What do you mean "obscure" ? Everybody knows this one! Well, except Americans.

Uhm.. *cult.. *obscure too

Fixed. Relevant segment starts at 4:00.

Hmm. Here's a better way to drink a Gin and Tonic - http://www.videosift.com/video/Polar-Exploration-Gin-Tonic

Videosift. Bringing you better and faster ways to commit suicide.

Raigen,

In case you were wondering why this gun is important and useful, take a look at the targets they used - the main usage for this gun is defensive - the threats it was designed to take out are incoming missiles (2:35) or an incoming explosive laden speedboat (Remember the USS Cole?).
This is called "active defenses" and helps save lives.

No vote for the asshole that is proud of beating his wife.

The method seems reasonable - why spend billions on trying to invent something to save the work of a Camry and a couple of grants?
But definitely upvote for the title...

It would have been funnier if it wasn't so true...

Cyberbeast - while the phrase "must be wiped from the pages of history" can conceivably be translated to not mean a call to destruction, it was not his only utterance on that subject - e.g. "Very Soon, Israel Will Be Purged From the Center of the Islamic World – and This is attainable' -

And marinara - your average telemarketer is just someone doing his job, not a state leader trying to destroy his country...

I was hoping to find a video of the steampunk treehouse to show what happens when steampunk people are less focused on computers, but no such luck...

Here are the stills, though: http://www.steamtreehouse.com/page28/page28.html

CrushBug, Ant is right - burning 2000 gallons of propane is not environmentally friendly. However, it does look awesome.
BTW - that explosion was only 1000 gallons - the other propane tank raptured and only sprayed a jet of burning gas instead of exploding...

BM is not about helping the environment. It's about self expression...

Mink - I understand what you're saying and I won't rehash the guns argument, but comment about the arms of airport security - http://www.emergency-management.net/airterror_shoot.htm

The second clip is because when somebody IS behind a bin, and you emptied your gun at the bin in excitement, you don't want to be left unarmed...

Mink - I'm not supporting legalizing guns. I'm just not blaming guns for what the kids in this video did. If the policeman didn't take away the guy's knife, he would have knifed him, incidentally much more likely to kill the policemen then the actual shots... The problem is that they think it is ok to take someone's life. That's why I referred to those stabbing incidents - in most places in the world, even when criminals carry guns and assault rifles, they will only use them in "organized crime assassinations" - not on bystanders or on crime victims.
But I can point you at a place where people threw someone off the roof because they disagreed with his political opinion.
