Man vs. Machine

May 3rd, 2008 at 2:41 pm » Comments (0)

This is taken from a TV show (Japan? Korea?) where I’m guessing you were supposed to guess who would win in a downhill race - motor bike or man.
To even things out a little, the man has wheels attached to many parts of his limbs, and appears to be well versed in this sport already.

Train Horn In A Car?

May 3rd, 2008 at 11:50 am » Comments (2)

I have seen these for sale before, as well as MP3s of the isolated sound of the horn, but this video shows what happens when you put said train horns in a car, and drive round scaring people.

I still can’t work out if this video was released as a joke, or even as an anti-Microsoft jibe. I just can’t see how someone would record this with good intentions, and then let it go public…

Left A Bit, Right A Bit

As I previously mentioned, most of the blog posts from 19th April - 5th May have been pre-written (with the timestamp suitable altered), as I’ll not have as much time to write these out. We should hopefully be in Britain (having spent six days in Amsterdam) by the time this post appears, and we’ll have [...]



40 Foot Hard Drop

Not much to add to this post. I think ‘Ow’ might just begin to cover it?

I’m not sure if this was part of a public demonstration, or something they did to while away the hours in between emergency call outs, but in either case, quite an impressive display…



Cheaper To Feed Than A Guard Dog

Do you have problems with unwanted intruders in your garden? (Are any intruders actually ‘wanted’?)
Perhaps you should invest in a tortoise!
