'Keine minute ohne comedy' actually translates to 'no minute without comedy' rather than 'a minute of comedy'.

I've seen a similar anti-smoking bus around here.
That glass one and that "weightlifting prolongs life" one were pretty neato.

  • The six wheeled sports car is the Covini CW6 - see for instance:
    http://www.gizmag.com/go/2754/ and
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covini_C6W

  • FAB1 is from the Thunderbirds Movie. Nice concept but still all from the mind of Gerry Anderson and the 1960 show.
    Read more

  • Haha Nazis had a great sense of humor. I never would have imagined.
    Read more

  • Nazi Tanks? I never knew Tanks could have a political view. Maybe you meant German tanks! Just like an American Soldier isn't a Republican soldier doesn't mean all Germans were Nazis, they can have a good sense of humor indeed.

    Funny though :)
    Read more

  • You know, if only textbook authors can learn from these fine examples on how to motivate readers to keep reading and understanding.

    Kathy Sierra may get a kick out of this.
    Read more

  • If you understand the descriptions it's even more funny xD
    Read more

  • that's how militarism works. make them forget they kill people.
    Read more

  • "For every grenade that you fire:
    your father paid 100 Reichsmarks in taxes,
    your mother worked for a week in a factory,
    a train drove 10,000 kilometers!

    Think about that before every shot!"
    Read more

  • Thats a neat find, who says history is boring?
    Read more

  • I recommend a look at the Luftwaffe's 1944 gunnery manual for fighter pilots, the "Schiessfiebel" as approved by famous General Adolf Galland. It abounds in drawings of scantily clad or nude females, accompanied by rhymed instructions, e.g. to explain such concepts as "aspect angle".
    Read more

  • The Luftwaffe obviously wanted its pilot to score, one way or the other. See for yourself: http://www.rafiger.de/Homepage/Pages/Schiessfibel.html
    Read more

  • That is unbelievable creepy.

    I'm sure by 44 the Germans were running a little short on humor, but I could see them being a little cocky in 42 after easily taking over europe, and quickly advancing in Russia. The manual clearly shows how the Germans thought they were invincible.

  • Oh those Nazis...
    Read more

  • Those Nazi's knew funny. Using sex to sell war, better than Detroit using sex to sell cars.

  • I thought the manuals were funny. Maybe manuals for electronics need to be funny.

    What I did not like was the 20 requests to place cookies.
    Read more

  • Latvija - what's wrong, you don't like cookies? :)
    all cookies are harmless here, its just ad banners doing their normal thing.
    Read more

  • Oh my God, those are like those nutty instruction manuals for the
    American and British forces.

    Same style, same jokes! I swear it must be the same cartoonists doing the work for everybody.

    We ARE art whores, you know.

    I have to share this with all my comics and cartoonists friends.
    Read more

  • I think it was during the Vietnam war that the US Army started publishing PM magazine. It was a cartoon-like magazine full of tips for keeping your weapons and equipment in good working order. At that time the cartoons showed Connie (a 40DD Blonde) and Bonnie (a 40DD black girl) showing how to perform the maintenance. They were often very scantily clad (think Daisy Dukes outfits) as well. Since then PM has cleaned up. Bonnie and Connie have nad breast reductions (34B?) and they have added other characters like a grizzled maintenance NCO, a dashing young aviator, etc. Sigh, those were the days!

  • Lovely pages! I'd really like to have scans of all the pages so I can make my own Fibel for further reading pleasure... Is that possible? Peter_dehaasattele2.nl

  • Duel: that was a really really good movie... liked it a lot.
    Read more

  • Ok, now show us what they Transform into.
    Read more

  • Yeah, Duel was seriously scary. Speaking of scary, I can just imagine some kid in the back of his mom's minivan when they pass that evil clown truck on the road.
    Read more

  • I want the red one with the claw hands so I can drive down the highway and EXACT VENGEANCE on those whose driving skills I disapprove of!
    Read more

  • Hhmmmm, wonder what the drivers look like? Scary thought!!

  • The 6 wheeled monster truck is a RC car :)

  • have you seen this site?

  • Where is the Maximum Overdrive trucks? That was a good movie.
    Read more

  • Does anyone remember that retro movie with those cool futuristic trailer trucks that had missiles and guns and other bells and whistles attached to them? The protagonist would drive them around and blow his enemies to smithereens. I can't remember how it ends, but I think one of his trucks gets destroyed. Anyone know what movie I'm talking about? I saw it when I was younger, but never paid attention to the title. I get all nostalgic whenever I think about it.

  • P.S. It's not Mad Max.

  • Deathrace 2000?

  • Could be wrong, but it looks like a baby capybara to me.

  • I think it's a "naked" guinea pig. See here: http://www.cavyconcepts.com/
    Read more

  • I think it's a hairless guinea pig. We used to have some as pets. I used to say they looked more like little capybaras than guinea pigs.
    Read more

  • I'm also going to go with the hairless guinea pig.
    Read more

  • Hippopotamouse!
    Read more

  • And the winner is......kstar!

    >kstar said...

    Because "hippopotamouse" is so perfect that it automatically replaces whatever name was used before.

  • It's a naked guinea pig!
    Read more

  • I am 99% certain that the mystery animal is a capybara. The shape of the head is a dead give away.
    Read more

  • It is actually a hairless breed of guinea pig called a "Skinny Guinea" they are born with fur and lose it as they get older.
    Read more

  • It is absolutely 100% a skinny pig, a genetic mutation of the humble guinea pig
    Read more

  • It is a black "Skinny Pig", I have a white one. They were mutated in a lab to make them hairless. Quite a hazardess act, but yes,,, 100% Skinny Pig. Mines name is KEMO. lol

  • Dude, that's a hairless guinea pig.

  • The old huletts in Cleveland were awesome, especially watching them moving. I had no idea how rare they were until they were gone.
    Read more

  • wow. the quality and color of these photos make me feel as if they were taken yesterday!
    Read more

  • Holee shit! Amazing quality photographs, detail AND composition wise... Must see
    Read more

  • Wow - great find. I am definitely not used to seeing pictures from that era in color. I really would have thought they were from later on until I started seeing the cars and the clothes.
    Read more

  • I believe the one picture is from Sandusky, Ohio. Look at the top left and you can see the roller coasters at Cedar Point. I may be incorrect but Sandusky has the N&W rail system and I don't think Cleveland did.
