Yeah, I mean, if everything is as easy as the ad claims, this would be a no-brainer. But I presume that the seller isn't throwing $200,000 out of the window just by not being arsed to have it fixed. Even if you have zero time, the seller could let a professional do the work, sell the car, and still make more profit.…

The ice it breaks in that picture seems to be about 15 cm thick, though. I realize that it can break through thicker ice than that, but is it more plausible that it's all a cover-up story for headbutting a Russian ship than that there were some really thick ice?

The "HMS Tally-Ho, Fuckers!"

This is basically Octane, isn't it? God, I love that magazine.

And yet getting your arms ripped off is only a minor problem when compared to the bugs...

Big everything except talent, intelligence and style...

Exactly, that's why this article comes across as slightly pointless. He's not trying to start an ambitious web series like David Mitchell's Soap Box or anything like that. He's simply joking about being unemployed, entertaining himself and his fans by uploading the occasional video. Talking about 'building his…

Why is it that Porsche's entry-level models look so much more appealing than their more hard-core models? This and the regular Cayman are currently the only two Porsches that I desire (save for the 918), and I wouldn't choose one of the faster models even if they were cheaper than these.

I know that I've pointed this out before, but sometimes I see your avatar, and I hear the things you say coming out of Tomoko's mouth, and it fits perfectly.

After witnessing a traffic accident, my dad (who's an ambulance driver) told me 'If there is white smoke, don't let anyone move, if there's black smoke, try to keep their necks stable but get them out of the vehicle'.

whatever happened to a private moment?

I agree with your ex there, and the shape of the nose compared to people of European descent tends to be a very distinct Filipino attribute. Giving her a tiny button nose like that makes it extremely noticeable.

If I ever start up an asian-based company producing sexy lace underwear, I will name it 'racy lacism'.

I will travel to Monaco just for the faint hope of getting to see someone trying to parallel park in one of these.

Even as a European (and I point this out since the premium markets are so different in the US and in Europe) I like this car! A little bit of Maserati, a little bit of Jaguar, just generally a very good-looking shape. Of course, some things would have to go. The wheels, the huge Lincoln-logo, the interior chrome, for…

I mentioned these feelings of mine to Harris, and he said he had them worse than that. He said he not only wanted to kill the man who caused the board to be put up, but that he should like to slaughter the whole of his family and all his friends and relations, and then burn down his house. This seemed to me to be…

I think that it's pretty popular within philosophy to take a relativistic approach to aesthetics. The same goes for non-philosopher people in general, so many people thinks that 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder', that it's simply a matter of different people liking different things.

DUDE. (Well, dudette, but that doesn't sound as good)

Ah, I see. True, I guess. This would be a typical American barn:
