Freezing
Occasionally at work a sight, sound or scent will instantly transport me to another place and time. It's weird how one can be so readily entranced in the middle of a crowd, gridlock, or even an expressway run, then just as quickly snap out of it.
Recently a friend in the States sent a video link to a group who freeze on cue for five minutes in public locations. They are called Improv Everywhere
Improv Everywhere causes scenes of chaos and joy in public places.
This global* freezing phenomenon features in a classic video from the Finn brothers...
*Improv Everywhere chapters are yet to be created in most Australian cities.
Freezing in place isn't all they're good at: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2008/03/noon-video---gu.html

I saw an email forward with a group that did this in a major american station (can't remember which one) it was amazing!
