As it says.. The speed of the recording has been slowed down to hear the subtle vibration, thus creating a chord.. It's amazing in it's self, but I have no clue if it really does happen.

No idea. Maybe YouTube can tell us.

The cricket choir is very cool. Have a look at this. Screenshot of a solar bottle bulb from the video below. Image credit: Isang Litrong Liwanag
As simple as it sounds, a one-liter plastic bottle filled with purified water and some bleach could serve as a light bulb for some of the millions of people who live without electricity. Originally developed by MIT students, the "solar bottle bulb" is now being distributed by the MyShelter Foundation to homes throughout the Philippines. The foundation’s goal is to use this alternative source of daylight to brighten one million homes in the country by 2012.

OMG! That cricket song makes me want to hug the earth and cry! Holy smores! Who knew!? I posted it to Google+ MIT didn't invent that. A poor man in a third world country invented it. I saw it on YouTube about a year ago. I should make one and put it on the shed. (Not the man in the video, it was a different man who invented it. I think in Mexico.)

Oh, that viddy made me cry. Isang Litro Liwanag means a Litre of light. And they live in slum called Sitio Maligaya which means City of Joy. Im going to donate now. SNiff. I remember my ma said granma used to say that when she wuz a young girl, they would go to bed around 7PM becuz it wuz so dark, there wuz nothing to do. Although sometimes they could scrounge enough candles for maj-jong.
