End of Term Youtube Extravaganza, Once Again

As always, here at the end of the term, we turn to fun rather than work. I offer up this latest crop of interesting clips from youtube, and will see you again at the start of the new term. Enjoy the break!

1. Epic Extreme Skiing: This is a clip of some skiing neither you nor I would ever consider doing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNTX55Rpk8w

2. Banana Joe: I just watched both days of the Westminster Dog Show, and on the first day, in the Toy group, I predicted this dog would win, since he simply owned the arena when he did his walk: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lelakXKfITc

3. Insane Baseball Skill: I have the sense this one is either gamed or manipulated, but it is pretty cool nonetheless: l http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dlwvK2Ix58

4. Best Pool Trick Shot Ever; Yes, it really is, Amazing!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsBBW4bYZXA

5. Ricky Jay: One of the best playing card manipulators who has ever lived. There are no tricks here; this is how good he is at what he does. Do not ever play poker with him.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWvRorX0KhQ

6. Red Bull Rampage; You have to be out of your mind to ride a bike down the routes you see here.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbF6ZZqVMyk

7. Bigfoot: Guilty pleasure for me is watching the TV show “Finding Bigfoot,” with its inept scientists and silly explanations. But here is one of the clips that drive people nuts. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFL7Hp351lw

8. The Hillary Step: The last hard part of getting up, and then getting back down, Mount Everest.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKq-3H04SkQ

9. Magma- Best band in the universe, with the greatest drummer you never heard of, Plus, Zab, Stella dn Himiko: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShPIetLInoQ

9. Laughing Baby: Always leave ’em laughing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RP4abiHdQpc
