Train vs. Tornado

Well, let's see, it's a little less than a can of soda. Which makes it about 300mls. Which makes it about a third of a bottle, maybe a little less.

AZ: The Earth is 6,000 years old

Video: Sour
The band picked several of their fans to participate in what had to be a nightmare to choreograph and edit. It's a great example of doing more with less on an otherwise average pop song. In this case, each person only had a webcam and a digital camera for some of the scenes.
This is nuts.

123456789 Day: Big moment comes at 12:34:56 on 7/08/09
For the digitally inclined, Wednesday marks a cool spot in sequential history. At exactly 12:34:56, the time and date will be 12:34:56 7/08/09. That only happens once – or twice – every 100 years, so for some, it's worth celebrating.
