McCain Cost Cutting

More Onion gold.

How fast can you climb 400ft?

Without a rope...

Yes, he's clearly a bit crazy. He kept going bigger but eventually went a bit too big.

Bust a Move

Another goldie from Digg (where I get most of this stuff from) - if this is real this is pretty damn funny. The lengths salespeople will go to...

Earthquake warnings?

Next time you see colorfully glowing clouds, brace yourself. A rare (and perhaps scientifically unproven) phenomenon has been seen to precede a few earthquakes historically, with the recent one in Sichuan as an example.

Potential explanations are available here, with the video available here.

Could be totally circumstantial and more like a rainbow phenomenon, but if it is a true reflection of electrical charge from an earthquake, perhaps it could lead to more detection mechanisms?

Car Crash

I have always had a hard time buying the government's reasons to not allow some electric cars on the roads. That goes as well for many SUV owners who seem to think that massive vehicles are the only safe vehicle for the roads. I have heard many people remark that something like a SMART car is a death trap. This video should be a testament to good engineering in a small vehicle. Granted - crashing a car is dangerous. No matter what car you're in, you may die if you crash at high speeds. But this shouldn't be the reason to prohibit efficiency on the roads.

Music Montage #2

Another remix (this time of a freak-out by Bill O'Reilly). I find these really funny.

Japanese Train

Now this is what you call an efficient transportation system! Just pack it in...

Strong winds...

This is why wind turbines have brakes.

Physics Question

Ok, I officially have internet now so I should be able to post with more regularity.

Today's question: will a boomerang work in zero gravity? Think about it...

Then watch the vid.
