That's a neat trick on a discarded vid. I tried it on my discarded one (since it no longer has the "modify video details" link), but it doesn't do anything. Is that a new diamond power?

I'd have a lot more respect for someone who put in the time to master it on the piano than someone who put in the time to master it in an arcade game. Of course, if this guy could play any song you happen to run through that videogame without any practice, that would be a neat trick.

This is definitely one of those things that makes you scratch your head and ask "why?" I suppose that, "because it's fun" is a good enough answer though. I wonder how many quarters (or whatever) he spent learning to play that game so well.

At any rate, bravo. That certainly is a talent.

I have been watching clips on the sift here for over 4 years

lmfahs - really?? that's a neat trick.

You're denouncing this news clip because of how unfair it would be for an entire society hating on another purely because of the ideology of its members. Yet every single day something is either posted about how if you believe in religion you're A: wrong, B: backwards.
The entirety of religious society is discarded here on the sift based on YOUR narrow minded viewpoints. And its hard to fathom that someone else can feel the same about your nation?

As with societies, the sift is the same - not everyone here is a religion basher. On the other hand, religion is completely different than nationality. You get to choose one, not the other. One may consider moving to another country and applying for citizenship, but the financial and social burden is usually too great for most people to overcome. Changing your faith is usually no more difficult than picking up a book and going to the appropriate place of worship, or simply giving it up entirely, which many here have done.

The clip is clearly overloaded with simplifications, but it is worth considering what happens when a generation of media coverage continues to push a particular viewpoint. That's one of the great things about the US - our mainstream media often get it wrong, but they have a tendency to correct in the long term. You have to pull back and look at this from a longer perspective. I don't really know what European media is like much beyond BBC online. But I wouldn't be surprised if anger at American foreign policy over years slowly changed into simply hatred of America, without some counter balancing coverage.

[edit] I have to say that the overall quality of mainstream media in the US has been deteriorating for some time, and more than just the last eight years. But I don't think this is strictly an American phenomenon (caveat above notwithstanding).

OK, I just watched the other video and commented in there. This is mostly hoax. Especially this video, showing the elephant classic paintings, what rubbish. These paintings are in fact done by the elephant, but the elephant has no concept of the design of them. The trainer puts paint on the brush, then gestures to where on the canvas the elephant should paint, then passes the brush to the elephant. The "creativity" is somewhere between a connect-the-dots and a paint-by-numbers.

A neat trick, but please- these elephants wouldn't paint a thing if their trainers weren't right next to them telling them every stroke.

neat trick mlx

Hail to the queen!

MycroftHomlz, yup, having lived in Denmark for a while, I also believe the guy's a Danish, although I suspect he's also spent some time either somewhere in the UK/Scotland or maybe down under. Anyway, it's a neat trick and the accent's rather cool, especially if he were a barman, so an upvote from me

that's a neat trick.

now i think of it, a lot of my school time was basically being taught that i am "under control" and there were some facts about science and geography to pad that out.

Now, i have forgotten 90% of the facts i "learnt" and i just remember the oppression. Neat trick, huh?

This is long multiplication but without writing it down. I think this would actually be harder than just writing it unless you happen to be good at mental arithmetic in which case this would just be a neat trick to help speed you up even more.

I just saw that FF is the ONLY top 15 without a 100 star. That's a neat trick.

;-)

Neat trick, but I'd prefer to watch an armored car go through Criss Angel.
