The power of money


So sad. Too bad. 'Nuff said.

Stretch Ferrari


Someone has taken it upon himself, for whatever reason, to stretch a Ferrari Modena by 9.5 feet. To his credit, the added section was completely handmade using carbon fiber materials.

A brief video of the "beast" in action is below.





Hey! I can see myself


I can identify with this guy Arlo.

Intimidation personified



Rugby. A manly game if there ever was one. More players than American football and no padding or helmets.

The New Zealand All Blacks rugby team uses a traditional Maori tribal dance to put the fear of God into their opposing team. I've seen snippets of this performance in the past and it's quite unnerving.

The dance is called the Haka and is performed by the entire team before the game begins. You can see the FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt) in their opponents' eyes as they face these guys and watch their performance.

Here's a video of one of their pregame "shows".




Check out this link for a site wherein the All Blacks explain the meaning of the Haka.

Here's Wikipededia's Haka writeup. And their entry for Rugby football.

Those Aussies are some pretty tough goons.
