There's a candidate for the Darwin Award in the first picture of the wheelbarrow BBQ!
First, the heat of the fire will most likely cause the wood frame to start smoldering or burst into flames. Second, the wheelbarrow is not stable and is likely to tip over. But the worst offense is the uncapped gas can in the background...

The drunken animals clip sounds suspiciously like the film "The Gods must be Crazy 2". The first film had the "myth" that rhinos stamp out fires!

The clip belongs to the film Animals are beautiful people, from the same director of TGMBC. It's a great film, but it's been known for a while that this scene and several others were actually staged and/or manipulated for dramatic effect.

The American Eagle is the remains of an F-104 Starfighter fuselage, an aircraft which was also powered by a J-79. What? No-one is impressed by a fact a brief google search would have revealed? Fine, be glad we're living in the future, rather than in the book-laden, internet-free past.

Thank you for publishing my pic and linking to my photo blog.
But you got a couple of things wrong.
The village is called "Planina v Lazu" and the mountain on the right looking down on it is "Slatna". The picture was taken from "Prvi Vogel" which is 2181m high.
Thanks again and be sure to check out more pics on my blog.

The pictures from holland aren't actually spiderwebs, but rather a protective covering created by caterpillars. They can cover entire trees and bushes in a dense white webbing to protect themselves from predators.

Gorgeous photos! Spiders absolutely fascinate me. My avatar is actually a picture I took of a Golden Orb Weaver on her web in our backyard. Orb webs are the prettiest, but also pretty are the sheetlike webs that the Funnel Spider makes. We currently have a Funnel Spider living near the frontdoor of our house that is starting to build a sheet, and it's slowly getting bigger. We won't be taking it down anytime soon. Our house is a spider-friendly area. :P Two years ago, we had a funnel spider build a sheet that covered half of our front door! Let's just say it made for a very interesting conversation piece. :P

This post just screams out for
A. R. Ammons's poem "Identity":
1) An individual spider web
identifies a species:
an order of instinct prevails
through all accidents of circumstance,
though possibility is
high along the peripheries of
spider
webs:
you can go all
around the fringing attachments
and find
disorder ripe,
entropy rich, high levels of random,
numerous occasions of accident:
2) the possible settings
of a web are infinite:
how does
the spider keep
identity
while creating the web
in a particular place?
how and to what extent
and by what modes of chemistry
and control?
it is
wonderful
how things work: I will tell you
about it
because
it is interesting
and because whatever is
moves in weeds
and stars and spider webs
and known
is loved:
in that love,
each of us knowing it,
I love you,
for it moves within and beyond us,
sizzles in
to winter grasses, darts and hangs with bumblebees
by summer windowsills:
I will show you
the underlying that takes no image to itself,
cannot be shown or said,
but weaves in and out of moons and bladderweeds,
is all and
beyond destruction
because created fully in no
particular form:
if the web were perfectly pre-set,
the spider could
never find
a perfect place to set it in: and
if the web were
perfectly adaptable,
if freedom and possibility were without limit,
the web would
lose its special identity:
the row-strung garden web
keeps order at the center
where space is freest (intersecting that the freest
"medium" should
accept the firmest order)
and that
order
diminishes toward the
periphery
allowing at the points of contact
entropy equal to entropy.

No, GOD NO! Zip ties are the bane of the industry. Too many twits yank down on them and kink the cables! Then every one and their mother wants to cut off the end of them, which turns them into little plastic razors! I can't even tell you how many scars I have from those things. Good god man.

Hey, good thing to note is those 'perfect' wiring jobs. there is such a thing as too perfect, and those are a good example. Proper structured cabling should not be perfectly parallel, combed, straight cables. Such an arrangement promotes crosstalk and impedes signals. cable bundles should be slightly lose, and allowed to weave a bit. They may look messy, but you'll have a significantly cleaner signal on your network.
Holy crap, did i actually LEARN something from my Data Communications course? oO

Ditto the earlier comment about the evils of zip ties. Use only on a permanent installation, and it's rare any wiring is going to be permanent.
For most applications I use velcro ties, they're a bit more expensive than zip ties, but you only have to buy them once. Write them off as a business expense. :)

@ james: Actually, Cat5/6 cables, as well as shielded coax/fibre/other waveguides are designed not to crosstalk with each other. Consider that a Cat5 has 4 pairs, each w/ different signals, and they don't have problems due to the architecture i.e., the twist in the pairs along with the opposing current creates a net 0 EM field, therefore no inducted voltage in another pair.
I also agree w/ Scott, I hate zip ties, although if I have to use them, I twist them off, which creates a smooth end. I hate them more due to the disposable nature of them...

For the record...yes they do make tin robots today. Although they're most likely made in China and considered "adult collectibles not suitable for young children".
In fact, in that first group of tin robot pictures in the bottom left corner is an gray R-1 robot produced about 10 years ago by Rocket USA. They still make versions of it today.

Got to click on that cosmonaut photo and see the whole set. One question though, did they bring the rocking chair into space with them and if so, why? If they didn't, and it was supplied by the chase team, you have to wonder, why bring a rocking chair to a ballistic reentry party, and 2, you bring a rocking chair but not a stretcher to get the 'naut onto the helo? The whole photo set just screams Estes backyard rocketry.
