Maybe Stanford has something to say for itself after all
I just saw a throat-singing unicyclist.

there's some unicyclist who goes around the UCI campus, too.

There's one around Berkeley that has a seat raised up so high, his seated ass towers above vans. He is awesome.
What is "throat-singing"?

Throat singing is a practice whereby one produces drony overtones in one's throat while simultaneously singing other notes in a more conventional manner, or some shit like that. More at wikipedia. Associated primarily with Tuva, but also with cowboys (scroll down to section on Arthur Miles: note how he drones and whistles simultaneously).
