A new project: Beatbox Birds

I was thinking of a certain staff member when I found these videos:

Cute.

Did you see this one, from the same site? Sometimes I've wanted to let loose like this on one of my beaters....

There's actually a few guys doing heavy research with "dancing" birds now to see how they equate musical rhythm to movement. A lot of the research they do with coginitive processes of parrots translates well to autistic kids. If you've ever spent a lot of time around a parrot that would make perfect sense.

And we need to get that karate guy to the next Challenge.

Observe the beat box puffer fish.

Cute... but there's a fresh water piranha mixed in with salt water seahorses and puffers...

My fish do that little dance when they're hungry. They've yet to sing to me though.

No, the karate guy needs to be at the next LeMons event, he can dole out the peoples curse.

Ken from Street Fighter: Ryu, you've really let yourself go, haven't you...

I did vocal jazz at Sac State with the international women's beatboxing champion, Butterscotch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5xmb7Az8nM
