Engineers

Go on, watch this clip of some fine engineers at work. I can't really say too much about this clip except that you probably should watch it.

Free from poor waiters

Are you sick of waiters who sit around and never actually provide any service? Tired of asking for a glass of water 15 times before it actually appears at your table?

Well enter the fully automated restaurant. You place orders directly on a computer and pay with magic card although I guess cash could easily be an option. Your food is still prepared by chefs who place it on the gravity fed delivery system which provides the food directly to your table. Plus the whole system gives you an idea of expected wait times and how soon your can expect your lobster stuffed with tacos stuffed with caviar stuffed with gruel to arrive.

Make your own beer

The more beer the merrier and this fine contraption makes it easy to have a selection of your own premium brew always available. Rather than using bottles and a whole bunch of transferring this is an all-inclusive system where the fine, tasty, malty, sweet, delicious beverage is securely pumped around using friendly C02. Sure, the guy just built it for himself but the day can't be too far away when we are all brewing our own beverages and adding them straight into a keg without the need for any pesky interference.

Phillipines thriller prison dance

Maybe the title doesn't really do it justice but the crazy Cebu Prison Thriller Dance is fairly interesting and amusing. For futher information on why these prison inmates are dancing get with the program and find out everything you ever wanted to know. What I don't get is why just thriller, all these guys in orange costumes could be used to create some of the awesomest videos ever!

Thanks Kathleen!

Tokyo Wave Pool

This pool is one of the most ridiculously overcrowded things I have ever seen. Supposedly its summer holidays in Japan and everyone has headed down to the Tokyo summerland wave pool. By everyone, I mean apparently the whole population of Tokyo decided to head into the pool on one particular day. This is just plain insane, I mean, Tokyo is crowded and all that but why would you bother going to the pool to be crushed in with 80000 other people.

You tube fun

Well you know those double quarter pounders, well those are easy. This guy has gone for the double pounder. Two pounds of extra greasy macca's beef with cheese/pickles etc. So see for yourself how the double pounder goes down!

In more you tube fun (Thanks Mylk) comes this guy rocking out on a giant guitar. He seems to get a fair bit of action out of that guitar although it must be mighty difficult to play well as it is so huge.

Piss Screen

Its the best named product since "I can't believe its not butter" and it also keeps you amused during your frequent swollen prostate visits to the urinal - Its the piss-screen. Basically its a game you can play while urinating to keep yourself amused and as a simple attempt to work out if you are too drunk to drive.

Personally I think this might encourage extra drinking, you might become so addicted to the game that you spend hours drinking more and more pints to try and best your previous high score.

The clock that knows all

Ah, we're back for a fun exciting Monday! This time we've been passed a copy of the world clock and it tells some interesting statistics. From my reckoning it looks like 5.4% of world deaths this year have been from HIV/AIDS and other STDs. That's just a huge number and I demand action. No longer can our governments sit on their hands and promote road safety when this many people are out there dying from preventable diseases.

Well that's my rant, see you all later.

Thanks Casey!

Double Guitar Simpsons

You know those guitars that are like double guitars. Well this is actually one guy playing two guitars and in fact I swear I've blogged something about this guy before. Well this time he's playing the simpsons on two guitars and it sounds pretty good.

I also thought I'd include a review of the simpsons movie for everyone out there. The plot is somewhat lame and could've done with a bit more thought. Still, the individual scenes in the movie are a lot like one giant episode. There are some really funny moments and Homer keeps us amused throughout. I found Bart's character completely different to the show and it was a bit annoying that he didn't really match his previous 18 years of character development. Lisa was amusing and all the side characters put in good performances. Its certainly not the greatest comedy movie ever, but it has its moments and kept me pretty amused for an hour and a half. 7/10
