What's with the track worker taking off the helmet? I would have thought you at least would want a good "are all my bits functioning" check before taking off the helmet and stressing the spinal column. Especially after a yard sale like that crash :P

Older and cheaper construction houses in Japan lack central heating (baseboard, forced air) that we all know and love at least in the colder climates. You find a lot of smelly kerosene space heaters along with people dead of CO poisoning from faulty units, because that's how you heat your room. The bathroom? Not…

I'm sure they have some less damaging extinguishing agents. You wouldn't want extinguishing a brake fire or some similar incident during an endurance race to further damage a car that could make it back on the track. There are people who know these things. I'm not one of them ;)

Purple-K (PKP) extinguisher and a bit of water will do all sorts of nasty stuff to a car and it's wiring. I dunno if they have those sorts of extinguishers around cars, due to its corrosive effects.

That oil cooler made me shudder as I imagined all the little stones kicked up by other cars, not to mention the vapid housewife in her little kei car as she mixes up reverse and drive. The car-lifeblood oozing out D:

Oh, much more impressive. Panther powaa!

Agreed, anything more than a bartender's corkscrew is a waste. I particularly hate the Rabbit. Large, bulky, and tends to push the cork into the bottle.

I don't think this would be a particularly good newbie tool. But, watching a few videos of SUP guys using their paddle while surfing, and hearing one of them explain why they like it...

When plants die, they release much of the stored carbon back into the atmosphere via decay.

My Xzibit sense is tingling! A gif of a gif...

+1 for humor!

I tried to read most of the comments, and there's a lot. Here's my view:

I'll take a look before I head out and memorize the map. Of course, you should pull over while programming the GPS, right?

Why get a $400 GPS when a $5 map works fine for non-idiots?

Reds can use some aging. Whites, when they are released, are pretty much proper for best drinking. Or so I hear.

I really have a problem with this. Does it serve only one variety? If not, how does it purge the lines to clear out the previous customer's wine? Only one variety in that giant metal box-thing would be pretty lame.

True.

Damn you, Nibbles... I even went and rehosted the picture :P

thyshallsmite: I see a future for you... infomercial spokesperson for the Ronco Thorlectric Household Reactor!

I still like the "Made in Oregon" sign better...
