Hi Vikingstork,

Yes I am out here :-)

I'm sorry to read you are having trouble. However, I am able to see and play both this video and the turkey eggs one without a problem. Everything looks ok from this side. Maybe it has something to do with a setting or software on your side?

If you want to see the turkey eggs one and you are still having trouble watching it here you can try going to vimeo.com and seeing if you can watuch it there: http://vimeo.com/2289385

As to Twinkies vs Carrots, the twinkies are less expensive because it doesn't take long to 'grow' them. lol
