Synchronized Knuckle Cracking
Ever wondered what it would sound like if a few thousand people cracked their knuckles at the same time? And in a room with good acoustics?
Well, here it is.
As a fan of knuckle cracking, I approve.
By the way, did you know that it is completely unsubstantiated that knuckle cracking can have ill effects, such as arthritis?
In fact, a certain Dr. Donald L. Unger of Thousand Oaks, California, USA, received a Medicine Ig Nobel prize in 2009 for his 1998 paper titled "Does knuckle cracking lead to arthritis of the fingers?".
In it, he investigated a possible cause of arthritis of the fingers, by diligently cracking the knuckles of his left hand — but never cracking the knuckles of his right hand — every day for more than sixty (60) years. He found none.
Now, that's devotion.

Girl Voice
Actor Matt Bittner does a really good girl voice (and I'm sure he's a good actor too, but that is not the subject of this post).
His friend Ryan Clark recorded him doing the girl voice and uploaded it on Youtube (apparently against his wishes).
It (fairly) rapidly went viral (2.5 million views in three days).
So here's Matt having another go at it, while forgiving his friend for uploading it on Youtube.
Very impressive.
One might suspect that he could be lip-syncing to a real woman's voice (albeit perfectly), but he looks like a stand up guy, so I choose to believe.

Go Ahead. Knock yourself out...!
An anaesthesiologist lets the patient (prepped for knee surgery)... anaesthetize himself.
Oh shiiii... Yap, my thoughts exactly.
Although I know this is absolutely necessary and controlled, I still can't help not feeling a bit unnerved by it.

Stuff of Nightmares
The Screaming Sheep Trilogy
Seems legit.
No, seriously, I truly reckon it seems legit.
It could be some sort of mutation.
Or yes, it could be dubbed over.
I don't know.
