Think about this for a minute

I've promised myself not to post jokes here on SixPackTech because there's a grunch of other sites that do. But good jokes can be funny. The best jokes are the ones that make you stop a think for a nanosecond or two.

Here's one of my faves:

A duck walks into a pharmacy and tells the druggist, "Give me a tube of ChapStick and put it on my bill."

Here's one more:

Two pies are baking in the the oven. One of them says, "Man, it's hot in here."
The other pie looks over and says, "Oh my God, a talking pie!"

Pfft!

Twinkies - what's inside

The ingredients used to make twinkies include some amazing yet common chemicals and additives.

To put it bluntly, Twinkies are made of petroleum, natural gas, limestone, and exo-glarnite from the planet Fnit.

An interesting read, short(bread) and sweet. With a little video tucked up the corner.

Crazy innovative products

Who thinks up this stuff?

Would I buy any of this stuff?

Would you buy any of this stuff?

It's out there.

Somewhere.

(Ikea may have a hand in some of these.)

Self-contained

Here's a very short but very entertaining VolksWagen commercial in tune with the times.

The hidden meaning of road signs

We all know what traffic signs mean by definition. However, what do they really mean in day to day driving?

This link explains it all.

Automotive metaphors

A metaphor, for those of who don't know, is one word that completely describes the subject at hand. For instance, the SR71 Blackbird spy plane can be described as a "blindingly fast Ninja".

Here are five cars whose utter existence can described by one word. They're pretty apropos, but not necessarily accurate.

Interesting nonetheless.

Coincidence?

While vegging out watching ESPN today, I saw this commercial for Guinness beer. I instantly thought back to the earlier post about the complex drainage system house in Germany. My comment on that, as you can see, is that I thought it resembled something out of Animusic, the series of CGI music videos utilizing imaginitive music machines.

Well, I think the ad gurus at Guinness were inspired by (arguably) the most innovative and well-known video from that compilation - Pipe Dream.

Compare the two and see for yourself. 1 minute vs. 3:25.
