As far as I'm concerned, this guy is not the best. This is a clip I often play when I've got a party at mine along the same theme, and I reckon it's a better version (and I'm pretty sure it's a different person).

It's definitely a different person. If you want a better version though, look at the one I posted before, and go to the Christmas one. I didn't post that one because it's only October and people would get annoyed if I started posting Christmas links now

Well, having just been reminded of the piano juggling, and knowing that there are a few clips I think are out of this world, here's my first entry on this thread:
One of Johann Lippowitz's excellent mimes. There are so many things which I find admirable about this clip that I'll let you judge for yourselves.

Without wanting to emphasise too much how much I like it, I would just like to say that, in itself, this clip is worthy enough for youtube to exist.

Different, but still not as good as the one I posted IMHO. He's not quite on track at points, and the chord playing always lags.

Either way, they're both extremely talented

Ugh... Well...the coordinated timing of the throws to notes is fun to watch, but once I started observing closely, I noted that the positions of the hits don't match up to the pitch of the notes hardly at all.

Edit: I'm sure in a critical mood today, it seems. Sorry about that.

He likely meant SSBB, as he's talking about Super Smash Brothers Brawl, and not Super Smash Brothers Melee, the current SSB.

No worries
You'll find that the tuning of the piano isn't "standard" but adapted to the juggling, as opposed to actually having to on a standard layout where distance between notes is not related to the song played.

You'll notice that the only 2 people who can play this way happen to play exactly the same ones (actually, the Christmas one was one I hadn't heard before but only played on its own).

I guess part of the skill is to find a song where there is a "linear" progression through the notes used (hence the visual side to side stance).

But yeah... If you feel like being critical, then *fine* - just don't tell the children :p

EDIT: I should probably not that there's some offensive language in those screenies.

Today a scammer named "WoWfan4life" messed with the wrong person I am 25 , and have been a Private Investigator for the State of Florida and Texas for 3 years.

I came across him interested in my World of Warcraft account offering 120$. He seemed very sketchy , rushing me etc. and I thought this trade was going to be a problem but I really wanted to get rid of this account. I accepted his offer and waited for payment via paypal. Since I was being very impatient which was my big mistake I did not wait for the "Pending" funds to clear.. So I gave the account information and as I thought the 120$ was cancelled before clearing. Immediately after giving him the info !

I had prepared for this situation , so I decided to try and turn this whole scam around Screenshots below, funniest thing I've ever seen , linked it to a whole bunch of friends thought you all would gain something from this experience too

While I can't in good conscience support the Pirate Bay, mostly because they don't seem to care who they hurt, I must admit that they have gigantic cojones.
