Watch as passenger gets launched from the bed of a pickup.
Short, jackass-style video may cause a chortle.

'Ow's me bum look?

From Reuters comes a bit of coverage of the "World's Best Bottom Contest".
Here's an eyeful of gluteuses that will give you pause.
You can read some details about the contest here at Spluch, or just watch the video below. Warning: There's are guys' butts here, too.

Propose a toast - Irish style!

Next time you're with a buddy or friends and having a few brews, toast to the occasion with any of many Irish pub drinking toasts.
My favorite is:
"May you be in heaven for a half-hour before the devil even knows you're dead."
Check out this list of Irish toasts and practice by toasting yourself with your favorite suds.

Water towers

Water towers are a necessary part of living in society. They provide "head" (don't get silly here) or pressure to our faucets.
Some municipalities are more creative with their water towers. By using artistic talent, they can turn their city or town into a location that will be remembered by many passing motorists.
Here's a short pictorial showing unique and odd towers all over the world.

Crikey! It's a bloddy roo!

Don't expect any blood here, but it is a roo.
On the racetrack at an Aussie motor event. The creature is merrily boinging down the track as the mates go speeding by. No creatures, roos or otherwise, were injured.

Post WWII sodium disposal

Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. America and all the ships at sea! Flash! This just in, an old b&w newsreel.
A cool video of what happens when large drums of pure metallic sodium are pushed into a lake. I remember doing this experiment in chem class at good ol' Weber high. Startled the crap out of me.

Very nice podshow

I checked in to Natali del Conte's web podshow today and I must admit, it's a doozie. This is one of those rare shows where the narrator speaks through the entire episode, but the words travel unabated right through my ears and on to the floor.
Natali is in special form today and use of body language is mesmerizing. I highly urge all of you to check out her November 1st podshow at Textra.Podshow.com.
After watching today, you will further understand why Natali is my favorite Tech Babe. Here's a hint.
Apple updates MacBooks

Without publicity or even a burp, Apple has upgraded their line of laptops.
There's a bump in the processor up to a max of 2.6GHz with faster frontside and backside, topside and bottomside busses with directly contrasting insides and outsides. They look pretty much the same as the old model, just faster.
You can read a short informative article here at MacsimumNews. Then go check out the Apple Store here for pricing and options.
Website design products

Are you trying to design a Dot-Blogspot or Dot-Wordpress blog and need some help? If you're only getting one hit a day (and it's your own) then spice up the place with these cool products, starting with "Make My Logo Bigger".
