It's OK because - like all lorry drivers - he'll be leaving a safe gap between himself and the lorry in front...

I've had to personally pull the bleeding mangled body of a lorry driver - who was driving too close to the lorry in front when it braked - from his cab. He survived, but by luck alone.

Personally I think stuff like this is fantastic. I've got a simple little VW Polo and the ESP system is incredibly clever. It's nigh on impossible to get it to spin or do anything it shouldn't do.

Lots of people complain about stuff like this and say it takes control away from the driver, as if that's a bad thing. Computers are a hell of a lot better at it than humans!

When my cat was that age, he would be hyperactive all the time if he saw my eyes open. He would literally look at my eyes to make sure I was awake. So in order to get some reading or work done, I would fake nodding off and when Polo would look at me, he would think its nap time and nod off.

Seriously, why the hell would you wear a short sleeve polo when doing an experiment with liquid nitrogen?
You got the gloves but are exposing the forearms to all that splashback.

I'm pretty sure the liquid would vaporize before hitting your arm. Or at least that's what they're banking on...>> ^brycewi19:

Not just any emotion. @ChaosEngine is correct.

Definitely my favourite coffee video of all time. But I think she's showing a bit too much cleavage to be allowable on the Sift.>> ^dystopianfuturetoday:
Watch me render this conversation moot with a coffee related video that all rational people will recognize to be the best video; best not only in this contest, but in every contest from now to eternity and whatever may lie beyond. Lucky already has my address, so, nice work everyone, sorry to swoop in and win at the last minute. Oh yeah, I almost forgot to post the video:

I know... wtf I cant see the cleavage for that damned striped polo.

What is the point of this pool? No diving board, you can't do laps, no marco polo... I don't get it.


It saves space, its a refreshing retreat in the water on a hot day, it doubles as a beautiful patio, it increases the resale value of the house, it is just a nice feature to have when showing the house off.

Finally. I still sing this song while I am at work, from out of the blue.

Lyrics:



This one is for the boys with the boomin' system
Top down, AC with the coolin' system
When he come up in the club, he be blazin' up
Got stacks on deck like he savin' up

And he ill, he real, he might got a deal
He pop bottles and he got the right kind of build
He cold, he dope, he might sell coke
He always in the air, but he never fly coach

He a muthafuckin trip, trip, sailor of the ship, ship
When he make it drip, drip kiss him on the lip, lip
That's the kind of dude I was lookin' for
And yes you'll get slapped if you're lookin' ho

I said, excuse me you're a hell of a guy
I mean my, my, my, my you're like pelican fly
I mean, you're so shy and I'm loving your tie
You're like slicker than the guy with the thing on his eye, oh

Yes I did, yes I did
Somebody please tell him who the eff I is
I am Nicki Minaj, I mack them dudes up
Back coupes up, and chuck the deuce up

Boy you got my heartbeat runnin' away
Beating like a drum and it's coming your way
Can't you hear that boom, badoom, boom
Boom, badoom, boom bass?

He got that super bass
Boom, badoom, boom
Boom, badoom, boom bass
Yeah that's that super bass

Boom, badoom, boom
Boom, badoom, boom, he got that super bass
Boom, badoom, boom
Boom, badoom, boom, yeah that's that super bass

This one is for the boys in the Polos
Entrepreneur niggas in the moguls
He could ball with the crew, he could solo
But I think I like him better when he dolo

And I think I like him better with the fitted cap on
{ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/n/nicki-minaj-lyrics/super-bass-lyrics.html }
He ain't even gotta try to put the mac on
He just gotta give me that look, when he give me that look
Then the panties comin' off, off, unh

Excuse me, you're a hell of a guy
You know I really got a thing for American guys
I mean, sigh, sickenin' eyes
I can tell that you're in touch with your feminine side, oh

Yes I did, yes I did
Somebody please tell him who the eff I is
I am Nicki Minaj, I mack them dudes up
Back coupes up, and chuck the deuce up

Boy you got my heartbeat runnin' away
Beating like a drum and it's coming your way
Can't you hear that boom, badoom, boom
Boom, badoom, boom bass?

He got that super bass
Boom, badoom, boom
Boom, badoom, boom bass
Yeah that's that super bass

Boom, badoom, boom
Boom, badoom, boom, he got that super bass
Boom, badoom, boom
Boom, badoom, boom, yeah that's that super bass

See I need you in my life for me to stay
No, no, no, no, no I know you'll stay
No, no, no, no, no don't go away

Boy you got my heartbeat runnin' away
Don't you hear that heartbeat comin' your way?
Oh it be like, boom, badoom, boom
Boom, badoom, boom bass
Can't you hear that boom, badoom, boom
Boom, badoom, boom bass?

Boy you got my heartbeat runnin' away
Beating like a drum and it's coming your way

@EMPIRE

You thought correctly, VW is indeed very common over here. But take out all the Golfs and Polos and what remains is either old and used, a company car or leased. Same for BMW, Audi and, to a lesser extent, Mercedes and Opel. We produce cars for others to buy, because we can't afford 'em anymore. The majority (>60%) of new middle class saloons made in Germany you see over here -- those are company cars.

well, yeah, I was going to mention the Polo and Golf (I actually had one of each. now I have a 12 year old mitsubishi carisma. unemployment is a bitch, and so is my wife's low salary).

But I really did think VW in general was rather common in Germany, even for middle class.

>> ^EMPIRE:

when you say "everything they build" do you mean that plant specifically or VW in general?

VW in general, at least in this country. Golf and Polo are borderline, but the rest ... adjusted for inflation, wages in Germany are on average 5.9% below the level of 1991. Can't afford a VW on that kind of dough, so it's Japanese/Korean/Romanian cars all the way.
