26 comments, and nobody caught the Star Wars reference? FOR SHAME!

Womp Rats are mentioned in Star Wars; Luke says he used to shoot them in Beggar's Canyon.

I'm willing to believe that a stroke or migraines could create speech difficulty that mimics a foreign accent. The doctor said as much, and this sounds reasonable. However-- the addition of her bizarre "foreign" grammar isn't explained in this manner. Regardless of what she SOUNDS like, she should still know what words she wants to say. FAKER!

And that's why we can't have nice things.

Save yourself 4 minutes and 58 seconds-- this is a video of one guy with using two hands simultaneously to create amazing work, as captured by someone else using two hands simultaneously to jiggle their camera back and forth while keeping it all out of focus.

I think golf needs a similar treatment!

It's no cowbell, that's for sure.

This would be nice for well-off single people with no mobility issues, who also own land. In other words, the demographic who could live in a freakin' tent if they wanted to, but still have a lot of crap they need to store.

Show me a housing solution for families that makes excellent use of space and resources, and also doesn't cost a bundle, and I'll be much more interested.

That looked incredibly painful.

I bet they're wild enough to eat you for a snack, Ganex.

Interesting to see the mechanical end of things, but the activity itself looks awfully dull.

You gotta admit, that's pretty ingenious!

The description makes this sound SO much more interesting. Just say-- "here's some weird desk lamps you could stick in a ball" and be done with it!

I downgraded this-- if you title it "cutting a face," I'm expecting some gore. Besides, it's shaky as hell.

This is what happens to people who've never had an ACTUAL bad thing happen to them before. She makes me want to never buy one of these things, just to help make sure she has to live with her kid forever, haha.

+3 22. Daeph commented 14 years ago on video Amazing vehicle recovery truck

I used to work on a tow truck with this setup, and it works pretty much exactly like they show it. Stick it under the wheels, pick it up, drive off. You don't have to get out to secure anything. If you're towing an all-wheel drive vehicle, though, you need to lift the other set of wheels with dollies as well. We used this for illegally parked vehicles in apartment building lots in a college town-- you could grab a car and be out of the lot before the owner could come screaming out of the apartment he/she was visiting, haha. Good times!

Also, your handbrake doesn't matter-- neither does the position of your wheels, or how you park the car. A good tow operator can get you out of anything in under a minute.

Who said it was? I don't even live in these towns-- but if you're going to say that 30 years is the longest mayoral term served "in the world," it's worth a Google to find out.

She's got nothing on the Mayor of Marion, Illinois-- he's been in since 1963-- that's 47 years straight!
