Thanks for sharing this. While I can quibble (I can always quibble), I think it 
is very good.

The website creaturecast.org<http://creaturecast.org> is a biology oriented

short videos on various biological topics.  If you go to
www.creaturecast.org<http://www.creaturecast.org> right now, you'll find that 
the second from
the top entry is on the central limit theorem (y'all know the CLT,
right?) but in the context of ecological examples involving
rabbits and dragons.  The NY Times has the videos on their
website but there you have to sit through an annoying video
ad before you get the goods (thus, risking damage to your computer
when you feel like hurling something at the screen; I find rubber
brick are a satisfying object to hurl both at the computer screen
and the TV when particularly stupid/misleading/offensive
commercials are shown).

Here's an example from the NY Time website on how cilia can
be used for locomotion:

The ad before the video changes so you might a particularly annoying
ad in which case make sure that you only have small books at arm's
length.
