Have you seen many Bollywood movies? If they involve any special effects, they are usually at about the level of sophistication seen here, or somewhat worse. They are breathtakingly bad. They are old Godzilla movies bad. They are 70's Saturday morning TV shows bad. The catering budget exceeds the special effects…

I believe "Fail" may be a bit strong, unless you happen to be a major weapons system designer. While an electric drive system may be a nice idea, it seems the parameters for this tank were to stuff as much tech as possible in a reliable, easily maintained machine, in order to level the playing field for some 3rd world…

Shit like this just means the next guy will get real rounds and/or a severe beat down.

This is funny if you know the area. 15 years ago it was nothing but farm land, and a few farms that kept Arabian horses (that is part of the reason why the income average is so high.). It has lots of twisty county roads that have not caught up with development. I used to drive through there every night at excessive…

Her: "I thought you would like to know - I'm not wearing any underwear."
Him: "I know, because I'm wearing your knickers. They feel divine!"
Her: "Is that my scarf as well?"

Her: "I gonna get medieval on your ass."

Him: "I find you so much more attractive when you dress like my mates from the boarding school dear."
Her: "Lovely car by the way. But I can't help think that your fathers money would have been better spent on a set of balls for you."

Anyone who has spent any time on any automotive forum should know by now that the leading cause of accidents is letting a "Friend" drive their car. This is especially true if your car is expensive, or the accident particularly stupid. "Friends" are the leading cause of previously nice cars being wrapped around trees,…

Quick question - how long should I wait to rinse the bleach from my eyes? Because it does not seem to be helping me un-see these pics, and the videos (oh God, the videos. And the sound...).

I bet it burned his ass to have the government take over his production lines in WW II, since he was a bit of a fan of Hitler. Sure, he put on a brave face and said he did it for his country, but his ideology was closer to Hitler's than Roosevelt's.

The most depressing part of this story is that my last 3 cars have cost less than the equivalent of what people paid for a Model T in 1915, which was a little over $10k in today's dollars. I am currently driving an e46 330ci that I paid $8500 for in 2009. I really don't want to pay more than $10k for a car, since I…

I'm sure the rebels are taking refuge near the border, in the hopes that this exact thing would happen. It can't be easy to avoid crossing an invisible barrier like a national border when you are trying to engage rebels on the ground. I imagine it is easy to lose track of where you are when you are flying at 500+…

I will swear to God to my dying day that this story is true, even though many people find it hard to believe - when I was in engineering school, I did a work for school credit job at a company that made packaging machinery (I ended up being hired as an engineer there after school as well). I worked on final assembly…

You would be amazed at how little there is under your skin to attach your face to your skull, and all of the skin on top of your head as well. It can come off rather easily. I worked in the printing industry as an engineer for large scale printers. Occasionally, pictures would circulate around of some woman with very…

I got stuck with an HHR as a rental car on one of my annual vacations to the Big Island of Hawaii, because they were completely out of the car I reserved, and it was the only thing available above the tiny econobox size, and less than a giant sedan or SUV. I took it after negotiating a 50% discount. I figured I would…

If I am the owner, and therefore responsible for restoring it and keeping it maintained and running, then the BMW 2002 is cooler.
If someone else owns it, and is responsible for restoring it and keeping it maintained and running, then the Alpha Romeo is cooler. :)

Nice attempt to divert attention away from your own dubious statement that Al Qaeda "did something TEN YEARS AGO and half a world away...." For someone demanding "Facts", you are not serving as a very good example. You completely failed to acknowledge the fact that the majority of my post contained actual facts about…

I mentioned an Al Qaeda connection on Gizmodo, and was told I was spreading crazy theories. The truth is that several Al Qaeda attacks in Asia have been masterminded and designed by two Malaysian explosives experts.
Also, Kuala Lumpur was the site of the final high level meeting for the attacks on the USS Cole, and for…

I am not the one pushing a possible Al Qaeda connection. I am simply repeating what I have heard and read when speculation about this being a terrorist act enter the discussion. But, I will admit that there is ample reason to suspect an Al Qaeda involvement in Malaysia.
I imagine that the Australian Nationals killed in…
