  Subway Stops Inches Before Woman on Tracks

  (News)
  [ 0:47 - from Fox ]

  Wowsers.  I guess the title kinda tells you how this ends, but even knowing that the title character is not made into Subway roadkill won't keep you from flinching.  Amazing how this subway somehow avoids running over the drunk woman who falls onto the tracks and just lays there as the oncoming light gets closer.  Extra points for the cool camera technology that tracks bodies for this kind of emergency - you see the shapes moving on the screen around the people. view

  No. 1 Ladies: Author's Diary: 2

  (Cultural)
  [ 2:56 - from HBO ]

  Novelists usually get short shrift once their books get optioned for TV and film. But HBO’s “No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency” is complemented with an online mini-doc series narrated by Alexander McCall Smith (the man behind the bestselling book series). In this ‘Author’s Diary,’ he sheds light on what inspired the stories brought to life in the books while revealing cultural insights into his native Botswana. A little education to go with the drama.  view

  Ron "Typewriter" Mingo - Real People

  (Profiles)
  [ 5:26 - from YouTube ]

  I'll bet that Ron "Typewriter" Mingo is the most badass typist that you will ever see. Facts: Ron Mingo played professional football, professional baseball, and he was the fastest typist in the world at one time. I hope Ron Mingo is still around. I would love to see a "Where Are They Now" segment about this guy. view

  Thong 101

  (How-To)
  [ 1:12 - from YouTube ]

  Linda Koopersmith, once of Style Network's Clean House, is the official 'go to' folder and storer of stuff. Hearkening PeeWee Herman's giant underwear, Linda uses the world's most giant Thong to demonstrate how to properly fold and store the problematic underwear. I don't think I have ever seen such a ginormous thong, as normally most thongs are so small you can crumple them in one hand and throw into a drawer like a wadded up piece of elastic. Just goes to show that you can learn something useful everyday.  view
