He got drunk, he saw one of these things, and he had a fateful idea. In that order.

The B’s in BB-8 stand for “Big Ball.” The 8 is a measurement. I’ll leave it to you to figure out exactly what is being measured, and what the units of said measurement actually are.

He should build a single orb BB-8 version.

So basically you have to deal with mouse ball ick, except on a much larger scale.

It's a cool stunt and halftime show bike. I don't know if it has real world applicability due to the friction drive 

RyanAir has only refrained from introducing a “Don’t Get Kicked in the Nuts When You Board the Plane” fee because they couldn’t figure out how to standardize the severity of the nut-kicking. 

You get what you pay for when flying, and Frontier/Spirit make it painfully obvious that walking across the country would be a more enjoyable experience than setting foot on one of their flights. I’ll pay more and fly with Delta.

You couldn’t pay me enough to hand my unlocked phone to a cop, not sure why anyone would feel comfortable with that.

Haha, a simple, “What is the aero drag of a FJ40?” Followed by a “No.” would have been great.

I love silly tests - but I think the only surprise here would be if the J40 actually was aerodynamic at all. I thought this was going to be a test with the new (or at least a newer) one.

Completely unrealistic test. Have you ever seen a loaf of bread cruising around without a ricer wing, fake ground-effect side-skirts, vortex generators, and a front splitter? Let’s put those on and run the test again.

Damn you.  I just added it to mine. 

Thanks for the laugh.

This is what happens when formerly independent automakers are in turn bought up by a Nabisco-type conglomerate: No real focus, and less actual car people at the helm. Such is the same with other conglomerates: The ingredients that might have made a single brand unique and competitive are ditched in favor or laziness,…

Who’s got 2 nuts and 6 wheels?

If I was given that first photo of the thing and forced to pick an adjective, I think I would pick “veiny” rather than “legendary.”

Gonna need a sturdy bucket...

This is awesome! Cocktail weenie!

Had a yellow smiley face one around 2000 that I took a brown marker to and drew on Mankind’s mask. Chances are I lost it in a carwash when I forgot to take it off.

In Southern California in the ‘60's, the topper you would see everywhere was the Union 76 ball.
