  • Wow, cool collection of pics. Thanks for the link. I've reciprocated.
    Read more

  • Don't believe some of them are original! What are your cam configurations? You seem to be doing a lot of macros, must be a great lens!
    Read more

  • Currently I'm reading a book about Theodore Roosevelt's trip into the unexplored Amazon in the earl 20th century. It's amazing what exists there..
    Read more

  • Well, we haven´t even finished exploring the "known" parts of our world and YET a new paradise had been discovered, if you thought those were interesting, try searching for "yeti crab" and bring new panties.
    Read more

  • The picture of the large red 'flower' (# 5) is actually a member of the carrion flower genus Rafflesia, which only grows in south-eastern asia (Malay Peninsula, Borneo, Sumatra, Kalimantan, West Malaysia and the Philippines).

  • That blue butterfly is beautiful! Thanks for posting these photos!
    Read more

  • I saw Jeff DeBoer's armor in a show in Calgary, it is utterly amazing up close.
    Read more

  • Wow! I liked the armor for the opposum and for the mouse. Really interesting.
    Read more

  • hugh.. i think it's ugly.
    I prefer normal trucks.
    Read more

  • I have to admit....I like it.
    Read more

  • Wow that's trippy. At first I thought he meant truck in the american sense, but after looking at some of these i think it'd be cool to see one on the road. Better than the current semi's (lorries, etc.) out there. I especially like the one with the 3 rotating windshield wipers.
    Read more

  • they all have rotating wind screen wipers, i like the shapes of these but the windscreen is jumt rubbish, i wonder what would happen if i wer to smash that - would it fold in or shatter ?
    Read more

  • Interesting and probably the Shape of Things to Come...

    A Bit "Ugly for Sure" and I wonder how Efficient it is?...

    If nothing else it will show up in the next 4 or 5 Sci-Fi Movies that we haven't seen yet...
    Read more

  • Wow, I can claim to have peaked at what trucks will look like in 100 years. Very futuristic concept and looks very efficient on overcoming drag.
    Read more

  • Eeww.. interesting, but surely ugly.

    Using the same style, but a lot prettier are the instruments made by basslab
    Those are beauties.
    Read more

  • I was obsessed with semi-trucks growing-up as a kid, and I remember having a book about them that showed a prototype Chevy truck from sometime in the 50's or 60's which looked very similar to these. To me, these designs are not anything new.

  • Is it a truck ?
    Is it a car ?
    Is it a train ?
    Is it a Space Ship ?

  • Hate these for the same reason I hate cabovers. What happens when you hit something? Looks like a whole lotta "ouch " to me. Good for show not for go.
    Read more

  • Cool! i cant wait to see those on the street!
    Read more

  • beautiful!
    Read more

  • I would kill for that truck
    Read more

  • In a truck like that the driver would be the first one at the scene of an accident.
    Read more

  • as a truck driver myself, I can say that I would hesitate to put a Pamela Anderson poster in the back of this truck's cabin. Well, maybe the poster of Reina Borg, or Princess Leia...
    Read more

  • Maybe just a bit overdone. But American semis have really horrible aerodynamics, they can easily up their milage with little work.
    Read more

  • Hahaha...yeah when I first read trucks I was thinking the typical pickup truck not semi. As out there as they look, I kinda like them. This front view picture does not do them justice. The 1/4 side view is a much better vantage point. And I like how the space between the cab and trailer is at a minimum.
    Read more

  • The windshield looks crazy, but there's got to be a functional purpose for it. From the looks of it, the driver can see what's directly in front of the vehicle, such as pedestrians.

    If that goofy windshield means more visibility, I'm for it. Also, in a collision with anything shorter than the windshield (cars, for example), its odd shape might not be a concern.

    I'm talking out my ass, though. I'm no engineer.
    Read more

  • UGLY!
    Read more

  • I wonder w/ the air dynamic design if it saves fuel in the long run. With gas prices and competition, you could save quite a lot of money.

  • Colani studied aerodynamics, in 1981 he presented a Citroen 2CV with 1.71 L/100km, only by aerodynamic modifications: a living guru of aero efficiency. Ergonomics is his second obsession: a designer casting vision in useable things, from supersonic planes to beer glasses. I always liked his stuff. Search for his name on Wikipedia!
    Read more

  • Colani states that this aerodynamic form reduces fuel consumption by 50%
    Read more

  • Oh that's not so bad looking. Sure it's weird, but it looks European, which is fine.
    Read more

  • dont understood that truck..

  • I can't believe someone patented using a laser to exercise a cat!

    Unfortunately in reality it's not such a good idea to have your cat or dog chase a laser dot around, at least not on a frequent basis. It could make them psychotic over time. I think many of us (myself included) have used a laser on a pet once or twice. Have you noticed how obsessive they get? That's not something you want to encourage too much. But occasional use is okay. Just be careful not to shine it in their eyes.
    Read more

  • Yes, it can make them go nuts. My brother has an Australian Shepard, beautiful dog with one blue eye and one brown eye. We all had fun playing with this dog using a laser. She chased it for hours. And, now the dog wants to chase any moving shadow. She tries to dig in the carpet when shadows from trees shine in thru the window, so now, much of the time my brother has to keep the blinds closed on sunny days. She also digs in the yard when she thinks she is catching shadows from trees. These things never happened until we all played with her using a laser. So, my brother has told us to not ever bring the laser around the dog anymore. She is just to sensitive to the hunt and chase. Some of it is just the Australian Shepard's nature, but the laser can electrify this instinct. Beware!
    Read more

  • I once played with my cat (a red tabby) with a laser pointer a little bit over the course of maybe a week, back when laser pointers were really popular. Then the batteries died and I put it away. To this day though, maybe 7 years later, I can get it out of the drawer and shake the laser pointer in my hand and the cat will come running to wherever I am.

    We have lots of toys he likes to play with now, but not the laser, the thought of getting him in the eye with it always worried me.
    Read more

  • The picture of the cat sleeping in the closet is my friend's cat. I always surprised to see it. He took it a few years back and it his grandparents sent it out in an e-mail and now it all over the place.
