D’n'C member Steve Richardson recently took part in the Manchester branch of the World Naked Bike Ride. Quote from the site: “we face automobile traffic with our naked bodies as the best way of defending our dignity…” Wait. What?
No, seriously, I for one welcome our nude bike-riding overlords. Apparently there are many photos on Flickr of WNBR from around the world, but I haven’t looked, for some reason.

It seems all things Lego are spreading across the Internets, the latest being recreating classic photographs.
Thought you would appreciate that one, knowing what big tennis fans most of you are 
Others in the set include the Hand of God, Lunch Atop a SkyScraper and Tiananmen Square.
Previously on Doodz ‘n’ Chyx other things Lego related.

Highly entertaining. How long must it have taken to make this video?

Radiohead offer a competition to remix one of the songs from their “In Rainbows” album, a slow waltz in fact. Now, do you get a pulsing beat and trigger sped-up samples from the song on top of it, or do you bring together a dot matrix printer, a scanner, a Sinclair Spectrum and lots of hard drives and program them to recreate the song on video?

I can not freakin’ BELIEVE this! ChanologyASSIST, an Atlanta-based video prankster previously featured on D’n'C, brings video, typography and madness together in a tribute to…

The amazing anti-Scientology video work of Pelvidar is back! With outstandingly creative use of archive material and effects, Operation Fair Game: STOP hilariously debunks the claim that Anonymous wear masks to “intimidate”. Our own Damian is visible just after the twelve minute mark, in the Plymouth protest. As commenters on Enturbulation have suggested, these films are, hopefully, history books for the future.

The new song from Weezer - Pork and Beans - features a video starring a range of YouTube celebrities.
Valleywag has gone through and rounded up the YouTubers who appear in the video - I was most struck by the remarkable voice of Tay Zonday singing Chocolate Rain and my ghast was rather flabbered, when I saw the Numa Numa guy for the first time - I can’t think who he reminded me of …
Who is your favourite from that galaxy of YouTube stars?

I just found this care of the old faithful Stumbleupon. With the percussion composed entirely of munition sounds from the game Call of Duty 4, this is a fairly standard techno piece, but there’s something about it. The editing is quite clever, at least!

BluBlu’s film MUTO is awesome not just because it is an inventive and surreal animation, but because it is drawn on public walls and pavements in two different countries. It’s one of those “has to be seen to be believed” things. Thanks to Steve_Ri for the recommendation.
