Yeah, that insensitive bastard Descartes always put himself before the horse.
;D Well played, sir

RIP, Gene Cern- and what is insulting is now the crazies will have more "ammo" for their theories that "we never went to the moon." "Oh yeah, how come we have no actual living people who have been? Why did they all die? etc"

Now we have to threaten to run away and join Cirque de Soleil
;D But, umm, have you watched people in public or visited an airport, sporting event, or mall? The average American kid would have to undergo a severe diet and training to join up with the Cirque de Soleile. No more just running away and joining up with a circus or fair as a roadie or carney.

I don't know what to think of this.  Looks fake but why would someone fake this?  If real, that's a hell of a big gator.

People gonna fake but it could be real but using camera and depth-of-field etc deception (like look at this yuuge bass I caught and you hold it closer to the camera, etc.) Or a game-cam on a timer and so not great resolution? The walk seems a bit fake though?

Apologies Zeeb. But it was an historical event.

Yeah, if that was faked, it wasn't worth the effort and expense. I think it's just an overfed, morbidly obese alligator, as unlikely as that seems. Then again, I never thought an alligator would run away from a cat until I saw this, so I suppose anything is possible.

$385K Ferrari destroyed in suspected drunk driving crash in West Austin
http://keyetv.com/news/local/385k-ferrari-destroyed-in-suspected-drunk-driving-crash-in-west-austin
1) this is a "short cut" to get to the neighborhood (before they extended the highway, it was the only way to cross the river/lake. It is very twisty and amazing he could get up to 100mph but in a Ferrari?
2) 3 people were involved but I don't think that car has a back seat. Considering the time of night, the DWI, I'm guessing one was a female who was sitting on someone's lap.

Personal anecdote: I was shipping some stuff at the local UPS store and was bullshitting with the clerk while he was weighing the packages and commented on the nice Maserati in the lot in front. He said "people have too much money and not enough sense." Said he has one customer who comes in weekly to pick up some mailed packages and put them in the trunk of his Ferrari and the packages didn't quite fit, when he slammed it down, obviously the carbon-fiber split. He said the customer barely shrugged. Next week when he came in he had another Ferrari, didn't replace the trunk panel but just traded it in and got a whole new car.

As a dedicated 60's throwback, aside from my mini-fleet of badass electric bikes, I have been driving a '64 International pick'emup truck and a beat old Honda sedan from the last century. So I just bought a new ride and let me tell you, I am having a hard time adjusting to all the comfort features. I mean I can deal with electric butt warmers and auto climate control but how the hell does this thing know fast to set my windshield wipers in intermittent rain? Witchcraft I tell you!

OMG - There was just an ad on for a new series ("Nashvile" - on CMT) on a different channel. One of the clips had a dude in a cowboy had sputtering the line:  "I'm all in on this thing."  If there's a character named Jaz on that show, I'm going to bust a gut laughing. Plus everyone then knows the show is doomed.  :D

Then you would love what happens when it snows here in Texas.... People feel that if they drive faster, they will get home before they have an accident.... When something is made idiot proof, Texas will invent a better idiot....

Ha.  ;)  Rain too. We have constant campaigns "turn around, don't drown" but, yet. And one sprinkle or light rain- not even the floods we get after months of drought- cause so many accidents and traffic problems. But I blame Californians who've fled here for these problems.

I always blame Californians, for everything.

What model do you have?
I bought an '84 300SD Turbo Diesel 5 years ago and it hooked me on Mercedes quality. It has also damn near driven me nuts trying to shake out all the stuff that's continually breaking down on the damn thing. But I guess that's the price you pay for driving a 34 year old car.

Nice!
I looked at that model and others last year when I was on an SUV kick. Decided I would like one of the conversion vans for travelling, but my wife would leave if I dropped the dime on one of those. :)
At least in Burbank you don't have to worry about cold weather starts with the diesel. With good glow plugs and block heater, I've been able to start up with the temp in the teens. (Fahrenheit, of course.)

This idea may not fit here because George Noory is capitalizing on something similar. Oh wait.. In that case it may be the right place... Why not create an app for a company that pairs travelers with haunted places to stay and call it..... wait for it..... Para-BnB Kinda catchy, isn't it?

OK, got that out of my system.

That's not that crazy of an idea. There's all sorts of travel apps and maybe that would be a nice niche to fill.
