Addendum: In a similar vein, try The Daily WTF.

Megabyte Does a Handstand
Monday, June 19th, 2006Megabyte is a robotic whirling dervish of destruction. I’ve seen him obliterate many a robot, throwing tires, axels, body armor in all directions. But I have never seen him do this. A very nice demonstration of what I suspect is an unplanned failure mode.
Incidently, it took a bit of doing to figure out how to generate a smaller version of the video (shot with my Panasonic DMC-TZ1) from the normal .mov that the camera records. The audio would often desync. The best results seemed to be:
ffmpeg -i somefile.mov -ar 44100 -b 1000 somefile.mpg
