Lots of fodder this week for STWOFWDA. We first planned to feature footage of the new giant Pacific octopus at the National Zoo in Washington. Later in the week, we were charmed by this video of dogs snatching treats from the air in slow motion. (The concentration. The joy.) But neither octopi nor retreiver could stand up to OK Go’s omage to Rube Goldeberg in the band’s latest video for “This Too Shall Pass.” (Hat tip, Discover blog).
We’re also fans of the previous video for this song, featuring the Notre Dame marching band.
