Laser-focused owl gets rotated by silly scientist

3/10/2013

Old and dusted? Watching the whole "Rotate your owl" video. New hotness? This GIF, made by a savvy Reddit user, captures the video's essence and sums up exactly how a serious scientist should handle an owl: like a screwdriver. Or a rainstick. Surely there's no more noble creature than the winged nocturnal predator, famed in story and song for the millennia and hey, look what he can do, hahaha that's so silly. Gosh, that's silly. Some scientists made important discoveries in whatever time this footage was filmed (the '50s? the '60s?) and then others spent all day making owls dizzy. [Source]
