I’m not so sure if this music video tops OK Go’s Rube Goldberg-inspired masterpiece in “This Too Shall Pass“, but it most definitely ranks up there in the band’s collection of bizarre yet intricately impressive outings. After four weeks and 124 takes (take #72 was the winner), OK Go bandmates Damian Kulash, Tim Nordwind, Dan Konopka, and Andy Ross successfully choreographed a music video with 12 dogs and 1 goat. Watch the furry fellas jump through mazes of furnature in this blink-and-you-miss-it extravaganza.

An upcoming National Geographic documentary called “Extraordinary Animals in the Womb” will feature these photographs of dolphins, sharks, dogs, penguins, cats and elephants inside the womb of their parents. Peter Chinn, the show’s producer, “used a combination of three-dimensional ultrasound scans, computer graphics and tiny cameras to capture the process from conception to birth.” These are definitely the most detailed (and first, really) embryonic animal pictures I have ever seen. How beautiful, innocent, and fascinating they all look.
