It would appear that the incidence of United States Marines dying in motorcycle accidents has outpaced Marine deaths in Iraq. A problem so serious that Commandant of the US Marines, General James Conway will be meeting specifically with other members of the top brass to address it.
In the past 12 months, 25 US Marines [...]

Pardon Crime Scene KC, but I’m just going to quote your post in its entirety. Every word is crucial:
Man climbs onto the roof of the moving minivan he had been driving. He stands on the van’s roof until it crashes and throws him into the woods, police say.
The guy gets up, takes off all his [...]

I actually like the lesson this girl is learning: no matter how much good you do, if you break the rules — you gots to pay!
Seems the young girl was on the bus when calamity struck and she leapt to action…
Marina High School student Amanda Rouse was on a bus with 40 elementary school students [...]

An 18 year old in Florida died while “surfing” a Cadillac Escalade. Evidently he was in a shopping cart, holding on to the Caddy. They hit a speed bump and his eulogy will be very embarrassing.
Cameron Bieberle, 18, of Winter Park was thrown to the ground after the Cadillac sport utility vehicle he was holding [...]

I am captivated and horrified by aircraft in the first place, so this video of Lufthansa Flight LH44 from Munich landing in Hamburg—full, I’m told, of technology folk going to the big CeBIT gadget convention—is the sort of thing that will be running on a loop in my mind as I take a flight this [...]

Sam Hindy, 27, was killed on Nov. 16 after he and a friend mistakenly biked onto the upper level of the bridge, which is reserved for cars and trucks. When Hindy turned around, he hit a [...]

Beer Pong Champion Tire Cover

Enjoy unnecessary field sobriety tests? Nothing gives me the jollies more than a cop forcing me to walk a line while repeating the Declaration of Independence backwards and blowing into a high-tech dildo. Decorating your vehicle with beer pong memorabilia is just asking for this to happen, but you are a champion, so who give [...]

For your viewing pleasure, a video of prop-driven airplane acrobatics that doesn’t end in a fireball but yet somehow remains entertaining.
Requisite “Highway to the Danger Zone” soundtrack, should you choose to accept it. I’ve never seen anybody do a prop stop like they do at the end. That’s got to be hell on the prop [...]

…comes the Hyperbike.
The circumference of an eight foot diameter wheel is roughly twenty-five feet and cadence, or the rate at which a person pedals, is most comfortable at a rate of 13 beats every 15 seconds. Gearing that allows an operator to rotate the wheels four times each pedal cycle, or at a [...]

» Evidently a fan of Ebert’s is trying to help Mars breed the supreme race of M&Ms.

Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels. Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them breaks and splinters. That is the “loser,” and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round.
M&Ms prove Darwin was right Thanks Ryan  # 0

» We just cracked a 750 of “Forêt,” an organic saison from Brasserie Dupont. The reviews on Beer Advocate are sort of mixed, but as far as I’m concerned it’s a knockout: bright, light, full of the best tastes of summer. One of the best saisons I’ve ever had. # 1
