Helicopter Of Wood


This is the kind of stuff they used to sell from the back of comic books (the only thing I ever ordered was a dog whistle that never arrived in the mail). This helicopter looks a bit treacherous to me. Via Modern Mechanix.

Japan Train Squeeze

Here's a great video that is a nice counter post to my May 21 post. After those sweeping wide open images of Japanese highway interchanges, take a look at this. It's like something out of the iconic overpopulation movie "Soylent Green".

People lose at gambling more often than they win at gambling. Everyone loves to tell a story about winning, but they clam up about the losing. This gives the illusion that people are winning a lot of money. In the long run, it isn't true.
