That video does not play in my neck of the woods.
I think this might be the Youtube Vid...

Cute.
However, my guess is that the minute does not include the time spent "threading" the balloons onto the spigots.
The minute is probably elapsed time from turning on the tap to shaking off the last drop.

Rudi - Your link is similar. Not sure why my link will not work in your neck of the woods.

I pulled mine of yahoo trending: http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/trending-no ... 15812.html

I thought ingenious part was getting an idea popular so fast - or maybe I am being to naive :scratch:

I beliweve you initially get the first set of balloons already threaded on the spigots.

AFTER the water fight, while the little darlings are drying out, you give them balloons to re-thread on the spigots for a few hours of quiet time ? :evilgrin:

:blush: Sorry Rudi ...

Did mean to imply anything. Last post was meant to ensure correct path used. Was not sure why you did not get to view video.

I used that link simply because it was part of the Yahoo News segment. Therefore, I considered the story legit.

:thankyou: for the response though - I always welcome to learn something new.

Do not understand why you would be blocked though :scratch:

No, not implying anything. I could not view the original link you posted so i simply added a second link in case someone else also had the same problem. No issues :)
Youtube will always have a backup video to view.

Lots of news-feeds are for local viewers only Scott. I encounter that problem all the time, and, like Rudi, I search Youtube to see if I can find a copy there, which in most cases I can. If I consider it worth forwarding, I always forward the Youtube link rather than the one that was sent to me originally.
Cheers, Claude.
