That's not so much of a conversion process as it is a straight up bottling plant...

This is the source that I read: http://www.gourmet.com/magazine/2000s/2004/08/consider_the_lobster?currentPage=6

To those suggesting a "clean kill" by knifing the lobster in the head, think again. Lobsters have distributed brains, and destroying the front part has been found to neither kill them nor render them unconscious. So basically, all you're doing is adding injury to injury by stabbing them before chucking them in the pot.

ORMA 60 trimaran. Insanely fast, designed for offshore solo sailing, may only slightly try to kill you every time you blink. Dirt cheap at €260,000, too.

She was so close to perfect, and then they went and stuck a giant phallic radar mast on her bow...

I'll raise you a Jaguar XF...

How about this one? Ballsy/stupid, but priceless for the commentary alone.

My all time favorite.

How about a C-17 semi-prepared runway takeoff in Afghanistan?

For the 100th Anniversary of Naval Aviation, a lot of resprays went old school. There were definitely some lookers:

Not taking sides, but LeSaffre seemed to think that he wasn't at fault, which might justify the gesture in his mind:

Yep, Discovery showing again just how innovative it really is.

On Shuttle 1.01 - Shuttle 1.02 "Ptichka" (man-rated, 97% complete) is still sitting quite happily at Baikonur!

I'd agree with you on that point, and I do think the current batch of drivers don't really have the same restraint that competing in the early 00's and before would have given.

Two points:

Wow, that was a brainfart. Fuji it is.

One of the best all-out rain battles I can remember: Massa v Kubica, last few corners of Suzuka 2007. No quarter given, none asked.

You obviously haven't seen the rides of choice for Texan frat boys - spotless lifted F-250s that have never seen a splash of mud in their life.

If it helps, I went to see the 3D version due to lack of convenient 2D showtimes. Apart from the opening credits and a few waterdrop slo-mo sequences, it's almost unnoticeable, to the point where I wonder why they pushed the 3D aspect so hard in the first place.

Seriously? No chance of a spoiler alert? God damnit, Patrick, poor form.
