Twatter stuff ...

People power in one picture.

A very simple idea which the masses ought to wake up to … if only they could drag themselves away from the TV for a minute or two …

Thanks to Rego!

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 [...]

A new Norovirus vaccine – just don’t tell non-smokers how it is made …

Via The Torygraph, one that I am sure Leg-iron would have a lot of fun with (emphasis mine) :

The vaccine uses dummy virus cells grown in tobacco plants to immunise the body against the winter vomiting bug.

Rather than being injected, it is administered up the nose in the form of a powder [...]

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 [...]

Amusing Exam Answers – heavy metal edition

The following was spotted by one of The Waspsnest’s Estonian co-conspirators and should have received a mark at least for original thinking in a science exam :

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 :

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?

Postcard from Greece.

Via ZeroHedge, not much more needs saying I think :

Athens by Night – February 2012

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 [...]
