Mythbusters pulled the phonebooks apart -- but they needed to rig them to two military tanks driving in opposite directions in order to do it. Stephen's right: it took close to 8000 pounds of force before they gave way.

"Over 8000 animals saved on the front lines from puppy mills, hoarders, disasters, and other cruelty cases."

Yeah, they do lot's of good, but 8000 (in a year?!?) hardly compares to the 3-4 million cats and dogs HSUS claims are killed in shelters every year. This just seems like so much damage control after some recent, widely-reported negative publicity. Yes, some could see the incident as indicative of the need for more funding/donations, but I think most people, like myself, saw it as callous and completely unnecessary. Any desire I may have to give to HSUS is tempered by knowing they employ such people, although, to be fair, employees are often hamstrung by intractable policy (as HSUS claims was the case in this incident). Still, shit like that just pisses me off.

It's common for the baby to instantly stop crying. Something tells me that babies (or neo-people as they like to be called) still have the survival instinct of hiding when the wolves are around.

i doubt it's survival instinct. It's more about hearing an unusual sound, because how else would you explain this



According to that vid, it's the hertz of the sound that is important--the range between 6000~8000 hertz is similar to the sounds the baby heard inside the womb and therefore has a calming effect.

My own experience as a new parent, though, is that any loud sound will do. Our six-month old hates getting her diaper changed and cries whenever we put her down to do so. We found out that by repeatedly making any sort of loud sound (clapping hands, ringing a bell, stomping on the floor, etc.) we can keep her from freaking out long enough to get the diaper changed. She seems to be too distracted trying to figure out where the sound is coming from to notice the diaper change. But if we stop making the sound in the middle of the diaper change, all bets are off.

AND the dumbass cameraman walked in FRONT of a car doing that... yeah, that'd go well if it suddenly launched.
Absolute wastes of space these people. Anyone who thinks that destroying their $600 tyres after 8000 miles is a sane thing to do is an a-grade retard.
If you're looking for the type of people who contribute the most to our world's resources being destroyed, allow me to present exhibit A.
Hope that utterly destroyed your car dick.



Actually, I am speaking English. I understand, it's hard for you provincial outposts of the empire to correctly spell everything

Tyres? TYRES?

Of course, you could always just build a tiny house yourself for whatever you think it should cost.


i call mine a shed and it costs less than 1500 dollars. the trouble with "green" technology is its retarded expensive

im sure if you had that same house, but had a regular ass toilet, a regular ass stove, a regular ass fridge, a regular ass heat/ac unit, and regular ass lights, windows, doors and everything else, itd probably run ya 5000-8000 dollars. you'd be an asshole for having a house with no green technology (god forbid!!) but youd be an asshole with a house that costs less than a dirtbike


......having said that, this house is still rad tho

I think people think they just go up into the sky and disappear. While I can see that it's an incredible visual spectacle, all of those things are going to come down somewhere and cause such a massive mess. It's just pretty littering, and just as wrong as ugly littering.


Sorry, Littering is only a first world problem.
