Except he doesn't look all that persian so it'd be the Prince of Asia I guess, but that's just a minor detail :shrug:

[size=75][i]I once had a glass of milk.

It curdled, and then I couldn't drink it. So I mixed it with some water, and it was alright again.

I am now sick.

That obstacle course is from a show that runs under the name "Ninja Warrior" here in the US. Those courses are fucking nuts.

Yep, I saw it the other night. On Spike TV maybe?

It's like MXC (Takeshi's Castle, in Japan) -- a Japanese show that's dubbed and run over here.

They even have the two olympic twins competing in it - one was a gold medalist in gymnastics I believe, and he didn't make it through the first level of the course.

Thanks for the link though - I've only seen the first stage of the course. :icon14:

Aha, I had no idea that the Gladiators show was international (and indeed that it began in America). I guess I was misled a bit by some of the shows that were on with international competitors (including some from the USA) which led me to believe that it wasn't a show aired in the USA.
Sorry about that :p 5 minutes with google set me straight.

Eh, maybe I should watch the whole clip...


Yeah, those are all from the same show. They run a shitload of people through the first course, so they end up finishing the show at night.
