At age 8, your dad buys you an ice cream. You thanked him by dripping it all over his lap. When you were 9 years old, he paid for piano lessons. You thanked him by never even bothering to practice. When you were 10 years old he drove you all day, from soccer to football to one birthday party after…
Sculpture Forgings (by EdwardTufte)
What a great video. It has:
- Ivy League professor turned managerial guru and artist Edward Tufte banging on hot metal with pneumatic and manual hammers;
- An auction where an abstract metal sculpture goes for 15 million dollars;
- Hot metal glowing bright orange;
- An old-fashioned anvil;
- Two blacksmiths hitting metal in tandem (harder than it looks);
- A lot of sparks when cutting metal;
- Abstract metal sculptures at the end.

I am glad Snake and Cloud made it to the top five.
1. Mario (Donkey Kong, Nintendo, 1981)
2. Link (The Legend of Zelda, Nintendo, 1986)
3. Master Chief (Halo: Combat Evolved, Microsoft, 2001)
4. Solid Snake (Metal Gear, Konami, 1987)
5. Cloud Strife (Final Fantasy VII, Square, 1997)
