I've just sen this, It's the Darwin Award of the century.

http://www.darwinawards.com/darwin/darwin2010-08.html

An angry handicapped man, annoyed that an elevator departed without him, thinks it over before ramming his wheelchair into the doors (bam!) once, twice, three times in all. Success and failure combined as he gained access to the elevator, and plunged down the rabbit hole to his death. This 40-year-old man earns immortality as an irritated Darwin Award winner.

*tents fingers* oh good. You and Loeffs both with opposing teams to mine...excellent :P

Mr Martini

That's right, Loeffs is a St. Louis Cards fan (if I remember correctly). Where are you Loeffs? Are you going to show your pride? Who else here follows Baseball? Let's see your team colors!!!!

The World's first prototype "street legal aeroplane" has been put on display. It is expected to be available next year, with a price tag in the region of $279,000 (£176,300). A full tank holds 23 gallons (87 litres) of fuel and does 35 miles to the gallon on the road and 28 miles in the air. It requires a 1,700 foot (520 metre) runway to take off.

I gotta give it up to San Francisco Giants very own Kung Fu Panda:



For those who don't follow baseball, his actual name is Pablo Sandoval



He hit a two run homer for his first at bat in todays Rockies Vs. Giants game. He hit the first pitch. That's all the Giants needed today to beat the Rockies 7-0. Day off for both teams on Tuesday. But the rivalry returns on Wednesday. One team will win, one team will lose. Tune in Wednesday night for further details.

While The Cold Light of Day is a good Bond movie title gone to waste, it seems it's not getting great reviews on imdb. That's the Henry Cavill flick, btw.

A bit anal about my car, I know. But being my main hobby, as well as transport I take good care of it and always park in wide, empty spaces about as far away from any venue as you can get. In some cases, I'm so far away, I should just have walked! So why does somebody in something that could be bought for the change in your pocket always manage to park so close, that the door just had to have touched mine? Why? Cars parked in lines, two hundred yards away there's mine with nobody else for twenty yards in every direction.... Except for some **** who has practically had to shoe- horn himself out of his because his door will only open eight inches before its rubbing on mine. This is why it's far better I live in a country with tight gun laws. All locked away safely at home. If I lived in Florida...... X-(

since I've been borrowing Dad's car, I've noticed this too...SO ANNOYING. I try never to scratch other people's cars if I end up being a little close (climb out the passenger side, etc), but when I come back to find paint of a different color or a scratch, it really steams my grits! people without common decency are the worst...

There's a scene from Pulp Fiction that reminds me of the above comments. I can't post the scene here because it has lots of profanity and has some other questionable stuff going on. But if you've seen the movie, you'll know what I'm talking about.

Nikon have just announced a new camera "Nikon d3200 " available for preorder.
I do find this funny as...................................

I've had a preorder in for a Nikon d800 since the day it was announced, ( supposed to be released on march 22)
yet to date nothing, not a word. The photography forums are full of stories of only a handful of d800's being
sent out. Seems Like I'll have a long wait yet.
