“What you gonna do when you get out of jail?…” part 97

Science Sunday!

Nobody has said this to me directly, but I am sure that some folks out there are saying under their breath, “These videos you keep posting are about as exciting as watching paint dry.”

Well, maybe. I like to think that these are slices of a bygone era, a time when we worked together and got things done. But I also keep telling myself:

There were no formerly heroic times, and there was no formerly pure generation. There is no one here but us chickens, and so it has always been…

Anyway, for the “as exciting as paint drying” group, I bring you: “Paint”. A 1967 film about paints and paint making, from our good friends at the Shell Oil company.

And as a bonus, also from Shell: “The Diesel Story”.

    Aha, I was wondering why watching some of these would on occasion hurt and make me go seeking my own lowbrow entertainment, but then there would be something on oh I don’t know, the Blue Angels or the Lockheed Electra and I’m lured back in.

    Dammit.

    We lowbrows have to stick together, Rich.

    I am a little surprised that you didn’t leave a comment on the Electra story…
