God how many times have I seen that on Youtube!
Does the whole game have such good graphics? I guess it´s time for me to come down from my tree. Last time I watched a video game it had pixels.
Ironically i can't play games I get headaches....but the graphics are as good as shown and I loved the story and of course the trialer....it's awesome.
#14, #17 and #19 really did make me laugh hard

JOINT PRIZE IN BIOLOGY AND ASTRONOMY: Marie Dacke [SWEDEN, AUSTRALIA], Emily Baird [SWEDEN, AUSTRALIA, GERMANY], Marcus Byrne [SOUTH AFRICA, UK], Clarke Scholtz [SOUTH AFRICA], and Eric Warrant [SWEDEN, AUSTRALIA, GERMANY], for discovering that when dung beetles get lost, they can navigate their way home by looking at the Milky Way.

SAFETY ENGINEERING PRIZE: The late Gustano Pizzo [USA], for inventing an electro-mechanical system to trap airplane hijackers — the system drops a hijacker through trap doors, seals him into a package, then drops the encapsulated hijacker through the airplane's specially-installed bomb bay doors, whence he parachutes to earth, where police, having been alerted by radio, await his arrival.

ARCHAEOLOGY PRIZE: Brian Crandall [USA] and Peter Stahl [CANADA, USA], for parboiling a dead shrew, and then swallowing the shrew without chewing, and then carefully examining everything excreted during subsequent days — all so they could see which bones would dissolve inside the human digestive system, and which bones would not.

I liked the one with grumpy cat lol.
Marlon Brando, Louis Armstrong, Ingrid Bergman, Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart and Ronald Reagan.
He obtained them the traditional letter-writing way in the 40's and 50's. It was quite surreal to hold all these... (all genuine). He has a full box of 'em, these are only a few examples.
:-O
That is soooooo cool.
Please make this 2 hours
I usually don´t like posting trailers for upcoming films in this thread, but watching this trailer after Jackie Chan told everybody he´s done with action films brought tears to my eyes:
This is the best thing I've seen in ages, if this doesn't make you a hippy tree hugging monkey, i don't know what will:
:))
Disco... amazing. Really a love pic of the collection too.
