You'll need a drink AFTER you watch the F1 race. Which if you didn't add time to will end with 2 laps left I think.
Okay.... No more spoilers.

Okay, NOW I'm intrigued!

3:20+ becomes entertaining.. but you can hear him talk about the bike too, i guess.

It's far more comical just with the photo...

So I like looking through the headlines and this one caught my eye:

Feds to use computer chips to foil cactus thieves


1. Why would anyone steal a cactus
2. Is this a good use of our taxes? (although right now I'm not very sure any of our taxes are beingsmartly used)

Worth a lot of money in the landscaping business, and saguaro is a protected species. Small immature saguaros are the only kind that can be "easily" moved; a typical 4-foot plant weighs 275 pounds. Several years ago, some drunken rocket scientist decided to "cut" a 12-foot saguaro down using a shotgun. It came down all right, on top of said genius crushing him to death.

someone put one on a kid kart!

Not too surprising...6-8 hp is about what entry-level karts produce. Getting that power at a fraction of the weight of a normal engine is a good thing.

That was me telling someone to do that.

Aaaahhhhhhhhh!

How much torque? There's a reason a 5hp thumper engine can push the weight of the kart and 50-pound kid around the track at decent speed.

Although, the V-12 is very cool.

eh, torque is for chickens. just take all the weights off the centrifugal clutch and let it grab at like 20k rpm.

With the right gearing.......

I wonder what the shrapnel possibilities are with that little buzz bomb?

I'm guessing its way way expensive.

I'm guessing its way way expensive.

Did you see the detail? It was a perfect miniature of a real engine. That plus I'm guessing it's one of 5-10 right now. It's gotta be worth a mint. But if it'll respectably power a kart, can you imagine what it'd do in an RC car?

I'm thinking miniature Abrahms tank. }:)

I was approached this weekend with the question if my computer had been stolen ;)

I promise I still exist! Time to come out of hiding maybe

It was just such obvious trolling. (and I was overtaken by a sudden irrepressible civic-duty urge not to derail an on-topic thread... what is this world coming to?)

Besides, breakfast burgers are stupid and you're wrong ;)
