Jet lands with e-brake
Man, talk about skid marks! A pilot forgets that the e-brake is applied and comes in for a landing with remarkable results.
One thing is puzzling, though. How did the plane take off? The brake must've been applied in mid-flight.
Link here with pics.

Japanese conduct wacky tire research
Japanese "scientists" perform research on the ability of different size rimless tires and their performance down a ski jump slope. Distances are measured in meters.
This video (albeit rather long; 7+ minutes) is quite interesting and amusing near the end. Quite funny, actually.
Watch.

Actual license plates spotted in the wild.
I especially like the Mazda "Pi" as you can see by the number on the trunk.
