He was the shit, most Brits agree if they're over 40!

Imagine a village that takes 7 hrs by dirt road, a boat ride and a walk of 2 hours to reach. Lamps and fires are sustainable because people can understand, maintain, and fix them.

The answer to poverty is not fancy engineering and technology. It's understanding the context of the problem.

Potential energy and LED's are a great idea... but why do people have to spend a weeks worth of food on your plastic device?

Go back and redesign this with every day items, a rope, a pulley, cogs maybe something as a fly wheel. Make it open source.

What about lights on the night side?


Maybe if you are in the shadow of the earth on a crescent moon, and the sun is directly behind the earth....but even then, the sun would STILL most likely wash out the meagre light produced by street lamps and buildings.

A dildo! A bong! No, wait... a squid! Oh, I see, it's a person. The Heat Miser! No, Elvis! I know... it's Lincoln! Yep, there's his beard, alrighty. Wait a sec... that ain't Lincoln. Hmmm... Chuck Norris? Wait, what the hell is that thing? A bunny? One of those headless dudes from Serious Sam? What is he wrapping... around... Sumo wrestler! Headless Sumo wrestler! He's leaning against a cactus! Nope, he's TIED to the cactus for some reason. Now he's... I have no idea what that is, but it looks like it would make a cool lamp.

"Hey there lamp, that's a *nice shade!"

err, what was powering the street lamps in the back. 0_o

"Light objects" and "lamps", also "interaction between product and human". This is a plant.

How about knocking over that lamp?

I only see one problem with this. He looked around for traffic & pedestrians, used his door as an obstruction to some observation (except the falling doo doo observation), stopped his car... how about finding a shady spot? What is the point of going through all of that trouble to only then take a shit under a fucking street lamp? Though, in the RL I have seen much much much much much worse than this

Its not an ex police car. It still has the led lights mounted on either side of the third brake lamp.

hopefully these pigs get some street justice and get hung on street lamps to show other cops what happens when you fuck with people's rights

This is precisely why our helicopter is equipped with heat lamps and doesn't drop the eggs until 1 hour before hatching.

The only problem with HAL, is that, well we all know he looks like he is actually a street lamp sticking out of a Atari 2600...

I had to say it. Not fear inducing exactly.

(But, that was the point...)

that lamp genome generator looked cool.
