This gives me an idea... We should have a "Post skills better than reciting pi digits" competition! You just post good skills that you found on the internet :)

Great idea!
My skill that is better than reciting pi digits: I can balance a beer can on the flat spot on my head.
Unfortunately, I don't have a video to show you guys.

cool as! Would be better if it were knives or alligators though. Still beats being a jerk and reciting pi

IMPRESSIVE! Concert conductors should use those balls instead of the conductor stick!

I can cause storms, calm the weather, still the seas, rise mountains, sink valleys, use your mind like a puppet, talk with angels, walk through hell untouched by the taint of evil, sit next to the throne of god without becoming virtuous, converse with demons: in short, I am everything humans want to be but never can become.

I hope this isn't a video featuring a guy wearing a suit with lots of balls on it, and being a one man band.

Mk, you're close. It's a walrus bopping different sounding horns in sequence.

Would this team juggle swimsuits or wear swimsuits while juggling?
