Two Consenting Adults, One MRI

Glory be to the Age of Information and Enlightenment that we live in, for it gives us MRI porn.  

And while we laymen make light of the brilliant minds behind such an endeavor, we must remember that scientific progress is more often made by some saying "You know what would be cool...", than by other, more serious, means.

YiEMB - Let Me Entertain Lu

For Lu is a harsh mistress.  To that end there are six (7! Siete! VII!) videos in today's playlist, each entertaining in it's own right.  Taken together though, and watched in the specially optimized viewing order they are presented in, they. Will.  Blown.  Your.  MIND!!!*

Leading off this charge of AWESOME is Britain's own Robbie Williams singing "Let Me Entertain You", followed by a cute video of a dog in a swing.  I mean, that dog is really cute, and it looks so happy in the swing!  Then things take a turn for the SERIOUS in next video - a machinima for the Breaking Benjamin song "So Cold" made using the Half-Life 2 engine.  Fret not, however, as the pendulum swings back to the RIDICULOUS after a quick interlude with Goofy in "How to Dance"!  That RAUCOUS number is the perfect intro in "Titanic in 5 Seconds", which is itself THEMATICALLY linked to our final video, the finale of "Bathing Beauty" starring the INDOMITABLE Esther Williams!
