But wait until you see them in colorful headbands and baggy urban wear, popping and locking without any sign of arthritis. 68-year-old leader Mrs. Wu initially met resistance from friends, who told her the dance was only performed by “bad people at the bottom of the society.” But she prevailed and now has a 60-strong posse with an average age of 57.

Ito, Japan: Laundry tub raceFor 54 years, Ito residents have been going “rub-a-dub-dub.” Every July, hundreds of competitors squeeze their bums into a laundry tub and paddle furiously down Matsukawa River. The race is a tip of the hat to those who formerly washed clothes on the river banks. Some participants don costumes -- beer hats, Groucho Marx glasses -- and more than a few makeshift boats capsize.

Mikame, Japan: Pig rodeoLet me set the scene: You’re perched on top of a 140 kg bucking beast, trying desperately to hang on for a chance at ¥50,000. The ferocious animal isn’t a steer or a bull… but a one-year-old pig. Mikame’s one-of-a-kind rodeo has been a summer tradition for 26 years. The video reveals that few contestants are able to mount a pig for more than a few seconds. [endtext]

Meteor lights up night sky above Utah - Nov 2009
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJFejgd9bSEendofvid[starttext]A large ball of fire streaking across the night time skies just after midnight had many Utahn's wondering what they saw early Wednesday morning.Dozens of calls came with people wondering if they saw a shooting star, others wondered if it was the end of the world, military testing, or even a UFO. People from Mona to Spanish Fork from Ogden to Bountiful all calling in a very similar sighting More... To many, it looked like a large fall of fire, lightning up the sky, some say like daylight, others reported a blue like light that lasted for about 30 seconds. And many reported hearing a boom about 5 minutes later.Utah's NASA and Solar System Ambassador Patrick Wiggins said that it was a meteor also known as a bolide. From his observatory near Stansbury Park he says the break up of the meteor occured at about 240 to 250 degrees azimuth which puts it just north of southwest. He also heard the sound of an explosion that would put the breakup of the bolide about 100 km in that direction placing it high above Granite Peak in the west desert. [endtext]

Top 10 Sesame Street Moments
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIOiwg2iHioendofvid[starttext]To mark the 40th anniversary of the show that revolutionized children's TV, TIME presents the most memorable moments in Sesame Street historyThough he's best known for his role on The Muppet Show (and his romantic involvement with swine), Kermit the Frog mesmerized young audiences on Sesame Street in 1970 with the tender tune "Bein' Green." The ditty, voiced by Jim Henson and written by Joe Raposo (the same man behind "C Is for Cookie"), won praise for its fun, graceful treatment of subjects like race, individuality and self-acceptance. "It's not that easy bein' green/ Having to spend each day the color of the leaves/ When I think it could be nicer bein' red or yellow or gold/ Or something much more colorful like that," Henson sang. Since then, the melancholy ballad has been performed by Frank Sinatra, Diana Ross, Ray Charles, Tony Bennett and fellow pea-colored Muppet Oscar the Grouch. And to think, the song grew out of a simple request by one of the show's producers: "We need a song for the frog." [endtext]

Berlin remembers the fall
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0xM1sHtadYendofvid[starttext]Twenty years on, millions celebrate fall of hated wallBEFORE A gleaming Brandenburg Gate, Berlin partied last night like it was 1989. Germany and the world recalled the Berlin Wall, the hated physical reminder of Europe’s ideological division, and the glorious night 20 years ago when Churchill’s Iron Curtain was ripped down.“For us, this is when the impossible became possible,” said chancellor Angela Merkel, born in west Germany and raised in the socialist east. The beaming German leader welcomed world leaders and millions of visitors to the Brandenburg Gate, serenaded by Derry-born singer Johnny McDaid whose song We are One, co-written with Berlin DJ Paul Van Dyk, was chosen as the anthem of the 20th anniversary.“I wanted to get across the simple unity of celebration, of what happened in 1989 and how far Germany has come since then,” he said backstage. “It’s incredible looking out at hundreds of thousands of people celebrating, many of whom weren’t even alive 20 years ago.”Between musical interludes, leaders toppled outsized Berlin Wall-like dominos decorated by schoolchildren from around the world and placed along the former death strip – now a harmless line of cobblestones in the street.Irish actor and Berlin resident John Keogh remembered yesterday how, after a day’s work in east Berlin 20 years ago, he was caught up in the historical event. “I remember the atmosphere of disbelief mixed with euphoria,” he said, “and a man carrying an enormous chunk of the wall, laughing wildly to himself.”Few in the crowds at the Brandenburg Gate let the persistent drizzle dampen the mood. After a two-decade transformation – from cold war no-man’s-land to Germany’s reborn capital, the city centre streets of Berlin were the scene of a second all-night party fuelled by sparkling white wine, wurst and fireworks.[endtext]
