They Are Among Us

Well, having that camera on my head all the time had to pay off sooner or later! I have captured some footage that strongly points to an alien presence in London Ontario:
 
 
 
 
 
I could not resist having that kind of fun when I saw those perfectly still wheels. Rantwick readers being as intelligent as they are, however, (which is roughly Government-experimental-spy-ferrets-after-6-solid-weeks-of-Luminawesomity-brain-training intelligent) many of you know what is going on here. Commonly called the "wagon wheel effect", this is what happens when the frame rate of my video camera happens to synch up rather perfectly with the rotation of the spokes in the wheels.


Here's a super cool video showing the same thing, this time with a badass helicopter:
 
 



I love stuff like this. Explicable, but still fun as hell. In my opinion. If you disagree, just put a sock in it. The aliens and I don't need your humourless downer vibes clouding the hivemind.

My Coffee Maker is Possessed

"Possessed" might be the wrong word. My coffee maker is more of a reincarnation. Of Darth Vader.
 
CHECK THIS OUT:
 
 
 
Wait, wait. That just looks like a black coffee maker. Sorry. Forgot to raise the lid:
 
 
 
Oh yeah. There he is.
 
 
What can I say? I mentioned in a previous post that this blog may be getting sillier for a while. You were warned.
 
Something related to cycling will appear here again very soon, I sort of promise.
