On Mythbusters Jamie didn't swallow the Mentos, he just put them in his mouth. If the guy on YouTube swallowed some of the chewed Mentos and then managed to swallow some Coke then he might well have been suffering some discomfort.

I know he didn't swallow them. In referencing the episode I was referring to the finding that it was the surface of the candy that caused the particularly sudden reaction. If you chew it up, you still get the foaming effect, but now that those little 'bumps' (can't remember what they called the effect) are no longer there, it won't be as sudden.

I'm probably wrong, though

Very easy to make blanks if you have a valid key - just find out the lowest valid height for each pin and grind them down to that level. Okay, some care is needed to ensure the peaks are in the correct place, but this is not insurmountable.

Colin McRae only 0.5 seconds behind the winner in the end.

Look at how smooth he is :8

And yet NASCAR is the second most popular sport in the US.

These are starting to get around the net. Maybe some UK people can explain whether this show was trying to be serious or not, because it could easily be taken as a spoof of The Twilight Zone or The Outer Limits:

"Music" video

The beginning is also a spoof of the Stephen J. Cannell production video logo.

and Travis Pastrana's attempt...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjqAekNzfcw&NR

so is rallying not too big in the USA? Or are these X-Games a bid to improve its popularity?

Rallying is virtually unheard-of in the US. The X-Games have been around a while as an "extreme sports" (skateboarding, freestyle BMX, snowboarding, etc.) outlet. This was the first year for a rally competition. I kind of look at it as if it were an exhibition for the US. I wish I'd known about it. I'd have liked to have watched it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the original didn't have all those random images in it, did it? That makes this statement on that page all the more odd: "This is the original video of the Numa Numa dance without all the edited cuts."

TRUE!
The edit cuts seems to have been a 'one-upmanship' thing.
Here's the original without any additions. I had never seen it before- only the edited ones.
I know- the thrill is gone.

It wouldn't be Colin without a crash! I've been following him since he drove for Ford it's great to see him doing well after he lost his factory ride for a bit there.

Rallying only has a cult following here - quite sad. The Subaru guys are into it, but I don't know too many others.

maybe the best tire commercial ever.

(note: maybe a little risky for the eyes of young children)

I love the bit towards the end where he's tuning the radio and humming to himself. Stuff like that really cracks me up.

Which reminds me, I must get that album by DJ Rubbish and Cassetteboy that Hugo played at his bbq, the big brother bits were hilarious.

If you are a guitar player, or even if you know a little bit about guitar playing (I fall into neither of these categories) I have been told by someone who is pretty expert at it that this guy is about as good as they come.
