Flying (and driving!) Dutchman

In a yet more bizzaire attempt to make some fine fine personal transport, we have the PALV. Crappy name for another crazy idea that will probably never get off the ground. The whole thing seems really dodgy and really unsafe. Quick I know, lets make a motorcycle helicopter... idiots.

George W Bush Blocks Foreigners from his official site

So George W has blocked foreigners from accessing his official site. If you are accessing the site from north america you can see it but most of the rest of the world can't.

So all those foreigners who are eligible to vote in the US election cannot get information on GW or his policies etc. It really seems strange to me because wouldn't that make people not vote for GW even more. Maybe he is a complete moron, well he is actually but thats a side issue. I still cannot see any logic behind this decision at all.

BTW you can still see the official site here if you want, but much more amusing and accurate (probably) information can be found at this parody site.

Any ideas on why this might have happened????

Guns and Dope Party

I think the american election needs more high quality parties, like the Guns and Dope Party. I don't quite get the ostriches maybe thats their symbol like the donkey and the elephant. Hell who knows. Aaaah its becoming clearer, one third of the Congress will be picked at random and replaced as ostriches. They present some fine policies like their stance on prostitution.

POSITION ON PROSTITUTION

"If fucking is legal,
and selling is legal, then
selling fucking should be legal."
-- paraphrased from the philosopher Carlin

Thanks Kathleen!

Rock and Roll Hair

Now here are some interesting rock and roll hairstyles. Keep scrolling right to see the full pics. Man there is a lot of really really big hair in there.

Thanks Ingrid.

10 Geeky Hobbies

Here it is people, the definitive list of ten things that basically totally ruin your life and declare to the whole world that you are an uber geek. From trekkies to furries, the whole cast is here. Don't think that you can escape anish, you qualify on at least 7/10 of these.

There has to be some kind of multiplication scale for people involved in more than one of these. Once you are up to 2-3 you may as well pretty much declare normal life over and do what you really want and go and live in the basement disguised as Darth Vader while playing everquest.

Dooooo it. doooo it.

gold pure gold

Now this picture is just funny, I won't say why and I won't try to describe the picture. Suffice to say that the title die puny humans, sums it up nicely.

Blog returns to its roots

Now recently this blog has steered away from providing the latest and most foolish in the world of automobiles, its been sometime since the likes of the rocket powered wheelchair and the truck for personal use that is literally a truck. So today the blog returns to these heady days with the World's Fastest Electric-Powered Car. Somehow they got this sucker to hit about 260mph. Not bad, but considering its shape, at that speed it'll probably come too soon.

Man that was the worst line ever, I'm giving up and joining a band of travelling mongeese (or should that be mongooses) and partying on down with michael jackson.

MIndgames

I like mindgames as much as the next wannabe psychic. But this whole concept is just strange, it actually is controlled by your mind and its a game. Mindball's the name, and controlling a small little ball using your EEG readings is how it all works. Supposedly you have to out chill your opponent. So the more relaxed you are the more chance you got to win. Tables cost $20K each which is a little hefty but it would have a lot more novelty value than an air hockey table. I think if you were bad at this game it would be damn hard to win, the more you lost the more angry you'd get and the more brainwaves you'd have going on. Visit the site if you wanna know more, its pretty cool.

Sheep are funny

Sheep provide hours of amusement to the whole family and this little video clearly indicates why. It doesn't make a great deal of sense and in fact its damn foolish to even think that there is any logic behind it at all. Anyway enjoy the baa baa.

Thanks Dan!

Towboat Nightmare

Like the title of a C-Grade movie, this page is a pretty cool collection of pictures that shows what you really shouldn't be doing with your towboat. You have to scroll down the page a fair way to find the cool stuff but make sure you look at all the pictures. This Towboat sure was in for one hell of a ride.

I love bees

Well I like honey and bees and most kinds of insects are pretty cool. Now look at this site. Then tell me what you think... Seems to be very strange, almost like they are hiding something. In actual fact this website is a link that provides information to a quasi online game that gets people to go around answering public phones and then answering trivia questions. How does it work?? Well I dunno, you tell me and maybe we can all play. Wired News has more information if its all a little confusing.

The Ad Graveyard

Ads need a home graveyard too. This site starts out well but really runs out of material really fast. I mean you think they could have come up with a few more than 5 ads or something. Anyway those 5 ads are still kind of interesting. Although they should've found some more material before launching the site, maybe they will gradually ad to it over time..... who knows.

Satellite smashes Chinese shack

So what to do when a satellite comes through your roof? Well like this trusty chinese man did, declare it a sign from the gods and say that it is going to be an auspicious year. I dunno about you but if a satellite came through my roof I'd be thinking it probably wouldn't be a very lucky year at all and probably would be pretty crap. Can you tell I think the internet is boring today. Why oh why can't there be more comedy gold.

Controlled Impact Test: Photos and Video

This is a fairly cool site that shows what happens when they fill a plane with test dummies and crash it into the desert. Man thats one big explosion. If this is what a plane crash is really like, i sure as hell don't want to be involved in one.

Julian's Beever

Heh her name is Beever, thanks to Chubb for this sensational site, clearly the single greatest achievement in the history of the internet. Much greater than homestar, infinitely superior to the onion and a class above the nigerian spam scam site. Its pavement drawings. Ok enough with the sarcasm, there are some pretty cool drawings in here. All cash donations can be forwarded to Chubb, care of me.

Beer is food and Drink and Life

Beer, some would say man's greatest invention, some would say a drain on society that leads people to do nothing but sit around and dream about beer. mmmmmm beer, I could sure go for one right now! Outta my way you fools. arrrgh that's better, so sleepy can't go on. Anyway because beer is food I bring to you beercook, another interesting site devoted to all manner of beers and beer related food.

If you are looking for more information about beers goto Ratebeer they have reviews of just about every beer in existence and provide benefits to people who rate over a hundred beers. Me Included!

The most important US election ever

After Little Johnnie ended up winning the Australian election for a fourth time, help us god!!! Soon we will be the most fascist society in Australian history with an incredibly dodgy immigration policy, a complete lack of job security and caviar for all. For those who wish to live in a land of caviar and christian families, without any influence from overseas, gay society, or anything vaguely contradictory to conservative ways from years gone by then fine. But for me and every other young person from normal Australia I would hereby like to take this opportunity to state that soon I believe that I shall deaprt this planet for the greener grass in Holland.

So now that Australia is screwed my attention has inevitably been drawn to the US election to see if the rest of the world is screwed also. This little quiz gives quotes and you have to work out if George W or Kerry said it. I didn't do very well, but most of the quotes coul've been said by either candidate.

Strange US election predictor

So I was looking for a guide to who would go on and win the US election and this piece of Trivia happened to stumble into my sight. It turns out that the Washington Redskins have correctly predicted every election result since 1936 or something crazy. How do they do this you may ask? Well if they win their last home game before the election, the incumbent party will retain power. If they lose then the challenging party will take over. For interests sake their last home game before the election this year is against green bay packers. Go green bay and win the election for Kerry!

Interactive Homer

Now we all love the simpsons, and this little gem is an interactive Homer. Actually its not all that amusing and quickly loses its appeal, but hey its simpsons related and its friday afternoon and thats all anyone cares about right.

Another death defying idiot

So after modified wheelchairs and all kinds of other mods we end up with the modified shopping trolley. Attached to a simple jet engine, the device looks remarkably safe and confortable.... not. All those to correctly pick the next strange mod to appear on this blog win a prize. What kind of prize you ask, well I dunno but it'll be pretty lame.

Damn jerks won't let me link to their picture, so you'll just have to go look for yourself.

Tomorrow's Australian Elelction

In light of tomorrow's election I though this quiz site would provide you with a little bit of amusement. It does some shonky back door comparison of your views and gives you an idea of where your political beliefs lie. BTW, it probably ain't accurate so don't take it too seriously.

I got a combination result of ALP, One Nation, Greens but not liberal or national.

Do it.....

GoodPub guide for UK

This is a pretty cool idea, when you want to find the nearest good pub you just text this site and you end up with the nearest pub that is open. If you want another one you just text next and away you go to the nearest pub destination. Plus they can provide maps and stuff. All in all it makes drinking a whole lot easier, which is always a plus.

Monobrows are Cool!

Everybody loves a Monobrow and in this, the official year of the monobrow (completely false) there is never enough time to visit everybodies favourite site devoted to monobrows. There are some beautiful monobrows out there, each one struggling to outdo the field of contestants. Each week a winner, and everytime anish gets an entry the better.

Traffic Light Wars

In the vein of stick figure fighting comes traffic light wars. Small little animations of interesting little men fighting their way through life, taken from traffic lights. Thats it, I really can't say anymore about it. Go and look at the link yourselves. Bloodsuckers, always feeding on the trusty supply of links, well you'll get your come-uppance someday. Someday soon....... Very soon

SpaceShipOne wins XPrize, also wants YPrize and ZCar

A lot of people have been wondering about this for a long time. Whether commercial space flight actually has a future. Well this wacky space ship one thingee has won a $10 Million Prize for being the first commercial spaceship to go into space twice within 5 days. The $10 million prize will supposedly only pay for about half of the cost of building the space ship but hey who cares.

Dilbert Ultimate House

Dilbert's house is filled with all kinds of wacky crap. Including your own observatory and a greenhouse its the ultimate house for all you techno-geeks out there. If you wanna take the tour, go here and enjoy all the fine entertainment that dilbert has to offer.

Lost in Translation

I got this rather strange email this morning...

Now if anyone can tell me what the hell it means i'd be most appreciative. Maybe that procedure really did grow my aunt, or maybe "mind deal should table" I dunno hell.

For a moment there I thought it was some email propoganda for the election but I think all they are doing is selling bodgo software.
