So You Think You Can Dance with Ikea furniture?

From those who've been dancing since before they could walk to those who've never busted a move in their lives, Robert Muraine had everyone talking about dance this spring. He blew everyone's mind with his hilarious and extraordinary popping in the So You Think You Can Dance auditions.
The entire routine was mesmerizing, but the highlight was an extreme backbend that inspired series executive producer and judge Nigel Lythgoe to call Muraine his "favourite dancer of 2008". Muraine starts standing in this crazy move, and alternates between pushing his chin and sternum backwards until he is all the way on the floor.

Bond ... William and Harry Bond

I recently had the pleasure to meet the Director of (aerial) Photography for this soon-to-be-released movie as well as many other major films. Here is a link to his IMDB page: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0555777/

Paris Hilton for President!

This video is a response to McCain's recent video-comparison of Barack Obama's celebrity status to that of Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. Not sure I would vote for her but it would be interesting to change the White House into the 'Hot' House!

Hot Chicken anyone?

Here is a funny-weird Spanish, animated commercial that will keep you guessing what the product is until the end - although it may not fit everyone's taste!

Royal bloomers' wide-spread

A pair of bloomers that once belonged to Queen Victoria have been sold for 4,500 pounds at an auction in Derby.
The knickers have a 50in (127cm) waist and date from the 1890s, which indicates the monarch had a large girth as she approached her old age.
It was thought the bloomers would fetch �500 but a Canadian buyer spent �4,500 on the pants which are monogrammed with VR for Victoria Regina.

Signage art goes underground

Axel Peemoeller won several international design awards for the way-finding-system he developed for the Eureka Tower Carpark In Melbourne. The distorted letters on the wall can be read perfectly when standing in the right place.
