  1. Re:That's great and all... by Dushnock · · Score: 1 · on C Programming Language Back At Number 1

    Nah, that's the NULL position. That's where programming languages go to die.

    Programming languages never die, they just decompile. (hint: http://www.bored.com/agehumor/)

    This isn't anything new. We've been able to do this for years! ;)

    It was a rocket car, not a jet car, and this story claims to be a true account of the actual events.

    Actually, it really happened ...

    ... if you can believe this story.

  10. The story behind the story... by jmichaelg · · Score: 2 · on Canadian Arrow Taking Applications for Astronauts

    Maybe true, maybe not but whatever it is, The Legend of the Rocket Car is easily one of the funniest storys on the net.

  11. Re:Remindes me of the JATO Impala story (OT) by some+guy+I+know · · Score: 1 · on Jet Turbine Locomotives

    Apparently the story had truthful elements, the real guy behind it did attach the JATO to an old push railroad car and it worked fairly well

    This person claims that his adventure is probably the source for the rocket car UL.
    It's pretty funny, and worth the (long) read.

  12. Re:Only an honorable mention by CyPlasm · · Score: 1 · on Sodium + Private Lake = Fun

    This is where you can find the "real" story.

  13. Re:natural selection? by maetenloch · · Score: 1 · on Skydiving from 25 Miles Up

    4) Everyone in Slashdot knows the story and knows that it is an urban legend (U) for untrue.

    Or is it?

    This guy makes a strong case that he helped spark the story by crashing a empty chevy into a mine entrance back in 1978. They did use a JATO unit but the car actually ran on an old railroad line spur. Personally I tend to believe him.

  14. Re:Darwin Award? by wilhelm · · Score: 1 · on The Boy and his Breeder Reactor

    I found this a while back, and it's a pretty good story.

  15. Re:Newer cars? NO, dumbass by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Two Approaches to the Next-Generation Desktop

    What if I bolt a JATO to my Toyota Echo?

    Argh, damn two minute limit. Funk that.
