disposable cars

This happened recently, and it’s definitely something random, which you don’t hear too often…

BELGRADE (Reuters) – A Serb man set his car on fire when he heard how much he had to pay to reclaim it after it was towed away for illegal parking.

An attendant told the daily Press the man was very calm.

“He went to his car, took a few things then opened the hood and set the engine on fire. When it was well ablaze he got back on his bike and rode off.”

I’m supposing his car wasn’t worth very much…  Or maybe it was some newly-invented disposable car…  I’ve played with those in video games, and I must admit it can be fun to drive your car off a cliff, bailing out at the last second.  Of course, this concept only works well in video games when you have unlimited money and can just go get another one… but at least we’ve got video games to do such things in, since real life doesn’t afford us those opportunities.  (Is that my point?  Have I finally arrived at a point for this post?  Have you been waiting?  Do you even care?  Is anyone still reading?  For those who have stood with me during the boring and irrelevant parts of this post, I will offer you a valid point : video games are fun!  Now, I know, some of you already know this, and might feel like this post is a waste of time.  But consider this!  Suppose there’s a visitor on our site who doesn’t yet know that video games are fun… just imagine how much fun he’s about to have!  There are many worlds to explore…)

conspiracy theory?

I was just re-reading the post on “a not-so-realistic simulation of the WTC on 9/11

Talk about a conspiracy theory!  That is just too funny.  However I would like to poll the masses that frequent this blog (yes… BOTH of you)

 

What is your favorite conspiracy theory?  Don’t have one? Feel free to make one up.

Also what evidence (if any) do you have to support your claims?

‘King of the Blog’

Anyone want to play “King of the Mountain” err… blog? Hey we are all about randomness here right? In case you are unfamiliar with this game…  “King of the Mountain” is a game loved by young children (& those young at heart) It’s an exciting game the goal of which is to reach the top of a pile of dirt (or something similar) typically by pushing other people down along the way and stay there. Then the others would do their best to dethrone the ‘king’ by knocking him off the top of the ‘hill’.  Though a lot of effort is made to become the King, the glory is usually short-lived; because everyone wants to be King! 

The rules here are simple… the most recent person to comment on this post becomes (queue echo effects) ‘KING OF THE BLOG’!
