TARA SENFI:)
"A small docuclip of a man with the "most severe case of amnesia." With only a memory of his wife and his musical abilities, he essentially has no place in time."
Clive Wearing is a British musicologist, conductor, and keyboardist suffering from an acute and long lasting case of anterograde amnesia. Specifically, this means he lacks the ability to form new memories. On March 29, 1985, Wearing, then an acknowledged expert in early music at the height of his career with BBC Radio 3, contracted a virus which normally causes only cold sores, but in Wearing's case attacked the brain (Herpes simplex encephalitis). Since this point, he has been unable to store new memories. He has also been unable to control emotions and associate memories well.

Alex Kim: Stampede!!
This video is about a prank that was conducted by a Japanese t.v. show. It's a really funny video that had me constantly laughing. Basically, it displays how people's behavior can be influenced by other groups depending on the situation.
Hope you enjoy.
