Phil Schneider is a champion in my books and here's why. Be patient with first minute or so, couldn't edit it out because I suck at making videos ok? Even my girlfriend tried.
"(cont'd)Phil Schneider   more...was a geologist, structural engineer and underground tunnelling expert for the US government and the UN. He participated in the construction of many DUMBS in North America and other countries. Phil was murdered by the CIA on January 17 1996 in his apartment in Wilsonville in Portland, Oregon.

In 1979 in Dulce New Mexico, Phil Schneider was drilling into the desert there to build an auxiliary base in the southern end of Dulce on top of an already existing underground base there. The already existing base had been built by the US government in the 1940's under ' operation blue note' but afterwards had been taken over by greys and reptilians. Over a period of two days Phil and his team had drilled four holes in the desert that went down several thousand feet.

One of the holes kept bringing up dirty dust, putrid odours and broken off machine bits that were sent down the hole. Boring machines and lasers came back up damaged when they were sent down there. A probe was then sent down that came back up totally missing. Eventually people were sent down. Phil was the first person to go. He was lowered down into the cave and when he got down there, standing around ten feet away were two seven-foot greys. He became petrified but managed to empty one clip from his pistol into the greys. As he was reloading one of the greys hit Phil with some kind of particle beam weapon which gave him a very high dose of nuclear radiation poisoning, similar to cobalt radiation but even worse. Phil's lung was burnt out of him and he has a huge scar running down his chest which he showed at his lectures which are available on video google.com. His fingers on his left hand were burnt off, his bones were burnt. He was basically cooked.

He was in radiation isolation therapy for 400 days plus. In the cave large metallic vats were found filled with human body parts, generally glands. In the vats were high tech stirring devices that stopped the blood coagulating."

Phil Schneider is also known as Phil Snyder in some documentation on the net.

Episode 0192

Part 1: A disconsolate Ernie tells Oscar the Grouch that he's lost his Rubber Duckie. Oscar tries to calm Ernie down, and says   more...that he'll buy Ernie another duckie. Ernie says he can't -- Rubber Duckie is special and unique. He tells Oscar that Rubber Duckie is "cute, adorable, sweet, cuddly, and makes a wonderful sound." Oscar tells Ernie that he'll bring him a new Duckie.

Part 2: Oscar comes back with a new Duckie, but this one is different -- it's a Grouch duckie. They realize that they have different ideas of what is cute and ugly. Ernie thanks Oscar for trying to help -- and when he sits down, he hears a familiar squeak. He digs through the stuff on the floor and finds his Rubber Duckie! Ernie and Oscar argue over which of their toys is the cutest.

In honor of Mother's Day (for Americans at least), I thought I'd post this classic short film from Sesame Street. Some parents would object to a baby getting a bath on national TV, but I'm sure the producers   more...just wanted to teach preschoolers who were curious about what Mommy is doing with their younger brother or sister. (Many thanks to Mike Statz for letting me clean and repost this clip!)  less

This clip is from the episode called ‘The Stone’. The scene opens with Master Po and Grasshopper in friendly combat. However, young Caine is angry, unfocused and is easily defeated by the blind Shaolin   more...master.

Like young Caine, many of us go through life grumpy and anxious. All too often our minds are reliving failures of the past or worrying over an unknowable future. In this frame of mind we become rigid and out of harmony with our surroundings. Skilfulness can only be achieved through flexibility, spontaneity and being fully present in the “eternal now”.

Master Po discovers Grasshopper is concerned that he is a coward. In the context of the yin-yang, Master Po explains: “What is cowardice, but the body’s wisdom of its weakness. What is bravery, but the body’s wisdom of its strength. The coward and the hero march together within every man. So to call one man a coward and another brave merely serves to indicate the possibilities of achieving the opposite.”

This clip was taken from the 1970's TV series 'Kung Fu' (Created by Ed Spielman, Herman Miller and Jerry Thorpe). It is essentially an American Western set in the latter half of the 1800's, with an Eastern hero who has neither a gun or a horse. The story follows the adventures of Kwai Chang Caine (David Carradine); a nature loving Shaolin priest who had recently fled China. He speaks softly but is no pushover. He lives humbly yet knows great contentment.

Each episode also takes the viewer back to Caine's childhood in the Shaolin temple. It is here under the instruction of the wonderfully charismatic Master Po (Keye Luke) and the stern yet loving Master Kan (Philip Ahn), young Caine (Radames Pera) learns the harmoniously balanced ways of Tao.

The teachings of the Shaolin was meticulously researched for the Kung Fu series. This makes Kung Fu one of the most authentic interpretations of Philosophical Taoism available in popular culture.

http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Happiness_Begins_at_40

Happiness Begins at 40 is a Sesame Street game show hosted by Guy Smiley. As its title suggests, the game involves counting to 40 along with the audience:   more...a lighted board reveals each new number as the count progresses. The contestants are a family of Anything Muppets whom Guy introduces as "the Sad family"; they enter the studio crying dramatically, but gradually become happier as they continue counting. Unlike most Sesame Street game shows, this one never awards or announces a prize to the contestants; happiness seems to be reward enough.
