Somewhere along the line you'll think, "Hmm. That doesn't look too bad."

The 20 worst foods are here.

Japanese car mods

You ain't never seen nuthin' like dis ever. An' needer have I.

Those whacky Japanese have their own way of modifiying the body styles of their vehicles to make them stand out.

Check out the pictorial right here.

Lost in translation

Here's a great take on signs in Engrish. They try so hard to get the message across, but miss by ->| |<- this much. There's a great collection here, three pages worth. 'Tis to laugh.

The girls of Formula 1

I'm a pushover for a pretty girl. But you knew that already.

With the Indy 500 race just down the road a piece I offer up some pretty faces with tight curves and meandering s-turns.

Check out the F1 girls here.

PT Bruiser

It never fails. At least once or twice a year I'm cruisin' somewhwere and I spot some car modified into a 4-by-4 rock crawler or some such.

I have no idea why people do this, but maybe it's proof that there's a rampant Redneck gene invading peoples' immune systems.

Here's the latest. A modded PT Cruiser which is/was up for sale on eBay. Dubbed the PT Bruiser, its Buy-it-Now price is 10 grand. Pfft!

Autoblog has a picture gallery here.

Lucky guy in auto wreck

This is one lucky guy. He's in his truck, hanging on by a thread, nothin' but the framework hangin' on to the cab.

Top FHM babes

Guys like pretty faces. All the other body stuff comes second.

Featured are the top ten babes from FHM Magazine, all nicely compiled for you. But wait. There's more.

Down at the bottom, over by dair, is a nice video for your rods and cones.

No nudity.

The babes are right here.

April Fool's Day

I was going to foist an April Fool prank on you Readers but I figured that we're all above that. Rick-rolling seems to be a new trend going around the Internets and I have the video. But I figured, "Nah. How stupid can you get? Everybody's doing it."

Instead, I'll play nice. Shown below are some really great office prank pictures which are nondestructive but involve a lot of time, both in the setup and in the clean up.

Top 40 Photoshopped pictures

We've seen the power of Photoshop, the outrageously expensive Swiss Army Knife of photo editing and image manipulation.

To further demonstrate the uniqueness of the software and the talent of the artisans who use it, I present a link to a pictorial of 40 images which have been altered in crazy ways.

Check 'em out right here.

Four engine, all-wheel-drive Buick

Blast from the past. Years ago, a former TV star, Tommy Ivo got heavily into drag racing. He came up with some outrageous monsters, many of them being multi-engined, smoking beasts.

One of them was the Buick Riviera Wagon-Master which had four tilted and connected Buick engines which powered all four wheels.

This racer was soon banned by the NHRA and went on exhibition tours thereafter.

Check out a nice pictorial from Jalopnik right here.

Traffic jams

The picture at left was taken in Moscow. I have no explanation for actions of the drivers in this situation. But we've all been in traffic jams at one time or another, and I pity the poor fools who drive in one every day.

Some Japanese scientists did a little investigating and devised an interesting experiment to prove how traffic jams happen and the shockwave that travels backwards through traffic.

The video is below.




Road construction engineers aren't helping matters any. They design some some crazy and ensnarled interchanges that would cause any GPS system to get a nervous breakdown.

Check out some of the world's worst interchanges right here.

Half-fortnight of babes

The weekly babes have been posted in the left column selection observation scrolling area at the left opposite of right.



Our featured Butt of the Week is a great view of a bedewed female form practicing her baseball catcher stance. As the umpire would see it.







Our Nat or Not will most likely have you chin scratching while you pause to determine your vote.









Last Week's NorN vote was pretty conclusive.














View the new babes over by dair, you know where and cast your vote.

If celebs moved to Oklahoma

Here's an interesting pictorial obviously showing off the power of Photoshop and the creativity of the artist(s).

The question is, what would celebrities look like if they were from Oklahoma (or any other mid-western, corn-belt, Bible-thumpin' state?)

Can you guess who the actor on the left is before the jump?

Okie celebs are here.

Car show girls

The babes at a Japanese auto show are no different than their western counterparts. Or are they? Especially western car show babes.

The young ladies featured are somewhat more elegantly garbed and exhibit a special "style," if you will. One other thing puzzles me: they seem to have more "westernized" facial features as well. Some even resemble Anime-style faces. Perhaps I've been out of the loop too long.

The cars are unique as well.

Check 'em out here.

What a load!

There are some places in the world where apparently they just hate making two trips. So, cleverly and carefully, they strap the entire cargo to the vehicle and proceed merrily down the road as if nothing's wrong.

Here's a cool pictorial of overloaded vehicles from places other than your county.

Before we forget...

Couple of photos of the past winter and our patio buddies, before we get all wrapped up in the gloriousness of spring.

Great Satan computer case mod

Guys have been modding their PC cases for years, turning them into exhibits of scenes from games or themes which bring to mind a certain related scenario. The MacQuarium is probably the first Macintosh mod ever done.

Check out this interesting step-by-step pictorial of one guy's idea of turning his PC case into a satanic cyber-chassis.

Step 1 - get a fake spinal column.

Is this the next Hummer?

The U.S. Army is asking for proposals on a possible replacement for the seemingly ubiquitous Hummer, or HumVee, or HMMWV, or High Mobility Multi-purpose wheeled vehicle.

"On February 8, the military issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to suppliers, soliciting concepts for a new Joint Light Tactical family of Vehicles (JLTVs)."

So far, 8 companies are involved in the bidding process and, as yet, there are no details on the engine or other specs. Like miles-per-gallon.
