Didnt Evan Almighty build that Ark replica?? ;)
The people of the bus are not Spanish students, but the driver is.
And the multiple klein bottle is five times one inside other, not triple variety one.
What a boring little clip. Annoying girl complaining the whole time, and the bus lurched once or twice, BFD.
Yeah Evan Almighty built the Ark, but it was a very average CG reconstruction. it stood out like a sore thumb to me.
the bus vid was scary, made me laugh but i hate heights.. doh!
The photo of the stone Buddhas is exactly like one that I saw outside the Kiyomizu-dera temple in Kyoto Japan
I am not sure why the shot with the head-dress would be 'shopped. People do wear there for reasons other than 'fun'.
"150 cubits long, 30 cubits high and 20 cubits wide"
Riiiiiight. What's a cubit?
Grants to the busdriver, having to put up with passengers like that.
Grants to the poster of this clip as well, for never being outside of his hometown -flatland- as well.

cubit is 45 cm.
Hi Avi, one of the covers from "vintage pulp fiction" is actually a recent artwork by artist Bradley W. Schenck. You can see it on his deviantART page here:
http://bws.deviantart.com/art/The-Toaster-With-TWO-BRAINS-88985869
Also, his name is on the artwork, as well as "2008".
Nice post! love the blog. Looking forward to the continuation of posts about countries.
I visited the Ark replica website and found the following quote: "The original Ark was 140 cubits long, and 23 cubits wide and 14 cubits high, This Ark is 70 cubits long, 9,5 cubits wide and nearly 13 cubits high"
So its not an actual-size replica like you posted.
This replica of the ark is only 1/4th of the ark in the Bible. For some more pictures see: http://bijbelaantekeningen.blogspot.com/2007/04/de-ark-van-noach.html
The picture with the headdress is not likely photoshopped - the person on the right is Alberta Premier Peter Lougheed who held office from 1971 to 1985. I believe the middle person was Ralph G. Steinhauer - the first Native Lieutenant-Governor of Alberta from 1974-1979. As such and in ceremonial occasions he was entitled to and would wear headdress (the Windsor Uniform having been abandoned).
Anonymous said "Riiiiiight. What's a cubit?"
Excellent Bill Cosby callback.
"Whose gonna clean up that mess down there?!?"
fyi FENG its about 45.72 centimeters
( a cubit ) its what the Egyptians measured in.
the bus driver did not have to "put up" with that, he wasnt doing his job. If you were up there youd be freaking out too. When I went to barcelona spain they had cliff JUST like that one and it was incredibly scary. If I had any doubts about the driver id be yelling too.
About mistery Phot: I'll bet it is in Japan. Theese "parades" are common near Shrines and mounts.
