Apparently this happy slapping business is what moronic youths do these days just as a little warm up to even more violent crime.  Enjoy this future prison fodder&#8217;s comeuppance.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.timesonline.co.uk\/article\/0,,2-2137321_1,00.html\">Here&#8217;s an article<\/a> that basically describes what you just watched&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Then, a very interesting <a href=\"http:\/\/www3.youtube.com\/watch?v=kmGGvBZGAhY&amp;search=acupuncturist%20chi\">little segment on an acupuncturist<\/a> who has some pretty amazing control over his body and, well, the force, really.  Be sure to watch to end, the finale is worth it.<\/p>\n<p>Next is basically a collection of videos from some Japanese television show that are simple hacks for everyday problems, but the execution is flawless and very cool.<\/p>\n<p>First off, <a href=\"http:\/\/video.google.com\/videoplay?docid=4776825453418327083&amp;q=shirt+fold\">how to fold a shirt.<\/a>  I really need to try this, it seems too easy.  But the end result is very fast and neat.<br \/>\nThen, <a href=\"http:\/\/youtube.com\/watch?v=anZBo2FmaL8&amp;search=peel%20a%20potato\">peeling a potato in one step<\/a>.  The thing here is you peel it with your bare hands.  Very cool.<br \/>\nAnd finally, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=FhklMGA01Gg\">how to put on a band-aid<\/a>.  This is probably the least revolutionary, but it really does make a lot of sense, and I predict that they will just make band-aids this way very soon.<\/p>\n<p>And finally, just so you don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m a YouTube fanatic, check out this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.slashbuster.com\/videos.htm\">maniacal tree chipper\/shredder\/demolisher<\/a>.  Good gravy, these guys really hate trees.  A lot.  <\/p>\n<p>Anyway, there you go.  I stole these links from everywhere, but the Japanese videos all came from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifehacker.com\">LifeHacker<\/a>, an excellent site you should all go to now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Morning kids.
