I may never understand the thrill of putting something attached to my body in an alligator's mouth. Some people's kids...

It's legit. I've seen it done as well, though my cousin took a little longer to get it done, he did the whole thing blind folded. There are actually competitions for solving 3x3, 4x4 and even bigger cubes than this one.

The video just gets better as it goes on. It starts with a decent board trick, then goes to an awesome moon walk and finishes with a good laugh. Short and to the point. I like it.

I think I'm pretty nit-picky tonight, but there's only ONE Solar System in the universe. There are billions, trillions even, of systems, but ours is called "The Solar System" because our star's name is Sol. This would then be "The HD10180 System."

I've got to say it. If something is worth saying, PLEASE try to say it right.

Their, they're and there -- They are NOT the same. I can understand people who aren't native speakers getting them confused, though they get it right more often than not, but the rest of us, COME ON! English is a great language. It's got tons of imperfections in it, but when you understand it AND other languages you can gain a much greater appreciation for it. It's one of the more descriptive and creative ones out there. Show some self-respect and learn to speak it well...or at least better.

Good performance. Cute girl. The video's editing could use work though, not many scenes were completely there, and almost every single one was cut short, most of them dreadfully so. This is to showcase Alison's ability, it's not to show off the music or editing.

Pointers for everyone who makes a video:

1) Make the edits as clean and smooth as possible. Your objective is to allow people to enjoy watching your video, that's how you'll get it around. MAKE IT WATCHABLE.

2) Don't cut the individual clips too short or too long. Realize that when you're staring at the same video several views in a row it's tough to decide where to make the snip. Cut them all three or four frames longer than you think you should, then go back through and watch the entire piece. Decide which of them are actually too long and which ones aren't long enough at that point. I'm not saying LEAVE them long, I'm saying:

3) Make sure you show all of the action, but not boringly so.

4) Always have someone else say "yea" or "nay" to it before you publish your work. If you get negative feedback on your newly created video, at least take it into consideration before throwing it out on the internet.

5) Take pride in your work. I don't expect cool transitions and great cinematography, just something that flows and doesn't leave me wondering what it was I just saw.

And lastly

6) Save artsy editing for an artsy video.

Sorry to be long winded, but I get tired of seeing people's talents robbed by poor video creation.

Was it the steering wheel that got stuck or the driver being on the phone and was so intent on the speed that he wasn't watching where the other driver went? It looks like the tow rope stays pretty tight through the turn, so I don't know how it would have become tangled around a wheel. What would cause the steering to lock up like that if the key's in the ignition and turned?

Hehehe...it was good to see this one again. I showed everyone I know this one. It circled the internet about 6 or 7 years ago. It's nice to see some of the good videos come out of the closet from time to time. Thanks uploader.

And why should wheelchair bound people not be able to ride their own version of a motorcycle? I watch the motorcycle videos like this and no one complains about them being too stupid. Props to this guy.

Guys, meteors are pretty cool. The thing I don't get is why everyone makes like it's the end of the world. These things are always coming in, space is not empty, there's all sorts of stuff out there still. Ever heard of meteor showers? They happen often, as in once or twice a year as the earth moves through clouds of debris. The only one we've really got to worry about for the time being is Apophis...and it's a way out there, and it is highly unlikely that it'll strike the earth.

Good video capture!

I enjoy games as much as the next guy, and I have to agree with this. I've never been into the MMORPGs. This was well presented, done without pushing criticism from an outsider with bad/no real information.

It's nice to see more and more people getting to the point of receiving no pleasure from games and not looking for a new game, but a real form of pleasure.

Just sayin'.

Sounds pretty good

You can see more of his lectures on PBS's Nova Now and you can also see full lectures on fora.tv.

He's a great guy.

He's been trained to ask the questions that he needs to get the right spelling. Is it truly annoying to ask for clarification or explanation when someone asks you to do something on the spot? If so, pardon all of us who've ever uttered "what?" in a conversation.

Home schooling does not necessarily equate to a lack of social skills, I know plenty of home taught kids who are a lot better at social interaction than most of you from the posts I read frequently.

Give the kid a break. I'm surprised at you who tout him as an idiot or retard, He's still growing into himself, let him.

Amen #(removed comment).

Snotr's had a couple more good videos lately, this being one of them. Thank you for that. Keep submitting these things. It's nice to have more than pranks or "epic fails" on here again.

Personally, I think that those of you that want the health care bill as it's been drafted by the Democrats and Obama to pass, need to read it a little more closely and think about what these changes will make for us in the future. How many people here have really truly read the whole bill? I surely haven't. I've read a lot of parts of it, and what I've read I really haven't liked a whole lot at all. I welcome others' opinions, and am willing to look at things from their perspective, but this one is really bad.

I'll probably get voted down on this comment, but I wanted you to know my feelings on it. We could all use a little more inquisitiveness. Go read the bill if you want to know the truth of it.

I used to think that only idiots wrote like this, but after meeting my little brother's friends and reading some of his e-mails from them...it's true. There are entire pages made of a single run-on sentence. The sad thing is that there is no punctuation at all, the spelling is terrible and the thoughts are completely jumbled.

The letter would be pretty boring to read yourself, but the reading was masterfully done.

Funny that that explosion turned the lights back on for him huh? and that the aluminum foil wasn't shredded and blown all over, just opened up like an egg

DAASH, you made it a waste of your time if you took the time to watch it. Someone else went out and rode a bike around a town, giving fives and then made a creative movie. Are you REALLY going to complain about them wasting YOUR precious time sitting in front of a computer screen to watch it? That is a small life you live my friend, a small life.

Movie was a good idea, execution wasn't great. Would be fun to do.

#(removed comment), are you REALLY dissing Shellac? A French polish looks good when it's done right, even if you can get a better shine with newer methods. But you also need to understand that before Shellac, there was nothing else to use as lacquer and polyurethane weren't invented until recently. You only polish after the thing is finished. The reason that we have grammatic rules is to communicate. It took a while to work my way through your post, please try using a period every now and again. It's located just to the right of the comma you like to use.

sometimes people's circulation gets thrown off if they lock their knees for a while and when they move it knocks them out, or maybe she was low on sleep or any number of things. I kinda doubt it was drugs, but who knows.

Sadly, it's true. The animation was well done, but the story---it stinks.

It must work...who on earth would pay to go stick their tongue out at a mirror or make angry faces for an hour and then not claim that it was working wonders for them?

The skin gets wrinkled as it gets stretched and worked...it's not the muscles that are starting to sag. At least that's my understanding. You're getting older. You're GOING to get some lines. Be happy about it and keep living, not trying to cover up the fact that you've lived.

I'm done now.

it is true....I never post, but I hop on about once a week to see what the weekend plan is.

#12, they've done the research and they've got the thing tuned well enough that if you use the saw to cut wood just like it's meant to be done effectively and safely, you'll not run into any problems. We've got two of these (the cabinet model) in our shop and I love them. Not only are they safer, but they run better, are more accurate and are designed better than a lot of table saws I've used. We have had to replace the cartridges in both saws a couple of times due to tired/in-attentive people putting their fingers where they shouldn't be, but I tell you what, a $60 cart and a $75 blade are worth the finger and then some.

It scares the crap out of me when the thing goes off...it's not a pretty sound.

You know what...I really like the very end of the clip. I don't think that I've actually seen that many players in the NFL get up, say "good hit" and run back to do it again. Seems like football is all about how much recognition can I get and how can I try to force this into a penalty on the other guy. I like good sportsmanship. The fact that these two got up and sort of congratulate the other in a simple way looks good. I hope this will start to happen in more than just scripted commercials now.

10, there is a rating system...right above the video you'll see a two little red and green thumbs. Use 'em. The overall rating is to the right of the video.

#6, #5 asked if a conductive grid or metal on the target's body would allow the electricity another less resistive path to follow. Electricity always follows the path of least resistance. The Taser doesn't cause a short, it completes a circut from the battery, through the wires, and back to the taser where the electricity is being pulled to. Completing a circut is intentional while a short causes electrons to flow in a path not intended. This would be the metal path the target is wearing. While it is probable that some electrons WOULD flow through the target's body, it could render the taser ineffective as it would no longer completely incapacitate the target.

Granko's comment was just fine. He doesn't say that the 5 second reference was in this video. Your comment on the other hand is just a little too cocky. If you disagree with someone's comment, please do it with grace and respect--not hostility. Thank you.

I hear you Woll.

I'd just like to say that I'm glad we got this minorly important safety issue resolved BEFORE we got a higher ratio of morons to real people into government. The last 50 years we've just been sliding on down hill with American Leadership. It stinks to recognize our faults.

Here's a question, why do stop signs not only have the red field and the bit white "STOP", but also have a white outline on 'em? What purpose does that outline serve? Granted, it's asthetically pleasing, but reason behind it? I'm interested in your thoughts on the subject.

Regardless of whether the boarder is in fact stupid (1. lacking ordinary quickness and keenness of mind; dull.
2. characterized by or proceeding from mental dullness; foolish; senseless) Darwin DOES indeed have him high on his list. How many people have died after uttering the famed phrases "Hey, I've got an idea" or "Hey guys, watch this...?"

This was a real dust storm, I don't know if it really was in AU or not, but the thing's real enough.

"Real" means genuine. A "reel" is used for a spool of film or a spool of line on a fishing rod.

Woll's right...not very good at all...first bit is the only good one.

The black plastic things hold the balls in thier "goals" while you work with another colored ball. Looks pretty cool.

Look at it this way....you can pay 5 men $80,000/year + great benefits and an expensive mill to do this for 20 year, or you can pay one man and buy a $300,000 tool to do the job for 20 years. Even if we calculate in a $10,000/year maintenance on the machine it's a LOT less expensive. This means:

5 men * $80,000 * 20 years + $2,000/man/year in benefits = $8,200,000 + mill and machine costs

OR

1 man * $80,000 * 20 years + $2,000/man/year in benefits + $300,000 machine + $10,000/year maintenance =
$2,100,040

$8,200,000 vs. $2,100,040? Which would you pay?

If you're looking at this from the perspective of "Save the trees" good for you. It's good to conserve. US data shows that more trees are planted AND cared for than are cut down yearly. in 50 or 100 years, there'll be MORE trees than there were 50 or 100 years ago. Just chew on that a while and then tell me why it's a waste please. I'm not arguing...just presenting one side of te issue.

You could do it...but it was certainly staged if they did do it just like the video suggests. The problems you run into are making the box and mechanics to handle the electricity that's actually going to each room, having lights on in each room, no delay with the flourecent lights (there's always a delay in one fixture or another) and the wireless antena that works from about 1/2 mile through to the multi-level basement where the electric is most likely at among others. It would be painstaking to wire into the main breaker box, which is where you'd have to do it, where the mains come into the building and get seperated into the rooms' individual lines. Cool concept though. One other thing is, what are the odds of having a building with that many rooms and not a single one has its blinds or curtains closed or something blocking the window?

It'd be pretty cool to see this happen. Imagine writing a letter on someone's building for Valentine's Day.

The US is the same as Mr. England's up there..."cock-a-doodle-doo". Though after raising them, I think it's more of a "It's-three-in-the-freaking-morning-and-if-I-can't-sleep-then-you're-not-going-to-EITHER!!!"

The problem is that the "power" of the police is the power that the citizens have given. The police have as much power as we allow them to have by creating laws. The problem is that FAR to often the system doesn't work due to cops taking "justice" into their own hands. Normal procedure, yes, correct procedure, no. Not a chance. Anytime the police stop you or invade your property or home they are REQUIRED BY LAW to give reason. That comes in the form of a written statement, whether it be a ticket or warning when you're pulled over, or a warrent if they come to search for something. Far to often the rights of the citizen are trampled by people who get hot headed in the situation. Adrenaline works, but don't we pay these guys to overcome that and think clearly? While a tazer is a lot better than taking a gun to the driver and passenger, I really saw no call for it. Just cuff the guy. Even if he resists.

This is right up there with the cops dumping people out of wheelchairs to make sure that they really can't walk. I'm not being critical of all police, I've been pulled over my fair share and there are some that are polite, but authoritative, and others who are just in a perpetual bad mood.

There's my two cents. Take them as you will.

I chuckled.

This is fun. Improv Everywhere does stuff like this all the time, and they do a bang-up job of it. I don't know if they're the originators or not, but they do it very well. improveverywhere.com. Good fun.

Let's see your video demiurgo. Surely you can't talk crap without giving up some evidence?

I'm not a woman, but I've seen some of the boys around here doing far worse. One kid riding a bike through the snow in swim trunks, fell over and got some slightly painful lacerations in uncomfortable spots. as for the video, most of these are kids, hardly any women in this video at all. Let's not be sexist.

Better Intel than AMD. AMD's been playing keep up for years...and the innovation and financing just isn't there. It'd be nice to get some better competition. But we'll just have to wait til they catch up.

It's kinda like those boys who walk through cafeterias at school being stupid, trip and have no other thought than to run away screaming, if you know what I mean.

My understanding is that EMO is someone who wears their emotions on the outside rather the inside. Usually refers to boys and is somewhere between punk and gay. At least that's what it looks like where I'm at. I'm a little out of touch with that crowd though so somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

#3 & #5, ordinary simple happy women are MUCH more attractive than the high strung "beautiful" ones. Personality is great, looks are only skin deep as they say.

To be fair we all start somewhere don't we? Hope he didn't give up after this. He'll get better with time.

It could just be that it was a K-9 cop that found this idiot mowing the street.

Cool vid.
Good use of images.
Good use of cool toys.
Excellent use of Electronics.
Okay use of a woman's looks.


Anyone care to translate "Wir hassen teuer"? I do English and Spanish, but no German yet.

That's wild. A new language in a week? Wow. Could be done with dedication and study I suppose. It almost sounds like he's got a near photographic memory and uses images to catalog memories. The mind is amazing. I wonder how he is in social situations though.

I want to see him drift in that thing.

I've seen him before, but I can't remember what his name is....He had a couple of episodes on tv as well playing with people's minds. Anyone know his name?

That kinda stinks. Wonder who's fault that was.

the strobe is set so that it catches the movement in a patern that looks like it's in reverse...like when you look at a car's wheels as it accelerates and they appear to slow, and then go in reverse. This is caused by looking at "skipped frames".

He's super lucky that the potato was in pieces when it left the barrel. We grew potatoes for years and potato guns are fun, but you could kill someone with one of those if you're not careful.

Gotta love the Simpsons

It's only 1/2 fake...that's real video, but the car in the circle wasn't a cop. It was a guy that I believe had robbed a bank. The bike and lights on the car were put in later. Kinda fun though...way to use your resources

In the USA we've got a song to that melody called Yankee Doodle. As for what language that was, I'll bow to someone else's superior knowledge. Those guys are pretty crazy. The scarrier thing is that I don't think they were drunk; if they had been, how would they have climbed to the top in the first place without having fallen?

Alright, funny as this sounds, KFC is NOT from Kentucky. The original one is on 3900 S. and State St. in Salt Lake City, Utah. I think that the original recipe might be from KY, but the restaurant chain is not.

Secondly: yeah, it could be that some Americans aren't necessarily the brightest...but on the other hand, how many times have you tried to get directions from a European to get somewhere in his or her own city? I've asked for a bit of help in several places, and a lot of the time, I get sent on a wild goose chase. Not saying they're stupid, but as HUMANS, there are a lot of things that we miss. Give the US a chance guys. It's not all that bad.

Just for future reference, PLEASE read what you're posting before you hit "Post Comment." It doesn't take that long, and slang really isn't all that cool. Try to be communicative, not impressive…please.

Thanks.
