This is a video of the fun-loving Aussies of How Ridiculous dropping thousands of soccer balls and bouncy balls from a drop tower, crane, and helicopter. This is the kind of thing I wish I did for a living. But nooooo, I have to show up at a factory and

This is a delightful video of Germany’s WDR Funkhausorchester conducted by Enrico Delamboye performing the Super Mario Retro Suite, a medley of the original Super Mario Bros music composed by Japanese composer Koji Kondo.
