Stupid People Walking into Glass
Here is a compilation of some stupid people walking into glass. After watching this video of people walking into glass doors you feel better about yourself knowing that at least you aren't as dumb as they are.
How Not to Leave in a Hurry
Not sure why these stupid people are in a big rush – maybe they are on a scavenger hunt to find their brains. She's gotta be one of the dumbest people on the planet. The guy can't be too bright either because he almost followed her into the glass door until he saw her flat on her ass. Hopefully the door slam knocked her uterus out and we won't have to worry about her breeding any time soon.
Glass Blanket
When you're sleepy there's nothing more comforting than wrapping yourself in a cozy blanket of glass. See, this sleepy head has the right idea. He's about to dose off for an afternoon power nap and spots a free sheet of glass blanket just hanging there.
The Bruised Bride
I giggled so hard the 1st, 2nd & 3rd time I watched this video - and 4th & 5th. This stupid lady walks right into glass. Those bruises are going to look so nice on her wedding day & the bloody nose will go perfectly with the roses.
Glass is Un-Made
This is how glass is made. This is how glass is unmade. I'll give it to this dumb guy, he sure knows how to make a grand entrance. TA-DA everyone, I'm here! I love the people coming to check on him. Sir, welcome to planet earth. That was glass you met earlier. Next time please use the door. I hope they made him clean up the broken glass.
Karma is a Glass Door at a Kebab Shop
This walking talking idiotic dung pile is taking a cab to crazy town because there are green peppers on her kebabs and her spoiled little rat faced kids don't eat green things. Boo-fucking-who! But don't worry viewers, help is on the way. The hero of this story is a glass door primed with magical karma. Tinkle tinkle tinkle – that's the sound of magic. “Get it right the first time!” yelled the lady who can't even operate a door. I could watch her walk into that door for hours while snacking on green pepper kebabs. I'm just glad the strip club gave her the night off so she could spend some quality time with her kids.
How to Drink Coffee Like a Boss
I wonder how the company's new force field is coming along? Mission Accomplished! Every morning I tell myself: I am rich. I am powerful. I'm a moron covered in coffee. Honestly, how stupid do you have to be to walk into a glass door when the door beside it is propped open? If this is an employee, why do I have the feeling the company eventually went bankrupt?
I'm Late for a Very Important Date!
The first indicator that you have to use a door to exit an area is the fact there is an open door to exit through. If ever in doubt of how to leave a building, doors are generally a better choice than a large piece of mounted glass. Sure you might save a few seconds leaving, but you usually lose that benefit while being sewn back together in the emergency room.
More Dumb Than a Door
I love this next clip. Every time I watch it I feel like Albert Einstein. This lady is outsmarted by a door – yes, that makes her more stupid than a door. The doors are automatic and literally open up right in front of her so there is no excuse for what happens next. The sad part is, the head bonk and new concussion are just going to make her even more stupid. And when you are already too stupid to walk through open doors, then you got a problem no one can fix. For her own protection she should be covered in bubble wrap and imprisoned in a Nerf room.
Drunk Shopping at the Mall
Oh every day is such a lovely day for drunk shopping at the mall. I just remembered what I forgot to buy, an instruction manual on how to use a glass door. Take a lesson from this moron everybody. Drinking and shopping is not a good combination unless of course, you are shopping for more alcohol. I love the way he falls. He stiffens up like a virgin on prom night and hits the canvass harder than Picasso.
Freedom is a Glass Door Away
Hmmm, now the instruction manual says to slowly walk in front of the doors and they will open. Think I'll just run through the glass instead.
When I first watched this clip I wondered if he ever encountered an automatic glass door before. It's odd to think there are people who have never seen such things but it's true. Then after I watched it again, I thought, hey he figured out how to get in without running through glass surely he should be able to get out. Oh boy, how I was wrong - he's just another stupid person walking into glass!

Preview of the AGO's JUNO Tour of Canadian Art. And Henry Moore too.
To mark the 40th anniversary of the JUNO Awards (March 27 in Toronto), the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS) and the Art Gallery of Ontario are kicking off an innovative project pairing great Canadian art — and the AGO's great collection of Henry Moore sculptures — with great Canadian music. JUNO Award--winning musicians Alpha Yaya Diallo, Buck 65, Dan Hill, Gord Downie, Hawksley Workman, Jane Bunnett, Measha Brueggergosman and Tanya Tagaq visited the AGO and chose artworks with particular meaning for them. Their recorded responses — along with a piece of their music that they feel resonates with the art — can be found, and heard, next to the art. In the Canadian collection and in the Henry Moore gallery. Until August 31.

Olga, Elgar & Eli HUDSON: The sunshine of your smile (1914)
British concert soprano Eleanor Jones-Hudson (1874-1945)
Eleanor, Winifred & Eli Hudson as Olga, Elgar & Eli Hudson
The sunshine of your smile (Lilian Ray) / Recorded: 1914 --
The following is from The Record of Singing by Michael Scott
Holmes & Meier Publishers, Inc.
New York (1979)
Eleanor Jones-Hudson was a popular British concert singer whose records of arias from opera and oratorio, ballads and songs sold prodigiously in her life-time and still appeal to lovers of fine singing today. Born in Wales, as a child she liked to raise her voice at local music events; by the time she reached her late teens it was apparent that she had the talent to profit from professional training. A group of local music lovers set up a fund to raise sufficient money to enable her to go to Cardiff and study with Madame Clara Novello Davies, a prominent figure in Welsh musical life; a soprano herself, later choral conductor, she taught many well-known singers including Clara Butt, and her son was the popular light opera composer Ivor Novello. In 1896 Eleanor Jones, as she was, secured a scholarship to the Royal College of Music, London, and became a pupil of Anna Williams, a famous concert soprano in Victorian days, whose own teacher, John Welch, like Santley, had been a pupil of Gaetano Nava in Milan. Jones proposed to travel to Italy herself but circumstances, namely Eli Hudson, a flautist of considerable distinction and later Chairman of Beecham's New Symphony Orchestra, intervened, and they were married in 1900. Thereafter she was busy in oratorio, concerts and recitals throughout Great Britain and especially in the recording studios of the Gramophone company, Zonophone and Odeon, under her new name, but sometimes as Alvena Yarrow and Madame Deering. On the outbreak of the war, at the instigation of the impresario Stoll, Eleanor and her husband and his sister Winnie, an accomplished executant on a variety of instruments, formed the Hudson Trio and toured the leading provincial theatrical circuits for the next three years; their programmed were a mixture of classical and light music. In 1917 at Knowsley Hall, Liverpool, they performed in front of King George V and Queen Mary. Later that year Hudson was drafted into the army; he was killed in the last weeks of the war (1). Immediately thereafter Jones-Hudson retired to Wales, though she did re-emerge from time to time for charity concerts and church functions, both as singer and in melodramas and dramatic recitations. Hers was not the kind of voice that rose over the Wagnerian flood and stirred vast multitudes, nor was she a high priestess buried in the interpretive depths. Her programmes did not demand such things; it was the ineffable sweetness of the singing itself that she charmed. The voice is a high, pure, lyric soprano, the production easy and limpid throughout its range. The soft-grained warmth of the tone in Lurline's 'Sweet spirit hear my prayer' conjures up visions of evenings spent around the piano in the parlor, where the pleasure that beautiful singing can give was known and fully appreciated by thousands who never went to the opera. Hers was a cultivated art, the legato smooth and her diction an object lesson in clarity, but it never interferes with the flow and tone and there is no exaggerated ejaculation of consonants. She phrases gracefully and the voice is nicely responsive to shifting mood and tempo. Her account of the Israelite Woman's 'Let the bright seraphim' from Handel's Samson, though accurately despatched in the divisions, lacks the boldness that would have come from theatrical experience; it rather peters out at the end without a cadenza or even a flourish. This absence of sensationalism, however, of all suggestion of artiness and contrivance, was in some measure a part of what makes her manner seem so truthful and spontaneous. Her record of Musetta's Waltz fro La Boheme has the special interest of being one of very few recordings of the original version of the song, only to be found in the first editions of the score.
(1) The Tuesday, January 21, 1919 Times of London (page 12) reports Eli Hudson died at Millbank Hospital in London from an internal complaint (a few months after WWI).

Behind the Scenes at the Ure Museum, with Amy Smith
In the fourth interview recorded during this year's Classical Association CC's Anastasia Bakogianni talks with Dr Amy Smith, a member of the Classics Department at the University of Reading which hosted this year's meeting. This interview and the one with Dr Sonya Nevin that follows were recorded on the premises of the Ure Museum, with Amy's kind permission in her capacity as the Museum's curator. CC gratefully acknowledges its debt to Dr Smith and the Classics Department at the University of Reading for allowing us to film on location!
In this interview Amy talks about the Ure Museum's long history, its early days and the excavation work of Percy Neville Ure, the University's first Professor of Classics, and the museum's development over the years. She also speaks about some of the current collaborations that the Ure is involved in with local schools in Reading and the British Museum.
In the second part of the interview Amy talks about her love for the iconography of the classical world and her engagement with digital classics. Lastly Amy tells us about a recent volume she co-edited with Sadie Pickup: Brill's Companion to Aphrodite. The idea for the book arose when a headless statue of Aphrodite was chosen as the item on loan from the British Museum that would be displayed in the Ure Museum; thus we return full circle back to the museum at the heart of the Classics Department at Reading.
