A flash movie based on a song by Tom Lehrer called Poisoning Pigeons in the Park. I was happy to find this, being a longtime fan of The Elements Song.

"Poisoning Pigeons in the Park" has, for more than 35 years, been one of the few things which is capable of making me smile at any time upon hearing it, no matter what else happens to be going on at the moment.

The World is coming to a messy and unpleasant end? Put this on, and it'll brighten up your whole day.

But was the movie at least new to you?

No, it's one of several I've seen. I don't think any of them have quite managed to capture the spirit of the song.

If I had any doubts about Ocarina of Time being the greatest game ever, they've now been shattered. After almost ten years of playing the game, there are still things I've never seen. I'd never seen this before. That's right, one of the good guys dies ON SCREEN in a Zelda game (besides the Great Deku Tree, of course)! This gaming classic still has secrets to reveal, even without hacking in!

If I ever refive OOT, I'll be sure to include this scene.

For those of you who want to know what Sinterklaas is (Though it might be even funnier if you're actually Dutch):

I can't seem to play it myself, but I'm pretty sure it's the right video.
