Striker Murdock shared this video with me recently and I was pretty impressed by it. I’ve done some searching on the internet to try to figure out if anyone has come forward and said this isn’t true, but i can’t find anything.
If you are a fan of tool or music at all take 9:24 of your life and check out this video clip done to Tool’s Lateralus. It is Dark Side of the Moon/Wizard of Oz type crazy stuff.
Again thanks to Murdock for bringing this to my attention.
There is some jargon in here that I’ve never heard. Great melody though.
This happened to me the other day.
How did this escape the ZC world?
I’ve copied this directly from CNN…but you can read it on their site by clicking on this terribly long link.
CNN) — A passerby pushed a would-be suicide jumper off a bridge in southern China because he was angry at the jumper’s “selfish activity,” Chinese media reported Saturday.
It happened Thursday in the city of Guangzhou as Chen Fuchao threatened to jump off Haizhu Bridge, China’s Xinhua news agency reported.
The bridge has gained a “macabre” reputation with 11 jumpers having thrown themselves off the bridge since the start of April, Xinhua said.
Traffic was held up for nearly five hours and a crowd gathered as Chen sat on the bridge, threatening to jump, Xinhua reported.
Chen wanted to kill himself because he had 2 million yuan ($294,000) in debt after a failed construction project, Xinhua reported.
Lian Jiansheng, 66, who was passing by the bridge, offered to talk Chen down, Xinhua said. Police refused, but Lian broke through the police cordon and climbed to where Chen was sitting.
Lian greeted Chen with a handshake, then pushed him off the bridge, Xinhua said.
Chen fell 26 feet (8 meters) onto a partially-inflated emergency air cushion, damaging his spine and elbow in the fall, Xinhua said. He is now recovering in a hospital.
A photographer documented the sequence of events. The photographs show Lian, dressed in a T-shirt, shorts and socks, saluting to the crowd after pushing Chen off.
“I pushed him off because jumpers like Chen are very selfish. Their action violates a lot of public interest,” Lian told Xinhua. “They do not really dare to kill themselves. Instead, they just want to raise the relevant government authorities’ attention to their appeals.”
Police took Lian away after the incident, Xinhua said. It did not say whether he would face any charges.
Nice. Come to find that there’s some video of this, too. I haven’t listened to the audio, but the images are pretty clear of what happened
’nuff said…
Let me start by saying this. This was a match-up of epic proportions. Right out of the gate, they both go to the ground MMA style…but soon they both realize that it would just be a stalemate all night. So they both stand up and give it their all in what is sure to go down in history as one of the greatest battles between man and primate. Enjoy.
After further review…based on that perfect 10 belly flop at the end I might have to say that Fatty took a dive on this one.
Many parents out there I’m sure want a long lasting bond with their children. Most go about it by forming memories that they will share to help form that bond. Eugene Ashley (24) of Floyd County GA decided that he wanted his bond to go skin deep. As in a tattoo on his 3 year old toddler’s back shoulder that said simply: “DB”
DB stands for “Daddy’s Boy”. I guess he wanted to make sure his son knew who the boss was for the rest of his life. The mother was not home at the time of action and Eugene has since been taken into custody for child cruelty when an unidentified person contacted the Department of Family and Child Services.
The AJC has the story here for those interested in more details, but the real question is who in the world does this to people? We have laws that say people can’t drink, smoke or drive until a certain age why not make some more efforts to help stop ignorant people from breeding? Lets stop wasting money sending undercover officers into bars or going after pot smokers and lets spend some cash stopping stupid people from breeding. I’m talking about some REAL UNDERCOVER action. I want to see swat teams busting into people’s bedrooms with chastity belts and putting an end to this epidemic sweeping the nation.
I mean if as a society we are going to concede that some people are not able to make decisions for themselves lets help them not make the worst decision in the world. To breed and bring someone into this world they are not capable of making good decisions for.
For those not aware Floyd County is up by Rome GA.
As you all know I was very exited about getting a chance to re-visit my glory days of gaming this weekend and tearing into Wii Punch-Out!! After dealing with some advertising problems, I took Hanzo’s advice to rent the game this weekend, and then possibly buy it on Amazon, which would get me at the retail price of $49.99 for the combined price, but if I didn’t like it, I’d only be out the rental fee.
Well, as I’ve heard a good bit of you also played this weekend, the game is definately worth a play.
I started up in “career” mode, which is the same game play you’ll remember from the original MTPO game for NES. Here, you play as Little Mac fighting his way through three circuits of fighters to become the heavyweight champion of the world. There are 13 fighters you need to get past. Many are familiar old faces. And some are knew. I never played “Super Punch Out,” so Bear Hugger and Aran Ryan were new foes for me to face…and the game also features a new fighter in the Disco Kid. According to NintendoLife.com, there is also a mysterious 14th fighter you can get to, but I didn’t make it that far. Apparently after you win the title, you go back and face all of the fighters again to defend your title. But this time, they have learned from your previous beat down and present a whole new set of challenges.
The game play is pretty much the same as it was before. You can opt to use the Wii-mote like the original NES controller to play, or you can hook up a nunchuck and swing away as you fight. I opted for the nunchuck method and found it pretty entertaining and intuitive to use. You apparently can also use the balance board to dodge punches, but I didn’t have time to test this functionality.
Most of the fighters have the same fighting styles as before, so you’ll easily fall into form as you face off Glass Joe or Don Flamingo. Some of them have gotten a bit better…like Great Tiger (that Indian Dude that teleports)…He’s a beast.
Also, I found that some of the trick punches I used to use against players weren’t quite working like they used to. I got creamed by Bald Bull by trying to punch him in the stomach during his bull charge. Perhaps my timing is off?
One definate change in the game play is that now you can continue to progress in Career mode no matter how many losses you incur. In the original MTPO, if you lost, you got a couple of rematches, and then were sent packing down the ranks to fight your way back to the opponent that you couldn’t beat. This is not the case in the Wii reboot. I’m not saying that I’m complaining, but I ended up squaring off against Super Macho Man with a record of 11-30. Yeah, I got whipped 30 times. What?
Speaking of getting whipped 30 times, it wasn’t until after I was whipped 27 times that I realized once you beat an opponent and unlock the next, you can go to practice mode and fight holograms of the fighters for practice. This will help you learn more about how to attack them before officially stepping into the ring against them, and destroying your record like I did.
All in all, this game rocks. I won’t have a chance to play it again before I have to return it to the rental store, but I’ll definately be making another title charge after I pick it up from AMAZON over the next week or so.
