Check out what bizarre contraptions for 2005 won awards for Best Engineering, Best Art, Best Bribes, etc., and if anyone actually finished the race."

  1. Save those pictures! by Spy+der+Mann · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The whole thing was hilarious. Specially the "It cain't" titanic parody, and my favorite, La Kafkaracha. For those not spanish-savvy, 'la cucaracha' means "the cockroach" in spanish. It's also a famous traditional song in Mexico. (Ironically, the song is about a cockroach not being able to walk because it's missing a leg).

    La kafkaracha's face was very funny, too!

    watched it from the canton waterfront park....its a shame that it rained all day (and I was looking forward to seeing the train enter the water)

    for those that plan on visiting baltimore, i highly suggest checking out the American Visionary Musuem (http://www.avam.org/ which sponsored this race...its a musuem full of art by non-trained artists. has some really great stuff.

    That's because of the "produce" they grow there.

    Nice town. I liked my visit there a lot. You might enjoy their police logs.
