[QUOTE=kladner;313547]Someone on my cousin's mailing list responded that this experiment only worked because the metronomes are Japanese. If they were American they would still be out of step.[/QUOTE]

That is plagiarized from an year-old comment on youtube:
[QUOTE]It is because they are all Japanese metronomes. Their culture teaches conformity in every day life.If they were American metronomes, some would chose to only move in one direction; to stubbornly not move at all; to orientate themselves backwards; to head/hand standing... etc... LOL[/QUOTE]
or this on, newer:

[QUOTE]This video shows the process of going from American to Asian.[/QUOTE]I love the last one, and I bet is valid not only for Americans, but for everyone, (Romanians including), especially for Latins, maybe some of you still remember the video which was in circulation years ago about Italy joining the EU, it was really famous (goggling for it) ([URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHWBL9_alKs"]found it[/URL]!) It fits our society and culture in every aspect...

It's true! I was in Italy for two weeks for a class history trip. We were taking two vans back to Fiumicino. When we got there, we told a teacher in the other van, "Holy ****! Our driver was driving 100 MPH!". He asked us, "Are you sure that wasn't 100 KPH?", and we replied, "No no no, it was 1[I]60[/I] KPH."

[quote]One day, high above Arizona , we were monitoring the radio traffic of all the mortal airplanes below us. First, a Cessna pilot asked the air traffic controllers to check his ground speed. 'Ninety knots,' ATC replied. A twin Bonanza soon made the same request. 'One-twenty on the ground,' was the reply. To our surprise, a navy F-18 came over the radio with a ground speed check. I knew exactly what he was doing. Of course, he had a ground speed indicator in his cockpit, but he wanted to let all the bug-smashers in the valley know what real speed was 'Dusty 52, we show you at 620 on the ground,' ATC responded. The situation was too ripe. I heard the click of Walter's mike button in the rear seat. In his most innocent voice, Walter startled the controller by asking for a ground speed check from 81,000 feet, clearly above controlled airspace. In a cool, professional voice, the controller replied, ' Aspen 20, I show you at 1,982 knots on the ground.' We did not hear another transmission on that frequency all the way to the coast.[/quote]
