Looks like they could've used.. a uh.. water rocket powered server! Sorry.
Are these the top-secret photos of the nuclear arsenal North Korea claims to have?
So, what would happen if you used gas instead of water, and had a dozen flints dragging behind the car on a distance/anti-wheelie bar? Now THAT would be fun.
It seems as if the hampster on the wheel that was running the webserver needed water to live! Sadly, it was all used up to run the rocket car instead. Oh well, C'est la vie.
A rocket powered enema! From constipated to diareha in 5 seconds flat!
Isn't it amazing what you can accomplish by ommiting one single word, such as TOY!
This reminds me of that old story about a guy attaching a jet to his Chevy and killing himself, thus meriting a Darwin Award.
Except the guy with the water rocket car seems far more clever. I want to make one of these myself!
What changed under Obama? Nothing Good
Red-Bull powered rocket car. First generations always suck
Sigs are for hypocrits
Nuts to that. I'd love to see all the Ford Expedition drivers in my town strap big freaking rockets to their gas-guzzling monster trucks and launch themselves and their screaming brats straight to Mars.
Plus, I bet the mist from the water rocket exhaust would make a purty rainbow. Everybody wins!
In Soviet Rush, today's Tom Sawyer gets high on you.
from a little girl at a goodwill store.
Which he then mutilated and then proceeded to launch off a dangerous ramp. He probably got the attention of the whole trailer park.
If I was that little girl, I'd be kicking him in the nads.
Fucker.
THIS THING CAN TURN ON A DIME, MACROSSZERO STYLE ALSO FUCK BETA, ~NYORON
Does this guy's kid have a problem?
1st I would have given almost anything to shoot, blow up, or melt (or anything else you can think of) a G.I. Joe
and 2nd why does he have a Barby car
Thank god that site got /.ed so quickly!
;) I must
:P
<concerned voice>
As a concerned parent(-to-be-someday
warn the slashdot editors that they should take more care when posting such recklessly dangerous articles on their website! Tsk tsk tsk!
Geez, imagine if some naive slashdotter were to try that at home...no doubt he'll get carried away...start using larger bottles...larger barbie car...moving on to a decent size drum...then mounting the whole thing on an old car frame...then the ramp is deployed...the pressure rises...neighbours houses are perforated...and <*bang*> suddenly Slashdot will be the first website ever to be responsible for launching soggy geeks into orbit!!
Yes, it could happen...
higher a hooker
I'm imagining some sort of perverted sex act involving an estes rocket motor.
And I liked them even if they weren't the same color as me, or they were limb/head-challenged. It taught me to be more tolerant of others.
::gwwwwarwl::
And those I can't tolerate I kick in the nads. Or shins, if they are nads-challenged. Sometimes both.
I always wanted the barbie car. That fucker has to flaunt my childhood around violated with metal valve fittings.
That's a nads, shin, and fist to the solar plexus.

Pft, dry ice is a pain. Its all about muriadic acid and aluminum foil bombs.
There's this car...that runs on water! It runs on water man!
You can't take the sky from me...
