Testing how well Google finds Facebook

Sorry to the adoring fans (hi Mom!) who find this post redundant. I'm using it to see how good Google is at finding a recent public post on Facebook discussing a video of Foucault's pendulum at the Musee des Arts et Metiers in Paris, where we went on Saturday. Also, if anybody wants a value-add, here's a bonus selenium-tone version of the same Foucault's pendulum video that I created with the new Lightroom 4 beta. The latter link goes directly to YouTube, by the way, whereas the first is only a link to a Facebook post that itself links to a YouTube video.

Sorry for all the highlighted hyperlink text, guys. You're all just guinea pigs in one giant experiment I'm running!

Drawing of Pan et Oursons, Musee D'Orsay

Levi's drawing of Pan et Oursons, by Emmannuel Fremiet, 1867, at the Musee D'Orsay. At left is Pan the satyr, lying on his belly and watching two bear cub (the second one is behind the first and has a very thin head).
