2. Roadrunner commented 10 years ago on video Dust Devil with Tumbleweeds helps spread a grass fire in Colorado
That's not a tornado... it is a dust devil. But it is one of the best I have seen with all those tumbleweeds caught up in it fueling the fire.

That was definitely not 100mph... just watch the road markers and light posts going by.

4. Roadrunner commented 10 years ago on video Homeless Pizza Party Prank!!
I think it was great that they made so many people happy that are down on their luck but... why didn't they just order and pay for the pizzas while the place was still open?

This new one is longer and a little better quality though.

What #1 said is the line that was used after the credits at the end of certain American tv shows back in the 80s. I don't think it was supposed to be what was said in the video.

At my age, I saw way too many tv shows in the 80s.

The guy may be lucky but I suspect his underwear wasn't!

#15 LOL... no I get it. But when I see what looks like 15 dollars for a hospital stay, I had to say something! I had forgotten how different we all sometimes write the same thing.

#13 Well in this example I think it is more likely a hospital stay will incur charges in the multiple thousands... not $25. So if you want to write American dollars, the decimal would need to go 3 places to the right.

#10 You need to move the decimal point 3 places to the right. It was 792,000 Thai Baht.

11. Roadrunner commented 11 years ago on video How to chop wood like butter
Nice invention but I wonder how efficient it would be with splitting wood that has knots. The wood in the video appears to have no knots and the grain is very straight.

#6 I think George Carlin had a good way of explaining a "near miss" in one of his acts.

13. Roadrunner commented 11 years ago on video Bridge being demolished
#1 Marble Falls, Texas... which is near Austin, TX.
#3 The steel bridge fell into the river. What is left standing is one of the replacement bridges that was behind it. The blast knocked out phone service for most of the day.
More info and a video zoomed in closer with slow motion:

#4 Exactly! If I just walked from the camera over to those windows in socks I can guarantee that I would have a toothpick-sized splinter in my foot!

I wouldn't want a balloon animal from this guy... especially when he comes out of the bathroom after a performance!

Wasn't he the son in The Incredibles?

All too often my response to each clip was a quote from Red Foreman (That 70's Show)... "Dumbass!"

#3 Slow here as well on the east coast of the US. My results vary depending on time of day but I have no slowness on any other sites with video. It happens for me at home and from work so I doubt it is my PCs.

19. Roadrunner commented 11 years ago on video How Hot Can It Get?
He actually makes a minor error at the 1:10 mark when he states that the hottest temp on earth was 129F. I had just read an article that it got up to 134F (56.67C) back in 1913 in Death Valley. It is just a few degrees but when talking records, that counts. Read more at this link:

#1 I guess you never saw the movie Cast Away with Tom Hanks.

21. Roadrunner commented 12 years ago on video Cops Chase Failure!
The audio on this sounds more like it was someone using a camera to take a video from a TV. It sounds like it is in a tunnel. Is the one laughing the cameraman following the cops or the person filming the TV show?

I was waiting for the frog to break out the top hat and cane. Anyone remember Michigan J. Frog? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRnX4quv5W4

#27 I totally agree. If they want to ride on roads with cars, make them pay a bike tax including get the bike inspected and have tags. Until then, they are riding a toy on the road with a death wish. They can write it on their tombstone, "But *they* said I can ride my bike in traffic." Morons.
And as far as riding a bike all the time to work etc... who would want to have the coworker show up in the cubicle next to them every day stinking from sweat for the entire shift? Most people are unable to live close enough to their jobs to make riding a bike viable.

Not a fake, you can see the same guy do the same trick at another event as one of the "Flying W's."
