After spending about 20 minutes on that site, I still have to say that the worst sound in the world is turning the keys to start your car, when you've already started it!
About 30 seconds into this, I was thinking, "this guy's good, but Michael Moschen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Moschen) is still the *god* of this." It's been 15+ years since I saw Moschen (on Great Performances), but I suspect this guy's pretty much on par with him. Oh, back then, jugglers I knew called this "ball manipulation." Heh.
If you can get your hands on it, that Great Performances is *awesome*.
Apparently there's a hypothesis that it's not a horse at all but a cat instead. See the 'whiskers'? I wanna say that I read some years ago in the Fortean Times that some sort of geo-(thermal?) imaging made it look like the face was once shaped differently, and something like whiskers more pronounced.
The white horse is also semi-famously used on the cover of XTC's English Settlement album.
Finally, isn't it odd how the lines for the horse and for the cave paintings at Lascaux and Altamira are so stylized? They're neither really primitive stick figures nor an attempt at photorealism, but rather abstracted, which would seem to imply a fairly mature artistic talent in these disparate locations, wouldn't it?
