This reminds me of a certain plane. I believe it was the Messerschmitt Komet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messerschmitt_Me_163) that used a fuel (or one of its components) so unwieldy that if a fly were to land in a puddle of the liquid, that much shock would make it explode.

Well, my wife and I aren't having a fucking baby.

Hey, ladybugs, break's over. Get to work. Austin has a buffet they need you to break down.

I, for one, welcome our new bearded and/or Italian overlords.

This list needs a No. 11: The Williams typewriter, also known as the grasshopper typewriter.

I see some validity in asking because she's bound to kill somebody soon enough. But there are plenty noncelebrities out there who are equally unworthy of a license.

I read this headline as "This is why people think fat drivers are asshats" and I was wondering how they knew the driver of this tiny car was fat.

I was in preschool. I had written short story (2 paragraphs) and wanted to turn it into a "book."
