This is just wonderful -- and really strange. I love the Japanese guy who demonstrates all the veggie instruments and plays "Angels We Have Heard on High" on a broccoli ocarina. Surprisingly sweet sounds coming from those veggies. And his enthusiasm is endearing -- kind of a Mr. Rogers aspect to it. The veggie orchestra (Scandinavian?), while still interesting, was a little less engaging and looked like something you'd see at a Slow Food event -- more a social commentary/experiment than a "golly, isn't this cool and fun" like the Japanese guy's presentation.

Of course, it's not hard to understand how carrots and broccoli can be turned into a playable instrument. I just wonder why.

This reminds me of an unconfirmed story that my brother-in-law's father told me last week. He said that back in the 80's there was an international track & field competition where the United States & the USSR were the only competitors. According to him, after the US won the competition the Russian newspapers touted how "Russia wins second-place, United States, next to last!"

This is not as silly as it appears. If the only entrant's product is not at first place level, then it gets the place it deserves. It is entirely possible for a single entrant not to get any ranking if they don't meet minimal standards or the competition's criteria.
