Are our children prepared??

Are Violent Video Games Adequately Preparing Children For The Apocalypse?

Lyle Lanley came came by my place of business looking for investors for an interstate hydrogen superhighway. For only $20,000 you can invest in cool looking photoshop mock ups and 1950's Popular Science concept drawings. I snapped some pictures with my phone that I have here but they have high resolution versions at their website.

I don't want to get to cynical about this, it does look cool. And if it were made I would ride it and and maybe even get an MRI while going to Chicago.

MRIs on the Go!

You can find more information on this @ hydrogensuperhighway.com

Weird but cool.

Is We Is...or Is we Isn't?

A dope rap about gettin' a prison.

Dog Rides Bicycle On Japanese TV!

Out of Touch Rep. Mocks Bicycles as Alternate To Cars

Republican representiatve McHenry laughs at the bicycle as a replacement for an automobile, thus making an ass of himself. Many people around the country in fact DO use their bicycle as their main form of transportation and I am one of them. The use of bicycles should be promoted by the government for many reasons, an other example of politician being out of touch with the real world.
