Parkour Noob
Well, not everyone can run and jump around like ninjas. Here's a video clip of why you shouldn't exactly try do parkour if you're not physically coordinated.

The Slingshot Man
Don't pick a fight with Rufus Hussey, The Beanshooter Man, at least when he's armed with a slingshot - he is absolutely terrifyingly awesome with it.

How to Steal a Car with Beer Cans
Yes, it's probably a staged footage, but it's conceivable ... and pretty clever for a criminal!

How to Disarm a Crazy Samurai Sword Wielding Man
Not all policemen resort to lethal force, guns or tasers to disarm a crazy samurai sword wielding man. Sometimes, all you need is ... a broom! (Of course, this is Germany, in the United States, they would've just shot the guy's b*tt off!)

Young Drew Carey on The Tonight Show
In 1991, a then 33-year-old Drew Carey performed for the first time on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. Back then, it was unusual for a comedian to be invited over to sit down with the master.

    Fall aside, that parkour kid just seemed to move very awkwardly. He wasnt doing anything too difficult for a beginner but he seems to have tried to move on to new things before he perfected his basic vaults and such. He seems very uncoordinated but I would not discourage him to give up as he doesnt seem very fit and parkour could be good for him.

    I thought it was funny when the narrator of the samurai video said that the sword wielder could have easily killed someone. Based on his skills versus a guy with a broom I dont think his sword skills were exactly up to par.

    I don’t know why all my comments lately are nit-picking, but Alex, it should be changed to katana-wielding man.

    Samurai-wielding man implies that the man is carrying around a samurai. Like he’s got a little japanese guy in full kendo gear on his back.

    ;)

    I would like to see a man wield a samurai. That seems like quite an accomplishment! Fixed now to read “samurai sword” (that good enough for you Jake D.?) :)

    When I was in college an e-mail was sent out saying that a car was stolen similarly to the beer can thing. But in the instance I heard about, the driver got in, started the car, began to back out of the space and noticed a flyer on the back window when they started in reverse. When they got out to get the flyer of the window, the thief would jump in the drivers seat and drive off.

    The moral of the story was, if you saw a flyer in your back window and your keys are in the ignition, just leave it and let the wind blow it off.

    For a comedian to be invited over to sit with Johnny Carson was Johnny’s way of giving high praise. Not everyone who preformed stand up on the show got the call: only those who were “good enough.”

    Christophe: I think the parkour kid was just being a goof, and accidentally hurt himself in the process of making himself goofy. Double Win in my book.

    Number three’s been a fear of mine for a while.
