If Adri can have one sentence Posts so can I! This may be cool, but this guy has too much time on his hands.

The Glory Days

Don't you wish you had a 2.28 metered hairy friend to ride bikes with when you were younger?

London 2012 Velodrome

Here are several pics of the still in construction Olympic Velodrome for London 2012. Like some of the other stadiums, a cool point about the construction is that they are using confiscated guns and knives from England's several police agencies. What do you guys think?

More after the jump.

Money + Track Bikes = Awesome

HOLY CRAP! This is awesome.

RAMIREZ!! Answer the Call of Duty!!

I usually only like to post the "zombie" variety of Call of Duty news... however this is pretty funny. Apparently Ramirez is the most overworked soldier in the field. Some videos to illustrate my point after the jump.




As one of the commentors on Youtube put it: "Ramirez! Do Everything!"

Too Many Ninjas!

You guys really need to try this game. Awesome. My high score after the jump. Updated: Higher score and ad.




This as was on the page. liked it

Antikythera Mechanism

In the early 1900's a wreckage off the coast of the island of Antikythera of a Roman Merchant vessel was found. It carried many Greek treasures. One small treasure was ignored as a small clump of something. Apparently the clump fell apart and revealed a machine of unknown use. It took 50 years before someone took a close look at it and understood what it was used for. A calendar. Astronomical, as usual. It took still another 50 years for modern technology to develop a way for the Antikythera Mechanism to be studied in its entirety. Modern imaging tech allowed for a precise digital recreation to be made. What they found is extraordinary. The mechanism is essentially a calendar made around 150 BC that was more advanced than the Wallingford clock (pic after the jump) that was made in the 1400's. It showed astronomical events as expected but also showed when the Olympiads were held. To put this in perspective, this is equivalent to us bringing a laptop to help King Arthur win his battles at around 500 AD.

The first part of the vid is here, second after the jump. It may seem a bit boring but its quite amazing, not to mention Archimedes may have been involved.

Time Warp/Waster

I love me some Time Warp. In fact, this show alone is one of the main reasons why I want HD programming piped into my home. I know I haven't posted anything in some time, but this awesome video (which I first assumed would be this video) forced my hand. I hope you guys enjoy this as much as I did.



P.S. Water is awesome.
