There was another video onboard that lucky car, the shadow of the passing car was perfectly visible.

wow, that was pretty hard core. I can't imagine how the guys in the flaming wreck (first video) survived. They didn't even seem to badly injured, though certainly not totally with it either.

a cylon toaster! Yes! It toats a picture of a cylon onto your bread. How deliciously retarded.

Nice one! That really made me smile.

Bush's interview, banned in USA
I just got to put this in the funny stuff thread:

Looks to me like an episode of the twilight zone, thou.

lol, he gets ripped apart in that interview. I can't believe that such a weak debater/interviewee survived 8 years of presidency. Makes you wonder what sort of sheep are usually interviewing him.

man, his inability to articulate has been well known for a long time. I think the second election was more along the lines that Kerry sucked and we didn't know how bad he would be, while Bush, though bad, is at least a known quantity of suck. Blah, beats me, I don't vote. I'll vote for (or against) stuff I believe in. I haven't believed in a president since Reagan.

some more optical illusions. I love em.

It's some flashing dots. They will appear to be flashing either vertically or horizontally. After awhile (a few minutes), the direction they appear to flash in will spontaneously change. I love the brain.

Few of them do not cheat me at all, some of them do not cheat me just because I look closely - as always, but many of them do cheat me. Some of them are even useful. I loved the one demonstrating the blind spot. I used it to calculate which parts of my FOV are covered by it.

A woman goes in to a long and painful labour.
30 hours pass and the baby still is not coming out. The doctors are worries and soon vanish leaving just the nurses in the room.
A while later, they come back to the pregnant woman.
Dr "We're sorry Madame, but we're going to have to do a cesarean!"
Suddenly the woman screams, "this is it, it's coming!"
Everything goes black.
The woman had passed out. It was too much for her to handle.
Some hours later, she comes to and is greeted by the doctor, who proceeds to say
"I've got some good news, and I've got some bad news... which do you want first?"
"The bad news!" Replies the woman
"The bad news is that your son has been born with ginger hair!"
"Oh that's not so bad" Replies the woman. "What's the good news?"
"He's Dead."

Somehow I absolutely fail to see what's funny about that one.

lol, wtf. I can't explain why I find that funny.

The blind spot illusion thing was cool, btw

this is freakin' bizarre. A hitachi flash 'ad' about storing bits vertically or something. But it's freakin' bizarre

@ Vertical bit storage
Somebody had huge amount of extra time to spend on nothing.
