2. acker commented 15 years ago on video Fastest gunman ever?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Munden_(shooter)
While Munden's abilities appear remarkable, there are a few tricks to the trade [...] For one, Munden does not use period correct firearms, holsters, or other hardware when demonstrating action shooting. [...]
Furthermore, the use of blanks creates the illusion of accuracy while fast drawing, when in fact just aiming a gun loaded with a blank cartridge in the general direction of a balloon (one of Munden's choice targets) at close range will destroy the target where a live round would likely miss. Firing blanks also means a very low recoil which in turn provides for a rapid succession of rounds to be fired, yet in real life applications would be pointless.

3. acker commented 15 years ago on video Crazy Truckers on European Highway
From youtube:
The Location is Novi Sad (Južna Ba?ka).
Explanation by dejanzec:
"These truck drivers have no option, they must drive in wrong direction. That road go through tunnel and than across a bridge(forbade for them) in town. And theat road is not a high way, it just 1km long. I live 5km from there, and I know. They are not crazy. That is cross-road in SERBIA, NOVI SAD (EXIT) "
It may be here: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=novi+sad,+serbia&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=55.543096,114.257812&ie=UTF8&ll=45.228586,19.860862&spn=0.003053,0.006974&t=h&z=18
or metacafe:
The Location is Novi Sad There were truck checks at some point ahead and they were arresting drivers bringing in goods without proper paper work. Other trucks sent a radio message to all these truckers, and i guess that guy in the yellow truck stopped the other one to warn him too.
or use your imagination

#(removed comment), acrylic wall paint probably.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1153004/Mind-crevasse-The-amazing-3D-pavement-art-pedestrians-edge.html contains also some huge creations, even better than this one (IMHO).

#12 Near Noah's Ark, yesterday. A big hole with a broken pipe?
Anyhow, I hate reporters that present a dangerous situation without taking any action. For example they say that a part of the drivewalk is slippery (covered with ice) but they keep on filming how people fall; and some get really hurt because they are old and their bones are fragile. (actually the cameraman films it, but anyhow).

#3, #6 "After the referee blows his whistle, which is the signal for the kick to be taken, the kicker must kick the ball in a forward direction (not necessarily at the goal, though this is almost always the case)"
