    That, or the reason Superman & the Riddler never got along was because they were both from out of this world.

    Well, when they're done fucking the artists, at least there's nowhere else for them to turn.

    I don't know weather to think this is insightfull because of the mechanics involved, or funny because you keep burning yourself.

    All the girls laughed at Ronald as he carried the old fry oil to the bins at McDaddies, "I'll show them !" he thought silently.

  7. Re:does that mean.. on Open Source Car on the Horizon · · Score: 0
    The young German is the founder of the OScar project, whose goal is to develop and build a car according to open-source principles.

    Does that mean it will crash less than other cars?

    No, it means making the car redily available to teenagers, actually increasing overall crashes in the long run.

  11. Goes without saying on Even The Blind Get Deja Vu · · Score: 0

    Maybe it's just me, but I'd kinda expect blind people to experience dejavu more often than the rest of us considering how they have to make their way around the house counting how many steps they've made & how many seconds it takes for X to happen.

    They're bound to feel like they've done it before sooner or later.

  12. Where does X go then ? on Professor Comes Up With a Way to Divide by Zero · · Score: 0

    Shouldn't X/0=X ?

    You start with X, which is a real number, but since there's nothing to divide it by, it just goes *poof* ?

    I think 0&1 should become the same number in division.
    X/1 === X/0

    Zero effectively nullifies the Operation ever happening.

    Is that what this guy is trying to say ? I don't have RealPlayer.

    If you're driving the typical rusted out shitbox car that is hardly street legal (e.g. most of Ottawa) then you need not worry about it.

    Unless that is, you're also the type that would Jerry-rig a garage door opener to work as a keyless entry on that rusted out shitbox.
  21. A roster tail maker on What's the Coolest Thing You've Ever Built? · · Score: 0

    Needed stuff
    -- 1 Ford Mustang
    -- 1 Walmart mechanics chair (the thing with wheels that they lay on to get under cars)
    ---- NOTE: make sure it has plastic wheels !
    -- 1 Boat chair
    -- 1 Roll of duct tape
    -- 1 Ski rope with the handlebar
    -- 1 [near]Empty parking lot (at 2am, the walmart you buy this stuff from is a good candidate)
    -- 1 Full set of pads or body armor (optional...)
    -- 1 friend that knows how to pay attention while they drive (NOT optional...)

    Instructions
    1) Duct tape the boat chair about 2/3 of the way towards the back of the mechanics chair. Having the back of the chair right in front of the back wheels seems to be a good place as it's worked for me.
    2) Tie the ski rope to the back of the mustang.
    3) If you've opted for the body armor, now's a good time to put it on.
    4) Sit in the boat chair, hold on to the ski rope.
    5) Motion to the driver to slowly start driving in circles, gradually getting faster untill they either feel uncomfortable going any faster or you look scared, whichever comes first.
    6) Use your legs and feet to keep your balance & serve as emergency steering.
    7) Crow like a rooster when the plastic wheels burn off and you have a 6+ foot rooster tail of sparks behind you.
