Rumour has it's a hoax!

Does this look like a fake to you or did the eagle really try to fly off with the baby??

It looks pretty real.. but apparently it's well done CGI [url]http://wtvr.com/2012/12/19/viral-fake-out-golden-eagle-snatches-kid-is-cgi/[/url] |
The wing action doesn't look right, even in the flight shots before the 'strike'. And I doubt even a golden eagle has the strength to fly that far with a baby in tow. I'm voting for fake.

me too - looks fake and this could only have happened if this was an African Eagle because this is a simple matter of weight ratios. :D
MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL* KING ARTHUR: Whoa there! [clop clop clop] SOLDIER #1: Halt! Who goes there? ARTHUR: It is I, Arthur, son of Uther Pendragon, from the castle of Camelot. King of the Britons, defeator of the Saxons, sovereign of all England! SOLDIER #1: Pull the other one! ARTHUR: I am,... and this is my trusty servant Patsy. We have ridden the length and breadth of the land in search of knights who will join me in my court at Camelot. I must speak with your lord and master. SOLDIER #1: What? Ridden on a horse? ARTHUR: Yes! SOLDIER #1: You're using coconuts! ARTHUR: What? SOLDIER #1: You've got two empty halves of coconut and you're bangin' 'em together. ARTHUR: So? We have ridden since the snows of winter covered this land, through the kingdom of Mercea, through-- SOLDIER #1: Where'd you get the coconuts? ARTHUR: We found them. SOLDIER #1: Found them? In Mercea? The coconut's tropical! ARTHUR: What do you mean? SOLDIER #1: Well, this is a temperate zone. ARTHUR: The swallow may fly south with the sun or the house martin or the plover may seek warmer climes in winter, yet these are not strangers to our land? SOLDIER #1: Are you suggesting coconuts migrate? ARTHUR: Not at all. They could be carried. SOLDIER #1: What? A swallow carrying a coconut? ARTHUR: It could grip it by the husk! SOLDIER #1: It's not a question of where he grips it! It's a simple question of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut. ARTHUR: Well, it doesn't matter. Will you go and tell your master that Arthur from the Court of Camelot is here. SOLDIER #1: Listen. In order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings forty-three times every second, right? ARTHUR: Please! SOLDIER #1: Am I right? ARTHUR: I'm not interested! SOLDIER #2: It could be carried by an African swallow! SOLDIER #1: Oh, yeah, an African swallow maybe, but not a European swallow. That's my point. SOLDIER #2: Oh, yeah, I agree with that. ARTHUR: Will you ask your master if he wants to join my court at Camelot?! SOLDIER #1: But then of course a-- African swallows are non-migratory. SOLDIER #2: Oh, yeah... SOLDIER #1: So they couldn't bring a coconut back anyway... [clop clop clop] SOLDIER #2: Wait a minute! Supposing two swallows carried it together? SOLDIER #1: No, they'd have to have it on a line. SOLDIER #2: Well, simple! They'd just use a strand of creeper! SOLDIER #1: What, held under the dorsal guiding feathers? SOLDIER #2: Well, why not? |
:laughing:
I remember that exchange! Someone should dub that conversation into that video!! :D |
An update says the video was a hoax created by students at this school Montreal animation school Centre NAD
|
Silly me!I did not see the part that said it was fake. I was so shocked by it and thought it was real.

That was good..I never was into Monty python
|
Have a coupla beers and watch [URL="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071853/"]Monty Python and the Holy Grail[/URL]! Some scenes are silly but I recall laughing like a lunatic at other scenes.
In fact it's been at least 15-20 years since I have seen it...time to see it again to see if it holds up. I'm betting that it will hold up. :laughing: |
Never seen this movie. I have heard a lot about it though. Not really in the mood to watch a movie now but maybe over Christmas break.
|
It would be more like a few stiff drinks.:laughing:
