Not being from the city, I don’t get to see street performers in person. But thanks to the wonders of online video, I can see awesome things such as this human helicopter trick from the comfort of my own home.

There’s not a lot to do in Yemen. They’ve got some sand, and some camels, and that’s about it. And so, camel jumping was born.
The rules of this crazy sport are simple. Yemen’s elite athletes run like mad, and then jump over the waiting camels. Now when you consider that camels stand up to two meters tall, that’s pretty impressive!

Jim Carrey and stupid funny go together like peanut butter and chocolate. Pet lovers everywhere, who have enough of a sense of humor to appreciate stupid funny, fell in love with the whacky pet detective, Ace Ventura, played by Jim Carrey of course.
What a great costume idea for this Halloween… pet detective and hilarious funny man! This well-played out skit puts a guy dressed up as Mr. Ventura greeting the children as the come to the door trick or treating.

What if the movie about the world’s most famous nanny, “Mary Poppins” was a horror flick? In the spirit of Halloween, I present to you a trailer remix of what this work of art would be like.
For those unfamiliar with “Mary Poppins,” this is likely to scare you more than the highly overrated “Blair Witch Project.” I don’t think I realized how inherently terrifying Mary was until I saw this.

Futureproof are one of the two groups of solo singers who were given another chance on The X Factor, the only difference being they had to become a group rather than performing as solo artists in their own right.
This video tells the story of how the whole coming together happened, with Louis Walsh coming up with the original idea, and then Simon Cowell embracing it after much persuading.

New technology has changed the world completely in the last two decades, and one field which has been changed drastically by this leap forward has been information storage.
When I was a kid doing a project at school, it required a trip to the school library and hours of lesson time to research and rewrite information on any subject or person.

What do you get when you cross two of the most redneckish things in the world? Tractor square dancing! Whoever came up with this had entirely too much time on his hands.
You’ve got to admit that something like this must take lots of practice, and a fair amount of skill. But it’s just about the most pointless thing I’ve ever seen. Aside from the Jumping Frog Jubilee, of course.

Ok, I just have to say, are you freggin’ kidding me!? Over three thousand people really showed up to watch a parade, a parade that apparently is so stealth, you can’t even see it.
Apparently the Ninja Parade that takes place annually since 1984 in Modesto, California is a big hit! And what’s more, the best part of the parade is watching and looking and never seeing… anything!

There’s an old joke that men only read Playboy for the articles. Picture readers aren’t quite so coy. They’ll proudly admit they buy it to look at the busty women inside and … well … you know.
Everybody does it, but it’s so difficult to say! That’s why we have the colorful euphemisms featured in this brilliant Picture ad. How many can you spot?

This is a very short clip from The IT Crowd, a technology related sitcom shown on Channel 4 in the UK which is currently being remade in the US.
The whole show is brilliant, but this particular clip is inspired. The ’sensible’ character in the IT department is Jen Barber, although she’s less techie, and more administrative than the other two main characters.
