Yo-yo dance


Check out this video of a guy doing yo-yo tricks. I wonder how many times he whacked himself in the head while practicing this routine? My favorite part is the sounds the audience makes.

Click here to get more information than you ever knew there was about yo-yos. For example, did you know that the name yo-yo is believed to have derived from Tagalog and translates as "come-come"? In reality, however, yo-yo is not a Tagalog word (the word for "come" is halika). It is possible that the term came from another Philippine language. The term was first published in a dictionary of Filipino words printed in 1860. I could go on and on. Personally, I like "yo-yo" a lot better than "halika-halilka." Don't you?

By the way, the yo-yo pictured above is on sale! It was $199.99, but if you act now you can get it for only $134.99. Seriously.
