Thanks glatt - thats interesting to know.

Here's my current fav video. I might have posted this link before. They also have one for the Marines.

Glatt - I agree with you. While police work can be dangerous, it's not near as tough as most people think. The majority is boredom & paperwork. That video was sent to me & I thought I would share it.

So is that hand-dancing video sped up, or is it just YouTube making it look like frames are skipped? It was pretty entertaining, either way.

Could also be the shutter angle:

I don't think it was sped up, it looks like they move in a staccato fashion. They have a couple of others that look the same but with other cues to normal speed. It's possible that they filmed it with strobes, but I doubt it. Strobes are what they use for filming water splashes or lemon squirting in Red Lobster commercials.

Yeah i thought about listing them out, but it was late and I was lazy. How you determine "most dangerous" can vary too. That list goes by overall deaths in a year and deaths per 100k. Other ways to measure that would be interesting are by average # of significant injuries per worker over their career span, insurance/workers comp claims, or permanent injuries.

Didn't see that punchline coming.

The Invention of Lying does it better.

I think Johnny Maestro had one of the best voices of the 60's. I found a video that combines computer animation with one of my favorite songs of his. P.S. I don't know if this is from some MMORPG or was generated from scratch.

I llol'd (literally lol'd) repeatedly throughout this video.
