Techno-viking

Is it wrong that I find the techno-viking so fascinating? I know this went around a while ago, but I have a link to it so I can watch it every once in a while. For those that prefer the non-Michael Jackson version, here's a link to that. For those wanting more information about the techno-viking...here's some info from the best reference tool around, the urban dictionary.

Don't believe me? Without looking, tell me what a merkin is? Yeah, I didn't know either.

Back for the second year in the row is the Raptor Cam. There's three eggs in her nest this year. Last year there were two, but one of the little hawks died when he/she fell out of the nest (before learning to fly). Sometimes you get to see them with some prey they've caught for dinner. YUM!

What are they doing??????

How can they mess with a classic? This is just wrong.
