Ding Dong Song!
Oh. My. God. This dude is my new hero: Günther!
Crazy mullet, creepy mustache... and the perfect euro song... "Ohhh, you touch my tra la la." LOL.
The four main things in Günther's life are Chanpagne, Glamour, Sex and Respect...

Rollercoaster Simulation
No Limits, a german website has a program that simulates rollercoasters. People from all over the world have used this program to simulate almost all of the worlds rollercoasters in every detail. Want to know what the ride in Disney's California Adventure is like? Load it up and take a ride! Its very cool, and kind of scary how much content people have produced for it.
Demo Scene
The Demo Scene (link may not work) has always facinated me. Programmers gather to produce very compact, very cool programs that show off graphics and music in as little code as possible. The stuff produced is often less than 64k in size, but has enormous amounts of content. Its mind blowing when you see it and realize that there is only 64k of code running these things.
This group has some pretty impressive demos. They have recently released a First Person Shooter (ala Quake) that runs on less than 100k of code. Damn.
