A BBC nature show about a bird in the forest may not seem like the most interesting thing, but this is actually really amazing. This bird not only imitates other birds, but also imitates a camera shutter, a car alarm, and a chainsaw. And it sounds real. Watch the video below.
Also, is this were they got the sounds effects for R2D2?
This novel was published after the Chilean-Mexican author's death, and I'm not even sure if it was entirely finished or not. It is broken up into five parts which, while connected, stand pretty much on there own. I have not yet made it to the grim part about the murders of hundreds of women in Mexico, so I have so far found it enjoyable and even funny despite some dark underpinnings. It's had a ton of critical praise, and I like it much more than my last foray into the violent novel genre: Blood Meridian.
Been listening to this one a lot, pretty much the whole way through.

I just took some time to look at this post again, and I am still completely amazed by this bird.
