Frozen New York Stunt Confuses Grand Central Station
On a cold Saturday morning in January, a flash mob of Improv Everywhere Agents descended on New York City's Grand Central train station and left the entire concourse in a state of complete confusion.Flash Mob - a large group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual action for a brief period of time, then quickly disperse.
What did they do that had everyone so confused? This flash mob of 200+ people suddenly froze in place at the exact same second for 5 minutes in the Main Concourse of Grand Central Station. The frozen poses ranged from people tying their shoes and eating to someone who just dropped a stack of papers. Everyone from tourists to cops stopped in amazement to try to figure out what was happening around them.
My favorite part is the guy trying to drive his garbage cart. He sounds like such a baby when he gets on his radio to call for help.
{Beep} {Beep} {Beep}
"My cart is stuck. People are standing still.
{Sob}
"I need help."

This has to be my favorite one yet. Kudos to the participants for staying frozen so well, too.

The funniest thing for me is that people are taking photos, still images, of complete strangers who are standing still. Now that’s the digital present for you.

to upgrade the RAM in your

Our interview with Ryan was just like his lyrics, honest and articulate. Ryan was very forthcoming and spoke openly about everything from his break with No Knife to his freaky cats.
When it comes to so-called heavy metal supergroups, a lot of them usually don’t last long. But for New Orleans’ Down – made up of Ex-Pantera vocalist Phil Anselmo and bassist Rex Brown, Corrosion of Conformity guitarist Pepper Keenan, Crowbar guitarist Kirk Windstein, and Eyehategod drummer Jimmy Bower – there has been something special that has kept them unified for over 15 years.
What’s
the point of downloading your favorite songs on iTunes if they

chagrin of my neighbors, is truly phenomenal.
Are

So
Napster's gone pay, KaZaA is chock-full of viruses and spyware,
