Would He Run?
Well-contrived prank from a Japanese "Candid Camera"-esque TV show. His running looks a lot like his walking, though the Samurai aren't exactly running 4.2 40s. (Thanks Rohan)

Step into my office
From what appears to be the Canadian show of this ilk, "Just For Laughs Gags", this one's sort of bizarre. Shot in Montreal, which might explain some things.

Education corner: Weird words that just don't translate
Here's a sampling from a new collection of words and phrases from around the world for which English has no direct counterpart. (For example, Poronkusema -- Finnish: the distance equal to how far a reindeer can travel without a comfort break.)

Stacked
Check out the world record holder at the WSSA World Sport Stacking Championships. (And yes, this appears to be a real, highly competitive hobby.) Rack 'em.

Friday joke: Understanding Scotland (Thanks AJUK)
At a recent U2 concert in Glasgow, Scotland, lead singer Bono asked the audience for total quiet. Then, in the silence, he started to slowly clap his hands, once every few seconds.
Holding the audience in total silence, he said into the microphone, "Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies."
A voice with a broad Scottish accent from the front of the crowd pierced the quiet... "Well, foockin' stop doin it then, ya evil bastard!"
