maybe if spiderman had room in his costume for a car battery and scuba tanks...

Can make your own set by harvesting parts from an old windshield wiper blade.

it's the correct way to dispose of ANY flag, not just a U.S. flag. I'm not American, so I left it ambiguous. Still, I wouldn't disrespect another country's flag, even if it were one my country were at war with. It is the people that suck, not the flag. Some countries have really crappy people running it, but they…

right turn on red is legal in most of Canada - the province of Quebec being the main place where you cannot turn right on red....

interesting aside - a lot of people don't realize it, but the proper way to dispose of an old, worn-out flag, is actually by burning it, albeit after sundown after it has been properly folded.

We have anti-hate speech laws here in Canada. Not all of us are the super polite portrayal we get on tv... lol. There was an issue, maybe a year ago where some famous-because-she's-some-famous-person's kid was spouting about free speech when she posted a pic of herself walking topless in new york and the website…

pick one of these and you won't have to go digging or labelling any of your screwdrivers...

agreed - robertson for the win! and with interchangeable heads in case you have something with stupid slot heads or the (little bit better than slotted) philips.

I'm surprised wikipedia actually had the fatal one... Hugh Jones died - 1986

we used to have them race about 25-30 years ago (mid '80's) on a local reservoir/dammed lake... one year they had a fatal flip-over and they never had them again. I remember it quite well, and i was only about 7 or 8, everyone sat on the hilly banks and it was very much a family thing, until that one race where all…

likely a perfect video perch. and from the looks of things, likely the safest place on the hill.

I read the article headline wondering who goes jogging with a microwave...

enough voted to get them official opposition. although a good chunk of that was due to no one falling for PQ's crap anymore. i find it sad that even falling to third place, the liberals get more news time than the NDP.

agreed - they're cheap enough to buy a few at a time, so you always have a spare one if you need, and it stores IN the tray when you put it away...

we don't have minimum term limits, but we do have maximum term limits - at least until another election needs to be called. 4 years is the maximum any elected house can remain before calling another election, even if they are a majority. a minority can be overturned at any time and new elections called. Since 1993,…

If you're swinging properly, you shouldn't need much downforce once you reach directly overhead. the falling weight of the axehead/maulhead should be enough to split most logs.

really? this was three months ago - no one is reading this anymore...lol

i noticed the original article missed that safety tip too. i mentioned it there in the comments also. I've known enough people with eye injuries, including my wife, and i wouldn't want anyone to have to deal with the amount of pain associated with eye injuries, let along the possibility of losing eyesight. I wear…

before even mentioning the dremel - you should be mentioning eye safety/goggles. not much is more painful, and potentially life altering than a sliver of metal in your eyeball.

always been my philosophy. use the right tools.
