That is definitely true. Now if only cars were like Santa's sleigh, and ran on Christmas Cheer...

...and only worked for one day a year.

Holy Crap! What will they think of next?

Will we figure out how to create AI from this, leading to their eventual takeover?

That´s really disturbing!

 

One step further to SkyNet or to Cylons.

... I put in new speakers on my car using idiot-proof instructions that I got from Crutchfield, a really awesome website based in Virginia, that gave me a full new stereo system of last year's parts for just $150, including a new, awesome radio... I think that qualifies me as a crazy engineer, though the world is free to disagree with me on that point.

 

http://www.crutchfield.com Check 'em out. They have great deals on auto parts.

Weird looking yacht!

 

If it also has stealth abilities?

If you think that looks odd, you check out the next generation of Destroyers the British and Americans are building:

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_45_destroyer this is the British Type 45 Destroyer, which will be the most advanced and combat effective Destroyer of it's class on the ocean

"After Daring's launch on 1 February 2006, former First Sea Lord, Admiral Sir Alan West stated that it would be the Royal Navy's most capable destroyer ever, as well as the world's best air defence ship.[3] The Daring class represents the largest escort type ever built for the Royal Navy"

 

I recall the United States planning something similar, but can't it find on wikipedia

Looks like it has a massive party hat on top of it.

 

The new ship definitely have less charm than the old ones. But thats only my opinion.

I found them J. There's the current Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, then the newest USS Freedom (LCS-1), followed by the furturistic Zumwalt class destroyer

 

The Zumwalt somewhat reminds me of the battleship from the game Monopoly

Competition for the worlds tallest tower.

Almost finished.

Just breaking ground.

I thought I remembered one in Chicago that was supposed to be able to power itself through wind energy. It had a special design that would channel the air upward around the tower- it actually looked kind of like a piece of taffy, kind of strange-looking, but still pretty cool. I'll have to see if I can find what it's called in Popular Science again...

This one?

Edit: This David Fisher dude's got a very nice site.

Wow!!!

That is some pretty original designing.

 

BTW

The website of the Architect for whom I work

Looks like a nice place to work, Mad.

 

Allthough no nice looking chicks there.

One must also take into account the fact that i don't work there for the chicks but for the money.

Non para Francais.

 

Fortunately I do have a few good English jokes for you to make about bad-looking local women:

 

"There are lots of them and a few of us. The odds are good, but the goods are odd."

 

If there aren't many: "We have tons of women around here, but not very many of them."

 

"The women here are like parking spaces- all of the good ones are taken, and the only ones left are handicapped, reserved, or way too far out there."

 

All of these are stolen from (oddly enough) a college book.

^^^ sounds like my school. In fact, the first statement I've heard before. It's like the official slogan

I like those Tofu.

@Tofu

LoL!

Of course. But having some good looking chicks with you at work makes working much more pleasent if not distracting.

As the age-old adage goes: You can have brains or beauty: Choose one.

Personnally I used a joker and got both for the price of one.

I love women with two big sized brains.

 

Just kidding.

I love women with two big sized brains.

You mean like this one?

Ahem, uhm, no, not exactly.
