Guidelines







  • I used to avoid traffic jams on the tram railway with my XR600R too, back in... don't remember, I guess 1993? 94? I was always late to go to uni!
    Read more

  • That show on the last one is called "New Girl." Raising Hope is a different show.
    Read more

  • Mansion + McDonald's = McMansion!
    Read more

  • I feel compelled to mention that the McDonald's mentioned in this article is actually located on Long Island, in New York.
    Read more

  • Colani's designs are pure eye candy. Ever since I first saw his work in the old OMNI magazine years ago, I've drooled at his design genius. This has been no exception. In my humble opinion, only Syd Mead ranks with him. (Hint!)

    That...car? Van? The one in B/W next to the dune buggy? I want that one...badly! What's it called, and are any other pictures available?
    Read more

  • Eye candy, sure. Practical sense, not so much - IMHO, textbook "l'art pour l'art".
    Read more

  • The truck has a look-alike from the '80s TV series, "The Highwayman"

    As seen here:http://images.hemmings.com/wp-content/uploads//2009/09/highwaymanstealth_02_resized.jpg

  • One of the things that has always struck me about Colani is that he seems not to recognize that the sun shines in a lot of places. The amount of sloped glass present in nearly every model would turn the interiors into furnaces. Also, while I'm all in favor of aerodynamic efficiency, it also results in lots of wasted interior space that cannot be used, long slopes with no headroom and no storage options. Sacrificing ergonomics for style is art, not design.
    Read more

  • I especially like the tanning printer, it's really compact, not to mention environmentally friendly! It doesn't use any cartridges either, although it'll be a problem if it's a cloudy day :/
    Read more

  • The bear image with Devils Tower is actually from the Native American story that explains why the outside is so roughly textured.
    Read more

  • There lived the Indians and their tribes were connected with the Indians lived there, their tribes were connected with nature so closely that the instincts lent form of sacrifice and cannibalism. And yet, it's great Mets.
    Read more

  • It reminds me of "Itabira" here in Brazil, although this one has some mountains around.

    You can google it for the images. I wasn't able to post a link here.
    Read more

  • ..Unbelieveable..
    Read more

  • Devils tower is pretty incredible. The native american tale of how the great butte grew from the ground is something worth reading.

  • Re: deadliest snakes — this is a pretty weak article, either uninformed or sensationalized. Deadliest does not mean most venomous, nor most intimidating. It means "causing the most deaths." The snakes that cause the most human deaths are: Russell's viper, Indian cobra, common krait, saw-scaled viper (these four primarily in South Asia and the Indian subcontinent), and puff adder (sub-Saharan Africa). None of these has particularly toxic venom, but they deliver large doses when they bite, and their habitat preferences and behavior bring them into frequent contact with many people. Given the nature of life in these regions, most people do not have access to modern medical care. The combination of these factors results in the large number of fatalities — many thousand per year in India alone. Deaths from all other species combined are so infrequent as to be statistically insignificant.

  • Just a note on the '7 billionth baby'. There is one, but we'll never know who it is. The UN agency on population admits that their figures for the world population are only an estimate, and are +/- 10 million, so the day could have come and gone already, or not quite be here yet, and so _every_ nation was encouraged to pic a '7 billionth baby'.
    Read more

  • The sign about life giving you lemons is based off a very entertaining and memorable quote from the videogame Portal 2.
    Read more

  • this was so awesome :) haha
    loved it!
    Read more

  • Pointless story, bro. Although the images were great until the last few "art" ones.
    Read more

  • There is an amazing pumpkin carving artist called Ray Villafane. I wonder if he has tried carving watermelons. Would love to see him have a crack at that.
    Read more

  • Andrewsarchus is not a Dog !
    but belong to family of Mesonychia
    there related to ,,,Sheep !

    you can say it "a sheep in wolf 's clothing"

  • Oh, how I hate animals dressed up... A dog in clothes is not a dog, it's something that our mind would like to see, cuteness and so on - bizarre.
    A dog looks like a dog - without clothes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQkBDiGg5jI
    Read more

  • 'This dog just caught something, but not entirely sure what? or he's just too intent to please'

    That dog is obviously a member of a South American Tribe:

    Or else he is holding a frisbee ;-)
