Powerless Automatic Wooden Gullwing Gate

newtboy says...

Kind of.
Real cattle guards require a pit below them so the animals can see their legs will fall through. This doesn't have that. Cows can be fooled with just white lines across the road. Some animals see better, so some animals would never try to cross the lines, but some would. Having the fence there discourages them from trying, since it's just more fence why bother (said the sheep). Maybe this field is used by differing animals that need different barriers, and this gate fits all the bills?

That makes the gate even more surpufluos. Most cattle grids dont have fences or gates over them, and they keep the cattle inside and the roads gate-free. This gate is cool from an engineering standpoint, but I dont know what sort of animal its supposed to keep in(or out). an animal that would be light and agile and fearless enough to step on the grid without opening it(like a cat) could easily also traverse that fence. Animals heavy enough to open the gate wouldnt cross a gateless grid either..

Pole Vaulting with Allison Stokke

oohlalasassoon says...

Pole vaulted in high school. I sucked. Another guy, who sucked a bit more had his pole break in 4 pieces. His momentum kept him going into the pit so no big deal. It's not very uncommon, or at least it didn't used to be. Poles definitely have a shelf life and I'm pretty sure the policy at our school was to use poles until they broke.

I would be too afraid that the pole will snap.

Epic Crazy Plastic Ball Prank!

Sepacore says...

We have an empty rock-pool feature in the entrance to one of our warehouses. We've been in discussions on what to do with it for a couple of months. Some silly idea's are to get the water feature going again, or fill it with plants, or have a lighting display. My proposal has been to fill it with ball-pit balls.

The ball-pit idea has a lower running cost, than the other 3 ideas.
The lights and plants have already been rejected.
Water is a slip hazard, rejection is immanent.
My idea has not yet been rejected. Padding modifications are cheap, already have the quotes.

We are still in discussions.
There WILL be balls!

(also, not a joke)

Maynard of TOOL talks about the "Fan Incident"

SquidCap says...

You obviously have never performed and have some moron jump on stage where stumbling in the wrong pile of amps will cause thousands of euros worth of damage and possibly even dangering peoples lives. You come up on stage uninvited, be prepared to get slammed to the ground and thrown off the venue. The people on stage are there doing their job, you don't let people wonder in behind cash registers in a bank and expected a friendly treatment. You stumble on my stage and you will be flying back to the pit and i don't give a flying fuck if you hurt yourself. I've done it and will do it again and i'm the most docile person you can meet, i have never hit anyone in my life and i've worked as a bouncer...

This is totally different from situations where a fan is invited on stage or that part of performance is to get few people dancing there, then it's MY responsibility so you or others wont get hurt. Come uninvited and you are trespassing and a serious security threat and will be dealt with ASAP..

Oh poor babies. How dare a fan go up on stage. That's never happened before. His attitude about the whole thing and Rogan's stink. They are tools.

"Slap Her": Children's Reactions

BBC Reporter Standing Next to Burning Opium

gorillaman says...

"Burning behind me is eight and a half tonnes of heroin, opium, hashish and other narcotics which have been stolen from their rightful owners and destroyed in an act of vandalism so tremendous it amounts to a crime against humanity.

In this much larger pyre lie the smouldering corpses of those responsible. After witnessing the execution of their spouses and children, their skin was carefully flayed from their bodies, their eyes and genitals were removed and their bones were slowly ground into powder."

(Cut to footage of thousands of terrified people being herded toward a gigantic concrete pit. Bulldozers force them over the edge as the narration continues:)

"Those who enter first die quickly. Eventually their bodies cushion the fall of those behind, who are suffocated and crushed in their turn by the weight of ever more flesh."

(Cut to the pit being capped and sealed, the cries of those still alive inside are abruptly silenced. Zoom out to reveal dozens more exactly alike beside it; further to show the vast complex of huts and barbed wire fences, train lines and guard towers built to accommodate the multitude who pour in every day.)

"Each pit has a capacity of one million. There are sixty here and this is the correction centre of just one minor country. Thousands more are under construction worldwide."


Maybe he got so high he saw a better world. Of course he couldn't stop giggling.

F1 Pit Stop Explained

oritteropo says...

This is a few years old, since refueling has been eliminated the pitstops now get down to only a few seconds... 10 seconds would count as disasterously slow.

See this one from last year for instance *related=http://videosift.com/video/F1-Pit-Stop-Perfection
