WHY! Click Me. (Go through all 5 pictures)
I'm kidding of course - I doubt I'll be able to contain how much fun I'm having to just myself. Which means I share it the only way I know how. Semi-annoymously through the internet. Woo hoo.

Tuba Virtuoso
Nerd Level: 9.3 out of 10
A lot of the time I'll claim to like classical music. The problem is, a good portion of the time I find typical classical music, like most, a horrid bore. Periodically though I will run across something new and unique that really perks my ears.
There is a method called lip multiphonic, which can allow a player to play two notes at once. Another way is to try to sing and play at the same time. This guy actually does all three - which leads to a sound that is hard to believe is coming out of one instrument. I love hearing the crowd laugh in disbelief.
On top of that, about 6 minutes in he turns his tuba into a beat box. It is hard enough to beat box with just your mouth/hands, but to do it through an instrument that has about 27 feet of pipe is another level of impressive.
..and to reiterate, the first 3 minutes is just him playing.
And for any musical doubters, here he is playing the Carnival of Venice (an obscenely hard piece for those not as nerdy as most).

Might as well make this a full blown DiRT advertisement too. 3 minutes of new footage of wrecks in DiRT - including them wrecking the exact car from my photo above (at 1 minute 30 seconds in).

Online comic relavance
Phil = Bryce Guitar Hero = Forza
..
Well, I'd play Guitar Hero if I had it.

Its hard to believe the administration can so blatantly lie and attempt to subvert the constitution; and still get away with it. Jon Stewart summarizes the latest two AG stories fairly well.

Nice to hear
We get to wallow in others ineptitude. A British judge, working an Internet Terrorist case is baffled by terms like "web site" and "forum".
So at least its not just our judges who are idiots
