Ha! They found him!

I walked across the bridge where he got thrown off while I was Osaka. Maybe the curse will be lifted now.

Bicycles that pump air into their own tires. I found out about this in a manga I'm working on today.

I've never met a car insurance actuary who makes fun of women drivers.
He ate my horse.

Look...a few of those drivers are women. In a lot of the video there is no way to tell whether the driver is male or female. I am bad at parallel parking; does that make me a woman? Don't be a sexist pig.

If someones bad at driving, I laugh.  Doesn't matter if they're male or female.  I still think it's funny.

You are quite right. The same holds true for that last clip. It could be a woman. A woman won the nascar race a few years ago. Just goes to show that you can't take these things too seriously.

The bad driving was definitely funny, but its presentation was offensive.

This isn't cool as much as it is interesting.

[Apparently, the animation is from a show called "Bleach"], and the song sounds a like it's a short clip from the Finnish group Loituma's song "Levan Polkka".  Loituma makes some great music, and the entire song is pretty good (though listening to Finnish scat is kind of funny).

To contribute, here's a Youtube clip of them singing the song:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4om1rQKPijI&feature=related
They sound better when not live, obviously, but oh well.

Here's a Chipmunks version:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJnOI9g6Z7M&feature=related

Oh, and here's an entire Bleach/Levan Polkka video (with the complete song, and some sort of accompaniment, which isn't something I'd heard before):  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nb_hG5q0OxQ&feature=related

I though Levan was spelled Llevan . . . O.o I dunno. ha ha.  Yes, that is what it's from.

It's Orihime from Bleach.

Ah, evidently I've misspelled it:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ievan_Polkka

It's "Ievan Polkka".
