If you’re a Youtube watcher it’s safe to say whenever a new video is in the number one spot for “trending” it’s nearly impossible to be surprised. However, when I noticed that video called “Polishing a Rusty Knife” topped the charts I must admit it wasn’t your typical number one. But when you actually see this video that’s now been viewed nearly 3 million times you’ll completely understand why people keep watching it. Mashable does a good job explaining it:
