A really good practical joke

Some 'mates' of this guy buy a ticket with the same winning numbers of the night befores lotto draw. He gets quite excited when he thinks he has won.

Funny

Ingenious Disaster

I love it when this sort of thing happens and it isn't me they are talking about.

"A Paw Paw man who became lost in the Calhoun County countryside Wednesday morning attempted something new after his car became stuck in the mud of a field driveway.

Sheriff's Lt. James McDonagh reports that the man tried to push his car out of the mud along Half Mile Road near J Drive South, but realized he couldn't be in two places at once. So he weighted the accelerator down with a metal tool box and then proceeded to push on the back of his rear-wheel-drive car.

This apparently worked too well, for the car then sped off at speeds of up to 100 miles per hour across a muddy cut bean field. But, of course, no one was at the wheel.

With the man giving chase, the car became airborne at a couple of places as it sped a half mile across the field, eventually coming to a stop after running into a tree.

No one had been hurt, and deputies decided not to issue the 29-year-old man a ticket. "

The most reliable source in the world.

Super dooper ultra funky

This has to be the coolest thing ever. A fully working C64 built in to my favourite joystick of all time.

See the comments for a big list of easter eggs for it. Mmmmm... C64eggs.

Guess what this is...


One of the knids (not a typo, that's what they are called now) was trying one of his 'experiments' which usually involves fucking up some of my expensive shit in spectacular fashion. To my surprise, this time instead of the waterballon that he was freezing exploding and blowing up half the electrical stuff in the house, he made a cool thing.

The reason it worked though is because he was impatient. I don't know whether impatientness is a virtue but I now realise that it has a valuable place in the scientific community right up there with stupidity. If it wasn't for stupid people, who would have eaten all the chemicals that we now know will kill you? Well this time the impatientness resulted in a slightly frozen water balloon. When he pulled it out it popped but amazingly (and for the first time ever in the history of these experiments) didn't wreck anything of mine. YAY! When this happened all the centre water leaked out leaving a crispy ice boob 8)

And who says knids are good for nothing?

What the hell is this?: Part III



The eggs are back and in basically the same spot. I really need to know what these are...

Where the hell was my camera?

I have seen meteors before but nothing like this. It was incredible. The thing seemed to be about a kilometre away at eye level and covered the entire length of the horizon in what seemed to be about 6 seconds. Blue flames were shooting out the back and I could see red particles flying off around it as it slowly arced towards the earth. The tail must have been a few hundred metres long. It hadn't burned out when I lost sight of it so i'm pretty sure it must have hit somewhere. Freaking unbelievable. But the weirdest thing of all is last night I dreamed almost the exact same thing. It looked identical to my dream with the blue tail with the red sparks but the whole scene was reversed. In my dream it cam down on a sharper angle and was moving from right to left instead of left to right. As I was watching the real thing tonight, I broke out in goosebumps because my dream ended in a huge explosion when the thing hit. I had a full 6 to 10 second of the most eerie feeling just waiting for the bang... I think I need to lie down.

Edit: It looked a little like this but with a more 'wavy' tail, shallower angle and a lot more red junk sparking off the front.
