"Take a spare, dead keyboard that's identical to the victim's, remove the keys, fill the keyboard with dirt, and plant "cat" grass (from pet store), which is thick and grows fast. Then cover the keyboard in plastic and keep it in a sunlight. After 18 days, the grass had grown several inches and even uprooted a few keys." (Techrepublic)
As a fun fact, the Audi commercial is a remake of a similar commercial from 1986, both filmed in Kaipola, Finland. In both cases the car actually did climb the ski jump tower under its own power, albeit with necessary safety equipment. More here.
The gray (Audi?) convertible that almost fell into the river but was stopped on the small metal stairway was an accident in Zurich, Switzerland. The lady (sorry, but it's true) tried to change her shoes simultaneously while driving the car out of a parking space. The picture was in the local newspapers...
Women are said to be able to do many things simultanous... better than men... well...?
aqelqrThe photo of the white car with the green winged ball is a piece of artwork on Brick Lane in London. The street artist is D'Face according to an article in Sherman's Travel Magazine. Spring 2007 issue, page 55. It is actually not on street level as the photo makes you believe.
The one with the snowmobile bogged down in the water was probably because he slowed down. Notice how many tracks go in and out of the water. Believe it or not, snowmobiles will plane on the water and I've seen televised snowmobile races in the middle of summer on lakes...alls well until they slow down, then they sink.
The picture of Aalborg bus that rammed thru the back of the ferry has an additional joke: the blue freightship in the background has a name, but it's photoshopped. It says "et vaan osaa" which is finnish for "you just can't do it right, can you".
Why don't you arrange the site so it spawns a new web browser page instead of what it does now?
I don't really like having to keep hitting the back button to get back to your home page. Also, if you spawned a new page, I could open multiple links simultaneously and be loading the next item while I'm looking at the previous item.
Anonymous - thank you for this input... Opening links in new window is usually the user's choice, not designer's choice. You can set up your browser to do it automatically, or try tabbed browsing.
Anonymous, download Mozilla Firefox and press Ctrl in the same time you click: the link will be open in a new tab. Probably also ie7 does the same thing, dunno. Definitely in ie if you right-click you can select 'open in a new tab'. Hassle free, then you have just to close the tabs once explored the links
I've run some 4wd roads in the mountains of Colorado, and while the uphills might have been tough at 13 and 14 thousand feet elevations, let's just say I was really glad I wasn't driving. Scary stuff!!
FWIW, the bushducks.com one is not very wild at all. The camera is tilted and the horizon is at a 30 degree angle; look at the trees in the background or the rear end of the vehicle, which, if the camera is level, is suspended in an impossible manner.
A new spoof video making use of 2001: A Space Odyssey recently came out, and there's a mild amount of interest in the site itself: myiphonerevolution.com.
The video spoof itself is fun, but it would appear that there's an even more compelling reason to chec k the site out...
The guys who made the site are now calling for a contest for people to make their own viral videos!
