Build Your Own Monorail

jpatokal writes "Building your own roller coaster may be fun, but how about something a little more practical -- like a monorail in your back yard? Kim Petersen designed his from scratch, building the elevated track from wood, scavenging the engine from a motorized walker and handcrafting the train from sheet metal. Total cost: $4000! See the photo tour and the construction history."

    Dungeon Siege is quite possibly one of the best games ever made.

    P.S. It is closed source and written by Microsoft.

    Hmmm, should I play Dungeon Siege or Tux Racer? I guess I will play Tux Racer since... if its not good enough... hey I can fix it myself, I have the source code.

    Before you reply with the obvious Simpsons reference, please have a nice glass of Shut The Fuck Up.

    Karma whore. I bet you'd kill your mother if it meant more for you. Mods should negate your current score.

    Nice journal.

    All posts get seen by numerous moderators. There's enough of them every day.
    Some moderators are vicious. They'll see a particularly idiotic post and then check your user page to see if you're being a moron elsewhere. Bam, mod points all spent.

    The IP ban happens automatically if you're modded down enough times in one day. It's not a concious decision by any admins. Hell, they don't even check stories before posting them, let alone comb every last comment.

    I just read a few of your past comments, and the reason you got modded down is as plain as day:

    You're stupid.

    Stop being stupid.

    Must you fucking twits rip a bunch of quotes from SNPP every time a story is submitted?
