Bazinga!

Despite Dr. Sheldon Cooper’s failure, one can use his genius in physics to prevail in traffic court.

Dmirti Krioukov was issued a traffic ticket for failing to completely stop at a stop sign. Instead of paying the ticket or going to traffic school, the physicist fought the citation by writing a four-page paper explaining [...]

Today’s WTF Video

What else is there to use an excavator for in Ho Chi Minh City? John Lee Hooker’s song “I Rowed a Little Boat” turns this from WTF to FTW though.

Monday Night Mashup — Friday Edition

Now to convince the rest of Glorious Disaster to get in on this action, but at the expense of the one below the fold, which has already been semi-rehearsed??? Decisions, decisions …

This Sucks!

No really:

Dmitry Rybolovlev, the Russian fertilizer tycoon who in February bought the most expensive apartment ever sold in New York City — the $88 million penthouse at 15 Central Park West — may have done a lot for real estate values there. But here in this old mining city in the Ural Mountains, [...]

Don’t screw with America or grandpa you jihadist peckerwoods.

Dantooine … it’s on Dantooine

Monday Open Thread

The rest of this month will be some of my favorite sports moments. Nolan Ryan was already a legend in 1993… he ascended Mt. Olympus on 08/04/93 when he taught Robin Ventura a lesson — “I’m never too old to kick your ass.”

Black Widow Kicks Some Butt…and MORE (UPDATED)

Yeah, I’m a whore for Marvel…so what?

TMI?

I admit Google’s Project Glass sounds cool, but do I really need my info, friends, co-workers, and whomever else to follow me everywhere I go? I’m not suspicious in a conspiratorial way (though I can see the possibilities) but what would be the ramifications on society on this type of omnipresent tech.

4500 Vipers

Lockheed Martin has just delivered its 4,500th F-16. Made in Fort Worth, TX it’s flown by air forces around the world. 4,500 is a number we are unlikely to ever see again. Quite the accomplishment for the little jet that could.

Martin Kaymer aces the 16th hole at Augusta during yesterday’s practice round — skipping it across the water.

Well, He May Not Be The Nominee, But His Heart Is In The Right Place…

Rick Perry designated 29 March, 2012 as Vietnam Veterans Recognition Day in the state of Texas.

See the declaration HERE

It reads like this:

It has been said many times before, but is as true today as ever: Freedom is not free. Many have courageously faced great dangers and sacrificed much to oppose our nation’s [...]

The Alan Parsons Project Hits the Navy?

The U.S. Navy is claiming it will have a laser weapon ready for use in 4 years. From Wired’s Danger Room:

The dream of sailors, nerds and sailor-nerds everywhere is on the verge of coming true, senior Navy technologists swear. Within four years, they claim they’ll have a working prototype of a laser cannon, [...]

Dutch Treat

The Dutch actually teach their pilots the full maneuvering envelope of the AH-64 and then demonstrate its performance to the public…interesting concept.

Weekend Five — April Fools!

Wanks is on the DL this weekend. While there is no “Weekend Five Controversy” here I’ll back her up today. In honor of April Fool’s Day — what is your Top 5 prank, hoax, or joke — either from your personal experience or from history.

In no particular order….

We Have A Hulk!

There’s a new 30 second Avengers TV ad…anticipation building.

I like … Batman

I’m no Outlaw in the photography department, but still figured a few folks might appreciate the mass gathering of all the TV and movie Batmobiles which assembled outside my office earlier today. Presumably en masse for a Dark Knight promotion, here they all are before they rolled down to the weekly car show at the [...]

Ground Control to Jeff Bezos

Coolness…from Space.Com

When NASA’s mighty Saturn V rocket launched the historic Apollo 11 mission to land the first men on the moon in 1969, the five powerful engines that powered the booster’s first stage dropped into the Atlantic Ocean and were lost forever.

Lost, that is, until now.
