"Huh ?? all he does is break the window...."

If that were the case it wouldn't be funny. Watch again, first he shows up with black pantyhose stuck on his head like overgrown Mouska Ears. He moves off camera, then returns with the pantyhose over his face like he should have in the first place. That's when he throws the rock and runs across the street stumbling all over himself not once but twice.

Mouska Ears:

Don't laugh. I actually had one of those Mouska Ears hats when I was a child. That show was quite popular when I was 5 or 6. But what I really wish I still had was my Remco "Space Gun". Or my antique tin car that would sputter along the floor with flickering lights and blow "steam" out the radiator vent. I think I still have my old "Beany and Cecil" beany copter. That copter got stuck on my neighbors porch roof dozens of times. But since the houses in Brooklyn were so close together I was always able to retrieve it by pushing it off the roof froom my bedroom window with a stick.

Who's laughing? Every kid in the neighborhood belonged to the Micky Mouse Club and if you extrapolate the figures you'll see how big that club was. I had a number of toys including one for the bathtub, a plastic submarine you put a pellet in and it dove and surfaced like a real sub. Mom as usual figured it out, when the pellets were gone out came a can of baking powder. Play Doh never made it home, she figured that one out real quick and made it out of flour, salt, a little water and food coloring. Talk about old school, mama was a Pennsylvania Redneck.

Your mom should have been my mom, I hope by now you figured out how to use the chin strap and fly home from your neighbor's roof.

I tried to nominate the guy who crossed the subway tracks, but got an error message when I went to submit. I also got a mail error when I went to report that...

Yep, that was the Beany Copter. Each of the copters has a compartment where you could put a message inside and fly it over to your friend. I still have it somewhere buried in back of a closet..

I really wanted to be able to float and fly through the air like Peter Pan but at such a tender young age I didn't have access to the shrooms and blotters that would have made that feasible... Hi Hi.

In grade K our teacher used to make play doh the same way. Flour, water, salt and food colour.

I used to have a cheap dollar pocket watch with a real glow in the dark dial. Not the kind you have to charge up with a light but the kind that glows continually because it was painted with radium. I used to fall asleep with it right next to me listening to it tick and watching it glow softly in the dark room. In other words I irradiated myself to sleep. I still have it. It barely glows anymore but, put a Geiger Counter right near it and it clicks like mad.

Make that a scary video.

Footage posted to YouTube late last week shows a Brazilian woman being pulled out of the way of an oncoming train at quite literally the very last second.
According to local reports, the incident took place at the Corinthians-Itaquera Metro station in São Paulo. The woman had allegedly leaped onto the tracks in order to retrieve her cellphone after it slipped out of her hands.
Metro officials confirmed the March 26th incident to Globo's G1 portal, and said the woman was not injured.
They added that the São Paulo Metropolitan Trains Company's safety standards had been violated, but it remains unclear if the woman will be charged with a crime.

Her 15 minutes of fame almost became the last 15 seconds of her life.

Woman Nearly Run Over by Train After Jumping Onto Tracks to Retrieve Her Cellphone

"I used to have a cheap dollar pocket watch with a real glow in the dark dial."

I had one of those wind up alarm clocks with two gongs on top that could wake the dead, it also had a radium dial. I called it "Ticky". (;->) Of course a Geiger counter would sound off, the radium was still going strong long after the phosphor crapped out under constant bombardment. Same thing with old TV picture tubes, the electron guns still tested good but raster burn killed them.

That Brazilian woman isn't very smart, unless placed on a rail it wouldn't be touched. Wait until the train passes, the next one won't be along for at LEAST 10 minutes. Oh, that's not Sao Paulo the city, it's the city of Itaquera in the Federative Unit (state) of Sao Paulo.
