’s a pitiful failure since he was fired from Hollywood, he’s still powerful in some ways, so this motorbike shop employs him as a debt collector.
