	<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="startTxt">Rush hour on</span> Japan's train systems is something quite amazing.  Train carriages are packed like sardine cans, with as many people crammed in as is physically possible, in order to fill every inch of space.</p>
<p>Judging by the videos, it appears to be quite acceptable to push your way onto a train with as much force as is necessary to make sure you fit on.  Numerous guards are actually assigned to each platform to help compress bodies into the carriage and ensure the doors just about shut... and I thought London trains were bad!</p>

	<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="startTxt">When two guys</span> go in for a punch at the same time and both manage to connect well, you get a double knockout.  I suppose, statistically, double knockouts in boxing are bound to occur every so often - if they both deliver a hook with the same hand at the same time, it's going to happen sooner or later.</p>
<p>This video is a compilation of double knockouts, also involving some rather random UFC moments that don't even involve throwing punches.</p>

I feel that this video is rather cruel to the melon-smashing failure we saw earlier this week, but definitely worth posting - for it's not every day that you see a woman who can smash melons with her melons... and I mean, wow, those are some melons.

	<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="startTxt">More fail today</span>, with this Dutch guy trying to break a record for smashing the most watermelons with his head in 2 minutes.  Unfortunately, he gets off to an eye-wateringly bad start!</p>
<p>His initial embarrassment quickly turns to panic as he realises that he <em>must</em> break some watermelons to avoid further humiliation, and so we watch and laugh (and wince) as he repeatedly pummels his skull into melons harder than concrete blocks, through grunts of desperation and pain.</p>
