“Police investigating innapropriate comments” … it’s enough to make you weep …

I really do wonder what the hell this country is turning into sometimes …

“Inappropriate comments” left on a Facebook tribute site for dead a Norfolk teenager are being investigated by police.

Maisie Baxter, 13, was found dead at her home in Trowse, near Norwich, at about 17:50 GMT on Saturday.

Norfolk Police are [...]

Imperial March like you never heard it before – this is utterly amazing …

Take one Faraday cage jumpsuit and a few million volt, modulated Tesla Coil and you get this downright awesome rendition of Imperial March – the sound here is all from the spark modulation : _ _

Some people have all the best toys like this mini-gun filled with tracer rounds mounted on a helicopter. Only in America!

Stick a General Electric GAU-17/A minigun on a helicopter, fill it with pretty tracer rounds and have a blast – the shots from the air with the red tracer looking a lot like liquid fire.

Half decent soundtrack too

Now, where did I put my helicopter [...]

Is a US-Iran war inevitable?

There is a lot of prodding and poking of Iran from all sides these days and the MSM is not a very good guide, what with all the recycled government propaganda, but at least we are free to read excellent opinion from outside and make our own minds up as is the case with [...]

Economists and Einstein

Amongst the comments on a very readable ZeroHedge article on the future of Greece and the somewhat underhand Germans (the video of the German Finance Minister in the article demonstrating that it is indeed all politics) comes this little gem :

Italian State Police Lamborghini Gallardo – just don’t laugh too hard now …

After getting to the end of the photo strip, the only thing I could think of (whilst trying not to laugh like a drain) was the line from The Blues Brothers – Does the cigarette lighter (still) work?

When your mortar looks like it needs a dose of viagra – run away ….

Military hardware looking much more like military floppyware – the way the projectile sort of flops out is nearly as funny as the delayed running away of all surrounding troops …

I assume the camera was tripod mounted or perhaps the cameraman didn’t notice the army retreating in an undignified [...]

Ok – how close did these cars actually get – I am thinking millimeters …

I have watched this many tens of times and I still can’t work out how it didn’t end in a pile of mangled scrap :
