About the gorilla, bokito isn't a vicious gorilla. The woman he attacked, vistited him serveral times a week and spent most of the time staring at him, thinking that bokito liked her.
It is well known that when you stare in to an animals eye's it freaks them out (that's why cats always seem to go to the people who don't like cats, because they DON'T look at them).
She also thought that when bokito showed his teeth, he was smiling at her, while it actually is a sign of agression or anger.

@ Nils
How you said it freaks Animals out when you look at them... Wel, funny thing is, here in Belgium, lots of humans become very agressive as well when you stare at them :( I lost count how many people got extremely angry because I looked at them in a "wrong" way at a party or on the streets... I guess you know what kind of people I mean ;-)

the "Nazi Sub" (subs don't extend their right arm;)) is not a submarine...
It is the rarely known VS-5, an experimental prototype of a mostly-submerged vessel. It could not dive, but was to test an experimental hydrodynamic hull shape.
Possible applications would have been as a motor torpedo boat, but the german navy wasn't even interested in the prototype.

"As the Cold war progressed they were getting bigger and deadlier", these 2 Russian submarines are the O.S.C.A.R class, built in Sevmash Shipyards, about 50 miles away from Arcangel.

The first Soviet nuclear sub wasn't K-19 (it was third). First was K-3, and it lived mostly uneventful life. Also, there's only one Oscar-class sub. The one near the beach is Typhoon/Akula-class, AKA Project 941 -- the biggest subs ever built.

To anonymous: Folks in the US complain about petrol prices because the average work commute is 27 miles and the average shopping center is 3 miles drive. Tag on getting kids to and from after school activities, and it is very common for someone to drive 70+ miles a day.

To anonymous #2: Yes, and driving all that mileage with an SUV which guzzles fuel like there's no tomorrow doesn't help. You probably know that, at least in common stereotypes, EVERY US citizen drives an SUV. (That is to say that I don't know how many actually do)

We pay 1.5 € per liter, but here SUVs are popular like never before. Some even call for higher gas prices.
Never mind, I can drive 60 miles per gallon, or even more if I want to with my little four seater.
The Smart has the best gas mileage of all german cars, but Japanese Cars (not only hybrid cars, but also not sold in the US) need by far less gas :-).

If more people in the US supported electric cars, like the Zenn, then we would not be as dependant on oil. I'm not talking about those little golf cart things, but real cars that people can drive on the streets. These cars' cost per gallon of "fuel" is equivilent to about 300 miles per gallon for a normal car.

The waterfalls in Indiana Jones were not CGI. The boat was superimposed over real footage of Iguacu Falls on the Brazil/Argentina border (all the filming was done of the Brazil side). They filmed two drops where the river is actually stepped, so it looks like there are two falls. The third part was simply filmed at a different section of the same waterfall, which stretches 2 miles in width. Pretty well done camera trickery, actually.

The actual name of this wonderful waterfall is Caída del Ángel, not Caida Angel. Two different meanings. Please pay respect to the original names.

Ernesto kind of misses the point. The name of the waterfall in Spanish is Salto Angel, nothing to do with a "caida".
And you wouldn't get wet if you kayaked to the base of the falls as the closest navigable river is a two hour walk away from the Mirador, or observation point, where the majority of tourists are taken and which itself is quite far from the base of the falls.

The Ronald McDonald horror drawing is by an artist that goes by *sachsen and lives in the Philippines. I just know this because I know their deviantart.com page. http://sachsen.deviantart.com/
Ronald McDonald is horror art anywhere. We had one just like that (ok, not that pose) on a bench outside the McDonald's in Wal-mart and and a mother was trying to get her child to sit next to it so she could get a picture, and the child wanted nothing to do with it. That wide, fake grin... those empty, staring eyes... *shudder* I should have taken a picture for the nightmare playground series.
The house is called the "six shell bubble house/ “Bulle“ à 6 coques" by french architect Jean maneval. Some 30 were made and located in a village in the French Pyrennes, I believe that a few have been rescued and renovated. They were easy to transport, breaking into six parts, and being designed to be transported on one truck. It is one of my favourite pieces of architecture. See www.designboom.com/eng/archi/maneval.html - 3k
Hey cool. Thanks for blogging my rocket. I got a lot of inspiration for my retro space stuff from this very blog so it means a lot to me. There's a few of us having fun with the theme.
Great, Gambort! We love your LEGO creations. Send us a tip when something cool comes up to feature in next installment of this article.
the lady on the bag in the ronald mcdonald picture is the president of the philippines.
The turtle monster is Gamera, I believe the asparagus-squid thing is Viras.
I agree with tangle, the "regular" Ronald Mc Donald itself is creepy my two children never loved him either.
Sorry Avi, I only just saw your response. You should check out Brother's Brick for cool LEGO models. We do our best to keep up with the coolest stuff out there.
