Ohio State University marching band Hollywood blockbuster
Just last week we introduced you to the Ohio State University marching band spectacular displays and this week they’ve somehow manage to top their Michael Jackson tribute act with this performance that blends the heroics of Superman with the magic of Harry Potter and the terror of Jurassic Park. Fantastic!

Freestyle finger-snapping
YouTuber Darren Drouin has taken four minutes out of his day to share this quite useless, yet still fairly impressive, talent with you. And don’t try to tell you us you didn’t give it a go yourself after watching.
