Possibly the best japanese game show, or any game show. A foam board with a shape cut out in it moves toward you. You have to fit through the shape or you get knocked into a pool of water. Unexpectedly hilarious. (From Melissa.)

Michel Lauziere performs “The Toreador Song” from Carmen on 300 some bottles, hitting them with sticks attached to his roller blades. Very cool and I never would have thought of doing it this way. (From Andy)

It had never rained (in recorded history going back to 1849) on July 18th in San Francisco until this past Wednesday:

San Francisco has the oldest consecutive rain record in California. Wednesday’s rain left July 7 and July 14 as the only days San Francisco has never recorded a measurable amount of rain, 0.01 inches or more.

Man, it’s so weird here….
