If you don't know what Countdown is (its a game show by the way), you may not understand what they are doing but for those of us in the UK/Ireland, I thought it was good http://www.geekgifts.co.uk/countdown/
Yeah - I almost dropped and apendix after that one. Its not like we've never sat there waiting for that to happen...
There is a funny "Candid Camera" type show over here where they played a joke on that host. If anyone has a clip I would be grateful. One of the contestents took a call on their mobile (that was ok but it was building up) One of the funniest parts was that a complete word came up on the board (it was fixed) and when he went to the contestants to ask how many letters the first guy said 5 and the second said 4. The look on his face was priceless. You would have to know this show to know why it was so funny of course.
