“Confuse-a-Cat” features Michael Palin and Terry Jones as an anxious couple concerned for their cat’s well-being. Troubled that their cat just “sits out all day on the lawn,” they call the vet (Graham Chapman) for an urgent house visit. The vet, praises the couple for calling him just in the “nick of time” as their cat’s “physical inertia” and “absence of interest in its ambience,” shows it is clearly “in a rut” and explains that the only cure is to confuse it. Not being qualified to confuse cats himself the vet recommends calling “Confuse-a-Cat Limited” an organization run with military precision by the General (John Cleese) who, with his crack team of “Confusers,” attempts to shake the desperate couples’ cat out of it’s complacency with a show like no other.YouTube

A mechanical singing bird mechanism. Made around 120 years ago in Paris, probably by Bontems. In the film I hope you can identify  all the major parts and see them working together to make the sound. The mechanism was in a rusted and seized state and has been restored. Surpisingly the bellows are in good original condition. See our channel for more, much more.YouTube

From our friends at NASA comes this amazing 13-second animation that depicts how temperatures around the globe have warmed since 1950. You'll note an acceleration of the temperature trend in the late 1970s as greenhouse gas emissions from energy production increased worldwide and clean air laws reduced emissions of pollutants that had a cooling effect on the climate, and thus were masking some of the global warming signal.YouTube
