Palin shoots moose.
Cheney shoots his friends in the face.
Putin shoots a friggin' tiger and saves a t.v. crew from being mauled FTW.

He doesn't strike me as someone who could run that far.

Oh yeah, but who lives closer to Russia?
Plus, she has had executive experience!
Maybe you didn't know, but Alaska is the biggest state in the country BY FAR! She was governor of the BIGGEST STATE!

We can smash protons together at near light speed in hopes of resolving the grand unified theory, but still no personal jetpacks! I was promised jetpacks! Why not put 8,000 physicists to work on something I can use!

She handled that really well.

One for the books.

Be afraid.

Vice-President of WHAT!?! Really!?!

The right wing talking heads are suggesting straight-faced that Palin's 21-month governorship in Alaska and 2-terms as mayor of Wasilla (not to mention her time on the PTA) compares favorably to Obama's preparation to lead the free world. She has "more executive experience than Obama and Biden combined."

Give me a break. Are Americans really this stupid? The conservative base is energized by a hockey-mom-would-be-president.

4. The driver at fault comes out holding his head, and some guy in an orange shirt comes over, talks to him, shuts his passenger side door and runs off.
seems to me that the white car was at fault, he ran that red really bad



Yep... my mistake.

Same reaction... that is the scariest thing I think I have ever watched, only slightly less discomforting than the famous highwire fall one of the Wallendas in Puerto Rico.

I keep watching it... and I still can't figure out some of the reactions. I don't know if it would be better if it were clearer so we could tell what is going on... I think I prefer not being able to tell:

1. The main pedestrian at the median walks casually away, and stands within 5 feet of where he was for almost the entire clip, even as the car is flipped back over. He seems to be working at a different speed than everyone else. (wtf!?)
2. As far as I can tell, the pedestrian who narrowly escapes death on the right curb never returns to the scene. (wtf!?)
3. After the crash, some guy turns left into traffic going the wrong way, hops the median, parks, and seems to hang out at his car a half-block away. (wtf!?)
4. The driver at fault (edit... you all know who I mean, probably not at fault, had the green light, but maybe should have looked before proceeding through the intersection) comes out holding his head, and some guy in an orange shirt comes over, talks to him, shuts his passenger side door and runs off. (wtf!?)
5. The white car on the left side pulls to a stop right in the middle of the road instead of pulling to the side, oblivious to the bus behind him trying to pull around. (wtf!?)

Please... add more oddities. This video fascinates me.

Since we can no longer use waterboarding and other interrogation tactics deemed inhumane, perhaps this recording will suffice as a replacement.

The instrument is called a variometer. It measures altitude and change in altitude... when it beeps it means he is going up (in a thermal). Higher pitched beeps mean faster gains in altitude. It allows a pilot to find lift and stay up (for hours, all day in good conditions).

It blows my mind that a 17-year-old kid could work this out on his own. I would have no concept of where to begin... mind boggling.

I had a similar idea when I was 7 or 8.

New York (and other major metropolitan area) skyscrapers could be connected by a network of waterslides that allowed quick access up or down Manhattan. Office attire may need to be rethought, and perhaps in winter it would be more of a luge, but same idea.

Need to go uptown but can't afford the taxi, change into your trunks and onto the uptown express tube slide you go!

Colombian kids have it made!
