“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 : _ _

Damn … I really need to look into the larger versions as that looks like damned good fun [...]

The great Irish landfill treasure hunt or “there be moonrock in them thar’ hills …”

image credit BBC – article here

Expect hordes armed with shovels to descend on Finglas landfill dump in Dublin as the masses discover that a piece of Aplollo 11 moonrock worth around $5 million is hidden somewhere under the rotting detritus.

Via The BBC (and a hat tip to Mr Raccoon) [...]

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 this one of the best crashes in film?

For technical excellence, the subway crash scene from the 2009 film The Knowing can’t be too far off the best yet : _ _

The commuters hitting the train windscreen at around 1:02 to 1:05 is a neat, if somewhat gruesome touch I [...]

Pictorial Interlude – a stunt gone wrong, librarian humour, waitrose newspaper failure and a pretty sunset in a lightbulb ..

The following looks rather painful and definitely not what was intended, although I am not exactly sure what they did intend :

Librarians do have a sense of humour after all :

I think someone should have considered what Heston Bloominghell’s new bun creation looked like when stacked up or maybe Waitrose [...]

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 :

Einstein dies and goes to heaven only to be informed that his room [...]

Pictorial Interlude – Grandpa’s thoughts on gap years, stoned granny, how to be a god, atheists and wtf is that?

An eclectic selection from the amusing to the bizarre :

Grandpa’s thoughts on gap year travel :

Possibly explaining grannies behaviour after a romp in the weed field – note loud dress and comfortable footwear whilst skipping through the ganga :

An idea on how to become worshipped and all powerful :

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 [...]

Pictorial interlude – Disney, Firemen and a mysterious barman.

Hello, Mr. Raccoon is back from a little break just for this one post because I will be gone again for some time. But I will try to post whilst I’m away doing my Raccoon business. Anyways…

Being a little metalhead that I am then right now I wish that the fairytale characters [...]

Coming out of Iran soon – the Russian Navy P-270 Sunburn

In amongst a very interesting article over at ZeroHedge on what may play out soon enough in the Straights of Hormuz, the following video caught my attention due to the novel launch control manoever shown around 00:15 to 00:20 – pretty neat I think. _ _ I just wish I had chosen Aeronautical engineering [...]

Don’t like big government and high taxes? The new view of extremism courtesy of the FBI.

An interesting ramping up of what governments consider extremism from ZeroHedge :

Just when we thought the US could not sink any further in its usurpation of civil rights, here comes the FBI to advise all those who tend to think that the broken economic model of the past century is the cause for [...]

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 :

Or was it somethign airbourne crossing the intersection?

Pictorial Interlude – Toilet roll psychoanalysis and a close escape …

Kindly provided by Mr Raccoon whilst on manoeuvres, remember to judge your host when you find yourself in another’s bathroom :

And, if you ever find yourself making a complete mess of the shitter at a party, pray for Satanists …
