I remember seeing this many many years ago, and now when I see it again, I still can't help but burst out laughing!
During what seems like an enjoyable sunny day in a swimming pool, the life guard on duty suddenly uses a loud hailer to ask everyone in the water to exit the pool, because he needs to go on a toilet break.
As weird as the request may seem, slowly but surely, the pool users exit the pool.
Then the silliest things happen; the lifeguard then steps into the pool till waist deep, and supposedly relieves himself right into the pool!
The rest of the pool users just watch in stunned amazement, not knowing whether to laugh or cry!
Wahaha....good one!

Michael, thank you for the joy you've brought to my life.
You'll always be my king.
You'll always be my king.
Jordan Jovtchev 2004 Athens Olympics Gymnastics Rings Routine
Jordan Jovtchev is indeed the proverbial "Lord of the Rings".
Well known for his immense strength and mind boggling routine in rings, Jordan wows us again during the 2004 Athens Olympics.
Can't help shaking my head every time he presses up to a swallow, or comes down to a cross.
Unbelievably strong, unfathomable excellence.

Alexei Nemov 2004 Athens Olympics High Bar Routine
Alexei Nemov has got to be one of the prodigies / geniuses of the gymnastics arena.
In this highly controversial high bar finals during the 2004 Athens Olympics, Alexei Nemov does a superb routine that not only the commentators know is incredible, but the roar of the crowd signals a guaranteed nod of approval.
But somehow, the judges ranked him a meagre 3rd, and the crowd shows no hesitation to let the judges know that they disapprove.
Nemov should have won the gold medal, despite the 1 foot misplacement during the landing.

Lessons from the Karate Kid's Mr. Miyagi
This is one of the classic movies in the 1980s - The Karate Kid.
In this movie, Mr. Miyagi asks his disciple, Daniel, to do household chores all day, like sanding the floor, painting the fence, waxing on and off etc.
This goes on for several days, and Daniel finally can't take it anymore, and begins whining and complaining, wondering why he's only asked to do these seemingly meaningless tasks.
Mr. Miyagi then asks him to show him all these movements one at a time, and then begins throwing punches at Daniel!
Surprisingly, Daniel automatically blocks all these attacks, without even thinking twice, using the exact same movements that he has been doing for the household chores.
This goes to show that the basics while most boring, are the most important!

Beyond Words - Tropfest Australia Finalist
This video is awesome! It's a short film that got into the finalists category in the recent Tropfest Australia.
It shows this young lady, who's deaf, getting ready to attend her yoga class.
As she enters the class, she notices that a suspicious character, also in the class, keeps looking in her direction.
At the end of the class, she's slightly relieved to find out that this person is actually blind.
In different, she left and made her way to her car.
Out of nowhere, a stranger grabs her from behind, demanding for the keys to her car.
Being deaf, she couldn't hear what he was saying.
Little did she know, the blind man from earlier actually walked up, and managed to scare the assailant off.
I love how the videography works, how they swap between silent video, and a black screen with audio, to show the contrast between the worlds of the blind and the deaf.
Not that it's a really exciting or scary show, just that the message is simple yet with a twist. Great stuff.

What is that? Τι είναι αυτό Greek Video - Father & Son
This is a great video that reminds us of the unconditional love that most parents have for their own offspring, and how children can sometimes take their parents for granted
The father in this scene, is sitting with his son, probably at some park or garden.
Then every few seconds, as a swallow flys by, the father will ask his son "What is that?"
The initial couple of times, the son answers the father, telling him that it's a swallow.
Despite this, the father still asks the same question, seemingly very forgetful.
Very quickly, the son gets annoyed, and ultimately bursts in anger and screams at his father.
At this point, the father went into their home and came back with his diary, to which he flips to a page, and asks his son to read.
So the son reads out aloud, only to realize that it was an entry back when he himself was a little child where there was a particular occasion when he asked his father a total of no less than 21 times "What is that?" each time a swallow flew past. And after patiently giving the same answer each time, the father would hug his son and be so grateful and loving.
This sent a loud and clear message to the son that his father loves him very much, and only wishes for the same.
