Badger, Badger, Badger (Wikipedia)

badger badger badger, originally uploaded by Gimpi

I've talked about Badger, Badger, Badger before - what? You've never head of the awesome flash video Badger, Badger, Badger, before?

Go - check it out and come back.

OK... you back?

Badger, Badger, Badger isn't what I want to talk about, at all.

What I want to talk about how hilarious WikiPedia's Badger, Badger, Badger article is. To whit:

There is some contention that rather than "Badger" the words are actually "Badgers", plural. However, the most common belief is that "Badger" is in the singular. (It is also possible that the song switches between the two.) Stanzas 2—4 contain only eleven repetitions of "Badger" rather than the regular twelve due to a beat being skipped between the mushroom scene and the badger scene. The sound between the beats is thought to be either an intake of breath or the indefinite article "a".

The audio doesn't match up exactly with the visuals. This becomes plainly discernible after 30 minutes of continuous playing. At this point, the audio is at the twelfth "badger" in the first line while the visuals show the mushroom. Over the next few hours, the visuals continue to play faster than the audio, achieving maximum separation at 4 hours 12 minutes. Thereafter the gap begins to close, and becomes synchronized again at about 8 hours 30 minutes. This process continues cyclically.
emphasis added

I want to know who exactly could watch Badger, Badger, Badger for 4 hours 12 minutes to ascertain maximum separation, much less the 8 hours 30 minutes to see the resynchronization.

I salute you fine gentleman for wasting over 8 hours of your life in pursuit of Badger, Badger, Badger trivia!
