Indeed. I searched for "lyre bird" but not "lyrebird." My mistake. posted by milquetoast at 7:29 PM on August 1, 2007
Yeah, we've seen that bird before. But check this out: I've got a muhfukkin chainsaw that does a perfect imitation of a lyrebird. That is of course, a lyrebird imitating a chainsaw. It's uncanny. The chainsaw nails it, spot on. I'd post it, you know, but it'd be a self-link. posted by flapjax at midnite at 7:31 PM on August 1, 2007 [2 favorites]
I actually found the other post by doing a search for "Attenborough". posted by Poolio at 7:33 PM on August 1, 2007
I don't know how the Telegraph's list could omit Fox11's investigative report on Anonymous (previously). posted by Poolio at 7:42 PM on August 1, 2007

That lyrebird....wow. The mind, it boggles. posted by notsnot at 7:52 PM on August 1, 2007
The ping pong clip looks a little fake. As if they had two guys swinging paddles around wildly and animated a ball into the film later. posted by stavrogin at 8:46 PM on August 1, 2007
i know it is ... i was good, but not up to that level ... it's a blood sport
The ping pong clip looks a little fake.
it's not ... by the way, the exchange starting around 3.00 is superb play by both players as they try to outwit and outplace one another ... it's the best point in the video posted by pyramid termite at 9:08 PM on August 1, 2007
Thanks for Newscaster and Lizard, Mr Zero. I've now got chewed sandwich all over my laptop. posted by strawberryviagra at 9:09 PM on August 1, 2007
I wonder how many times you'd have to say in a low, menacing voice "I'm going to kill you" in the vicinity of a lyre bird before you guarantee that that bird is going to freak the shit out of every solitary walker in those woods for the rest of its life. posted by George_Spiggott at 9:12 PM on August 1, 2007 [4 favorites]
What ... no SOSCAT?
Holy crap. What the hell is going on there? Poor creature.
In the end, I chose Snowy because he apparently took out the cameraman, while Berger will take a while to spit enough bar-melting venom to escape his cage. posted by rob511 at 9:20 PM on August 1, 2007
Thirding Mr. Zero's hilarious newscaster and lizard. Don't watch this if anybody near you is sleeping, your laughing'll wake them up. posted by nickyskye at 9:57 PM on August 1, 2007
George_Spiggot, you have a brilliantly twisted mind. posted by flapjax at midnite at 10:28 PM on August 1, 2007
As mentioned in the comments from the Telegraph page, the wedding thriller is cute but nowhere near the awesomness of prison thriller. posted by mexican at 11:20 PM on August 1, 2007
Mr Zero, I'm in trouble. Laughing at that woke my gf up, and she's not in the same room. posted by quarsan at 12:38 AM on August 2, 2007
I hate the videos of those cats stressing out. Cats are loving and gentle animals by nature, not arrogant or dangerous. The only reason a cat gets like that is if it's been tormented and threatened.
Heck, and I'm not even a cat person. posted by JaySunSee at 5:22 AM on August 2, 2007
Huh? Is this new to the web or something? This has been available from the Life of Birds series for years. posted by agregoli at 6:46 AM on August 2, 2007
