Get Your Racing Gear On
Plug in the details of your car, then your mate’s car and get racing….see who would measure up in a virtual drag race. As you can see below, my friend Deb’s Landcruiser is left behind in a cloud of dust from my X-Trail.
If anyone else is game to try their skill against my car, I dare double dare PHYSICAL CHALLENGE you!!!
IN THE SLOT - TOWER OF POWER
Heard this awesome funk album today by a group I had never heard of. For this reason alone I recommend everyone tries new things…listen to music you wouldn’t normally listen to, see movies you wouldn’t normally see and do things you wouldn’t normally do. You may just surprise yourself.
As it turns out, I’m racing out to buy this album as soonas I can hit the pavement and find a record store that stocks it. Actually, on second thoughts, I’ll probably just buy it online now 
Check out Amazon and have a listen to the funky soul sounds of Tower of Power - In The Slot.

Fashion Parade
Check out these garments in an asian fashion parade….can you identify what everything is made of?
Yep, everyone of them is made of condoms! OK, so maybe not the most practical clothes, but at least the red wine wouldn’t stain your party dress
Weird and Wonderful Staircases
Here’s a look at some of the most unusual and fabulously creative staircases I’ve ever seen:
I don’t know about anyone else, but I’d love some of these in my house.
Filed under Random Stuff | Comment (0)CHECK YOUR CHILD’S HOMEWORK
The following is collation of children’s projects, which is proof that parents don’t take enough interest in their child’s education. For godness sake, people, please check your child’s work before they take it back to school.
And from all of these I can’t quite decide what is worst. Is it the fact that the kids all look so damn proud of themselves, the fact that the teachers seem not to have noticed what the projects were about to allow them to display them in the first place, the fact that the first one appears to be displayed in a shopping centre, or that the last girl seems to have won some sort of award for her work on “Aids! The Gay Plague!”
WTF??????

YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME???!!!!!
Whilst there are times I rue living in this century, as I love fashion from the 1920’s to 1960’s, the following proves that I just wasn’t cut out for that era. If it’s not offensive enough that there was actually a magazine called “Housekeeping Monthly”, just take a look at this article that was published in 1955:
And remember, a good wife always knows her place!!!! HA!

I’m thinking the production of a time-machine is in order….
Bayer’s Heroin
A bottle of Bayer’s heroin. Between 1890 and 1910 heroin was sold as a non-addictive substitute for morphine. It was also used to treat children with strong cough.
Coca Wine
Metcalf Coca Wine was one of a huge variety of wines with cocaine on the market. Everybody used to say that it would make you happy and it would also work as a medicinal treatment.
Mariani Wine
Mariani wine (1875) was the most famous Coca wine of it’s time. Pope Leo XIII used to carry one bottle with him all the time. He awarded Angelo Mariani (the producer) with a Vatican gold medal…..hey, what’s good for the pope is good for me!
Maltine
Produced by Maltine Manufacturing Company of New York . It was suggested that you should take a full glass with or after every meal. Children should take half a glass.
A Paper Weight
A paper weight promoting C.F. Boehringer & Soehne (Mannheim , Germany). They were proud of being the biggest producers in the world of products containing Quinine and Cocaine.
Opium for Asthma
Gee, I really hope this helps you breath better. Oh hell, who cares really?!
Cocaine tablets (1900)
All stage actors, singers teachers and preachers had to have them for a maximum performance. Great to “smooth” the voice.
Cocaine drops for toothache
Very popular for children in 1885. Not only did it relieve the pain, but it also made the children happy! Perhaps we need this back on the market for all those “emo kids”.
Opium for babies
I’m sure this would make them sleep well (not only the Opium, but 46% alcohol!!!!!)
And to add Pete’s spin on this:
“Our grandparents and parents have tried to guilt-trip us into believing they walked a thousand miles, barefoot through the snow to buy a small loaf of bread and a potato which then had to feed their whole family of 48, who all lived in a tiny one-room cottage built out of twigs by your grandfather… but in actual fact they were really sitting in their lounge-room the whole time so doped-up, that the entire adventure only happened in their drug-filled heads. “

Well, it was inevitable! Finally, as Barbie turns 50, she begins to resemble the “average woman” in 2009.
Happy 50th, Barbs! Why don’t you get stuck into that triple choc mud cake topped with custard-filled profiteroles and an extra dollop of cream?!
C’mon, it’ll make me feel better about myself
Extreme Sheep LED Art
If you haven’t already seen this fabulous co-op of LED and herding genius, take a look at the video below. I can only imagine how much time, money and effort went into this production, and I really hope the sponsorship paid off for these guys.
Where do people come up with these ideas?
