This week's Trends: slow motion, translation, and birds

Each weekday, we at YouTube Trends take a look at the most interesting videos and cultural phenomena on YouTube as they develop. We want take a moment to highlight some of what we've come across this week:

• We slowed things down and listed some of the most popular slow motion videos on YouTube.
  
  
• We saw video come in as the waters rose in parts of the country affected by floods.
  
  
• We discovered an unusual Google Translate video trend in Taiwan.
  
  
• Speaking of: we also spotted video of an rare site: a tornado in downtown Taipei.
  
  
• We wondered if Angry Birds was out to become the video game with the most covers of its theme song in the future.
  
  
• We tracked how a talking dog drew millions of fans.
  
  
• And we watched a new single from Lonely Island become one of the biggest hits of the week.
