Here's what happens when Improv Everywhere finds a four-foot tall ledge in Midtown Manhattan and decided to put a suicide jumper on it. A police officer, fireman, and the man’s wife and co-worker all arrive on the scene to talk him down. This is a newly remastered video from the project they did in 2005.
Hilarious.
I'm going to watch Daphne's 17-minute TED presentation for a second time. It's already helping me deal with my 16-year old's addiction ;)

Craftmanship, musicianship, videography...all come together at a very high level right here:

Check out the latest from the illusionist extraordinaire Brusspup. Here, he demonstrates that looks can be deceiving:
The technique is called anamorphosis -- the image is distorted and elongated so that it appears natural from a certain angle.
Brusspup adds to the illusion by placing the photo-realistic images alongside every day objects and then using video to reveal the perspective change in real time. A very cool video.
Please see it and rate it here on 12/2. After 12/2, find it in the Cool Site of the Day archive.
