It's an Irish specification Toyota Corolla Van being removed from the dock not a Ford car. The green truck in the last photo has been photoshopped.

The last "fishing" one looks photoshopped, but these are funny

Anonymous Pieter-Jan said...

@ ericskiff: The last one is photoshopped, I remember seeing a movie on this, or a full story anyways. The second truck pulled both cars out.

P.S. The car in fishing is not a Ford, it's a Toyota Corolla.

They all're Irish - that explains a lot. The ingenious car "fishing" with two cranes drowned could only happen in Ireland, and nowhere else in the world! )))

Those guys installing the air-conditioner look like they have done this before. Very creative plan they had there

  • El Camino del Rei, in Spain pictured here should get a look-in on this list. It is a 2 foot wide cement catwalk, travelling along high cliffs, with no barrier, previously used by engineers to service a hydroelectric scheme. Absolutely lethal, especially since huge sections have collapsed.

  • I went down the Bolivian Death Road with a public bus about two years ago. It was very foggy in between and all people were scared to death. The bus had to reverse several times (one time one of the wheels was hanging over the cliff) and the locals were screaming. Quite an experience. Especially because you could see a lot of crashed cars, busses an trucks when you were looking down the cliff.

  • You forgot a coastal road in south-eastern Maui. It curves its way around bends and ridges, just like many of the roads described, similarly without any edging or protection for a slipping or sliding car. However the worst part of this road is that it is 1 lane. It is a few miles long, and if you happen to meet someone head on in the middle of this road, one of you (one who's closer to their end) has to back up and navigate this road in reverse!! Only locals and insane tourists go there. none of the rental companies will come rescue you on that road, a taxi cab won't go to pick you up, and 911 (except for extreme emergencies) will not respond. Rental insurance also does not work there. Something happens on that road, and you pay for the whole value of the car repair or replacement out of pocket.

  • "No sane road from Kathmandu to Everest would go near Tibet, since both are in Nepal and there are very large mountains between. I think the entry on Tibet needs some modification..."

    Mt. Everest creates the border of Nepal and Tibet. The South side is in Nepal, and the North side is in Tibet. There are no roads to Everest from the Nepal side. If you want to reach it, it's about a 10 day walk up a few mountains from the closest road (I've hiked it.. in the winter..)

    If you want to drive to Everest, the only way to do so is to cross the border into Tibet, and reach it from the other side. That's the road shown in the picture. And it's nowhere near as steep as that one in Bolivia. But then again, there's the ice. :)

    I have pictures from the drive here:

    Another neat fact, China boasts that this road is the highest elevation highway in the world.

One lane, constant mudslides and the bus drivers and truck drivers drive way too fast, (they toss "ghost money" to appease ghosts and improve their luck and feel more invulnerable than they should).

  • I went on the extreme mountain bike ride along that road. Pretty scarey in some ways, especially because I was really hung over, it was pissing it down and you had to stay on the left (ie. right next to the edge) because cars were coming at you. A few days before I did it, an Israeli girl had gone over the edge and died. Although I can see it happening, it would take quite a concentration lapse or extreme fatigue to go over the edge...reckon she just killed herself.

  • WOW!! I saw the Bolivia road either on the National Geographic tv show or the Discovery Channel, and seeing the still pictures of this horrific road had my hairs standing up again, just like static electricity. I drove through,well, as a passenger and not on purpose, on the Cordillera Central's road in Puerto Rico. This road runs right smack the center of the island, and it is not nearly as high, only 4,389 feet, but let me tell you, bring a barf bag and wear a heavy duty pamper. It is very curvy and very narrow, and no guard rails. Yes, the view is beautiful, mango trees down below, which clearly will stop your car on the way down the cliff. I guess is less intimidating because is like a forest, but I'll keep on the freeway, thank you very much!!

  • @andy:

    Also, in physics, we don't worry about minus signs. If something is a positive quantity when it should have been a negative one (which you know from "physical reasoning" ... this is a proof for physicists) you just change the sign. You may also optionally comment "must have lost a minus sign somewhere".

  • I loved them all :P.

    But there's a little mistake in the joke about Jesus... to have a parabola, you need one of the variables to be squared, but the other one must remain lineal... meaning each one represents an axis (x or y).

    So it should be like "3x squared plus 8y minus 9" if the parabola was parallel to Y, or "3y squared plus 8x minus 9"...or whatever, if it was parallel to X.

    Sorry for my English.

  • Proof that Women are Evil


    Women consume Time and Money-->
    Women = Time*Money
    Time is Money--> Time = Money

    Substitution --> Women = Money^2

    Money is the root of all Evil -->
    Money = Sqrt(Evil)

    Square both Sides --> Money^2 = Evil

    Substitute --> Women = Evil

  • Regarding the limit problem, there is no such thing as negative or positive infinity. Infinity is infinity! That's all!
    One more thing: as X approaches 8, the equation approaches to one divided by zero, which in Math means infinity (try yourself...).

  • "Regarding the limit problem, there is no such thing as negative or positive infinity. Infinity is infinity! That's all!"

    That's not true. In simple terms, a limit of infinity means the function increases without bound, while a limit of negative infinity means the function decreases without bound.

    The formal definition of

    lim(x->a) f(x) = -infinity

    would be

    For all e in R, e > 0, there exists d in R, d > 0 such that if |x - a| < d, then f(x) < -e

  • "The chips are covered in a gummy capsule, and are edible after use."

    "The chips are sold in packages just like candies."

    Like gum with baseball cards. Could be done today... I smell lawsuit :) Nice idea though. RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive) would love them and it would be the first Epeat (Environmentally Preferable) gold if you could eat the entire thing.
