Buy My Dump

2008-10-05T12:02:00.002+02:00

By now I suppose you all have seen a Houston investment rental property that had been trashed.

Basically it was underinsured and the insurer would NOT pay for the tenant damage. I'm pretty jaded by the whole thing but I want to just walk away from it. Problem is it has a mortgage over it so it need to be sold. A savvy Houston area investor could pick up a bargain. The place should be worth around US$80,000.

The highest current bidder is sitting at US$38,900. [via Buy My Dump]

Apparently YouTube fixed the sound! Still, Will Barras made two options trying to get around the original problems:
Other YouTube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T 3iryBLZCOQ
Vimeo: http://www.vimeo.com/1431471?pg=embed...

Vimeo is downloadable if you log in.

There has been a lot of interest in the original mp3, lyrics, and vocals for remixing. You can find all that here:
https://www.msu.edu/~mcalpin9/lhc_rap...

Images came from:
particlephysics.ac.uk, space.com, the Institute of Physics, NASA, Symmetry, and Marvel

The talented dancers doubled as camera people, with some work by Neil Dixon. Stock footage is CERN's.

Will Barras is responsible for the killa beats:

And thanks to MC Hawking, who first thought of using computer-voice to bring Stephen Hawking to the world of rap :-)

The rapper has a day job (we agree this is a good thing) as a science writer.
