How can you make the slinky even more fun? Just add human! Behold the strangest sight you'll probably see today, Romanian performer Ioan Veniamin Oprea, better known as the Human Slinky.

Really, Alex? You deleted my comment and left Eric's? I just said it was nothing new, and I said not to have your volume up too loud. I've just seen this done better. The illusion of it not being a slinky is ruined, maybe by the camera angle itself and not the performance. I think that's pretty constructive.

@ted - I didn't delete your comment. I looked at the comment history and didn't find yours. Probably a bug or a server issue (we had a crash recently). Sorry about that.
