12,000 people dance Thriller in the streets of Mexico City.

Unbelievable. Best part is watching the soundwave travel down the street when the claps ripple back.

How can you be sick of watching 12,000 people dance it at once, though? And the physics! You can watch sound waves! So cool!

I kept waiting for the physics. It never came.

Watch the claps. They travel back in a wave at at about the same rate as the speed of sound.

It looks exactly like people doing “the wave”. Same as at any random sporting event, no?

But they’re not actually doing the wave. They’re just dancing in time with the music as it travels to their ears from the speakers. You’re watching sound waves travel out.

Since I was 12 years old, my dream was to drive a Ferrari. I found a guy who will let me drive his Ferrari, but I can am only allowed to drive it for one day, and I have to pay him $5000 for the privilege. Actually, theres a guy with an even nicer Ferrari for $6000, which I can also drive for one day. I need that one instead. I can’t settle for the $5000 one anymore. Doing this would make me so happy. Sure, I may seem like a selfish, money wasting sucker. However, change the word “Ferrari” to “Wedding Dress” and suddenly I’m not the only one.
