The one that kills me is the pickup truck on top of the ferrari in the garage. How the hell did that happen and did the owner commit suicide after seeing it?

Anonymous Czar said...

the second pic in the "tanks are not invincible" piece is not of a tank, but of a self propelled howitzer... The British AS-90 Braveheart, if I'm not mistaken (though, self propelled artillery is not my speciality).

Anonymous Nervous Spy said...

Yeah, but 'Self Propelled Artillery Pieces aren't invincible' is just not as catchy and sexy

Either some people are VERY bad drivers, or some greater power has an interesting sense of humor.

How about both?

Hmmmm...a lot of those smell of Photoshop to me.

Anonymous Joel Fagin said...

Nah, I don't think so. They're very well done if they are and, ultimately, this sort of thing does happen - plus everyone has camera phones these days.
Coincidences do happen. That's why we have a word for them.

the guy in the third tanks pic looks like he knows he won't be military much longer.

Just about a month and a half ago, I was changing freeways when I noticed that the people in the lane I was merging into were driving really slowly. So I look to see what's up and in front of the lead car is... a wheel, rolling along. Okay. I make the merge and keep my eyes open. I see in the rear view mirror that the wheel makes it safely to the shoulder rather than falling over and creating a hazard.

So I'm driving down the road and FIVE MILES LATER I see a pickup pulled off to the side of the road minus one rear wheel. Did they not notice?

___  
Blogger B. Durbin said...

No... wait... it was nine miles, not five. I clocked it the next day, out of curiosity.

the picture on "crowded" section, the first one, was taken in Indonesia, I'm sure. It's a usual thing in Indonesia to crowd up a vehicle, usually when they're going together to some place. Soccer competition for instance.

The pic of the crowded mini.. The girl stood up to the left of the middle stood up dude with her right arm in the air.. NICE TITS.

Anonymous Anonymous said...

actually it's not a Mini, it's a Ziguli (Lada 2101)...
Nice tits, anyway

Anonymous Anonymous said...

The pickup/Ferrari accident has a Snopes entry. The gist of it is some kid was driving, lost control, and got launched through the garage door after hitting something in the front yard of the home.

  • Check Tatra T77:

    The world's first serially produced aerodynamic car with a rear-mounted air-cooled engine was introduced to the press on March 5th, 1934, in Prague. The T77 was a real sensation, overtaking the world's motor car industry by several decades

  • This place is incredible, havent been there since I was a child, but its one of those places that really sticks with me.
    Read more

  • Yeah, the Mont St-Michel IS definitely a place to visit, especially at dawn and/or dusk.
    I've been there three or four times I think, but as I grew up, my vision of the Mont changed drastically.
    It's huge and at the same time so confined, but each time mind blowing. Also lately they installed new lightings at the base of the abbaye, they look marvelous.

    Oh and you can sign up for walks starting on the shore, that leads you through the bay to the Mont. You have to be guided cause it's a common place known for its quicksands. But it's really worth it.

  • Hmm, glad you liked my photo (two below the one with the moon). Weird to stumble upon it here though!

  • That's an amazing castle.
    I can only imagine how romantic a walk on the shore would be.
