  • My parents have a hedgehog in their garden in Sheffield, they're funny little things! That Green Monster jet-powered car is pretty cool too.

  • The king of the 'BBC bird's eye' vids has got to be the Gos Hawk from a few years back... (possibly featured here, I can't remember - long time fan ;))...

    I liked it so much I mixed it with Star Wars :D

  • Wonderful! By the time I was a kid in the 70s in the UK the scene was very homogenous, it was all about the Bedford CF (as chosen by Banksy - and The KLF) - even a Ford Transit ice cream van was a relatively uncommon sight.
    Read more

  • (N)ice!! I lived for a few years in Utrecht, and often saw that cute icecream truck, it's right on the middle of a bridge below the Dom-tower. Supercool to see it here on DRB!

  • Those are some pretty sweet(lol) icecream trucks!
    Read more

  • Mr Whippy vans were common in Melbourne during the 1960s, but there must have been a dispute over naming rights. The local Mr Whippy became John Creamy (I think) but kept that pink and white colour scheme.
    There's still one rolling around Perth in pink and white today. I think he's stalking me - first I'd hear that damn Greensleeves around the neighbourhood at home, then he started cruising the industrial area where I worked. Would he go away if I bought an icecream?

  • yeah, nice picture, little bit kytchy, but nice, oh, not to many people know that the colors are not true....

  • Black Holes don't exist. They are only a theory.

  • Gravity is also just a theory.
    Read more

  • That black holes DON'T exist is also but a theory.

  • Beautiful pictures you've posted, It's all just so overwhelming .I get that feeling even when Im in the garden with my small telescope a tiny ant looking up at the sky and wondering whats out there.
    Read more

  • Mountain begone! Yield to the power of human ingenuity and the spirit of enterprise! Fist pump yeah!
    Read more

  • There's nobody living inside that stadium in Osaka - it's just an annual exhibit by the construction and real estate industries, like the Ideal Home show in London.

  • Sorry, but among the "Miniature Stirling Engines" ther is alos a vacuum engine (the big and the last picture, i.e. the one that looks a bit like a raygun)...

    P.s. Thanks for the blog..

  • Nice post Avi, but I am totally creeped out by that Wolf Spider and her babies!!!
    Read more

  • I actually removed one image, it was too gross. So now you only have one photo, instead of two :)

  • Awesome article! Never knew that Brazil and Israel had a space-program.

  • For the record, the bluesuiters are Frank Borman on the left and Jim Lovell on the right, and upside down in the middle is Tom Stafford.

  • A little-known fact: If you go by launch rate (i.e. how many craft are launched per unit time), the busiest spaceport in the world is Cape Canaveral in Florida.

    The second-busiest, however, is not on the list in this article at all. It's at Woomera, in South Australia.

  • My favorite is Hunter S. Thompson's "Debt Letter" that he sent to companies he owed money to. He insisted after reading it-many never contacted him again. Find it in "The Proud Highway" or at this link. http://darylburnett.wordpress.com/2009/01/13/hunter-s-thompson-the-debt-letter/

  • Read 'Dear Mr. Mackin' if you like this kind of stuff

  • There is a special irony because this page is appearing on my computer with Best Buy ads. Best Buy emphatically did not like being pranked when dozens of members of a guerrilla theater group showed up at one of their stores all wearing blue shirts and khaki pants. They didn't do anything just strolled around the store politely till security rounded them up and threw them out

  • I'd like to add Paul C. Rosa to the list. And while he tended to use his own name, the personalities he adopted and populated his fictional life with were no less than brilliant. While i've read most of the others, i believe Mr Rosa should top this list.
