Too bad the map doesn't extend into Canada - based on the color code, it would all be in the infra-red.

astrodex - Yeah, I'm always suspicious of videos like this. Do people film everything they do in hopes of making it to Americas Funniest Videos?

In Canada we had a similar problem when gas went over $1 a liter. I think the signage was most affected. Fear not, they'll adapt.
And the cheapest gas I can find up here is about $4.69 US a gallon (equivalent).

You can hoist the right sail - only Superman can hoist a mast.

Not as good as having a "Dickens' Cider".
(Sorry!)

I can't think of any damage a car could suffer from being tilted over. Even if inverted, the only thing you'd have to do is get the oil out of the cylinder heads. And rusted? The cars were in containers, not on the deck. Certainly less salt damage than a car suffers from sitting in a car lot for a couple of months in a coastal town.
I would have taken one for, say, 25% off the price.
I think they saw it as a PR exercise, and, besides, their insurance paid for it.

Synchronization also works well with harmonics (whole-number multiples) of the fundamental, and is widely used in electronics to generate various frequencies from a master oscillator (before things went digital, anyway). I'd like to see the metronomes where one was set to half or double the frequency of the others.
In old TVs, synchronization was used to lock the vertical and horizontal hold to keep the picture from rolling or tearing. A local oscillator was adjusted until it locked onto the pulses at the end of each line.

ross - There are no "Google sats" - they buy the data from various sources. Depending on where it is, it could be as short as a year or two. Or never. (A lot of areas are still in original low resolution.)

This site doesn't work in Canada, either. Well, at least not for me! "This content is currently unavailable" is all I get.

If that's a 3" blade, then his head is also about 3" diameter. What is he, a midget or a doll?

I'll agree with Melissa and MAD - lose the LEGO stuff, it's boring. Unless you're 8 years old, maybe.

So someone shot a fawn so they could turn it into a joke? Pretty sad.

The latest version of GoogleEarth already has "Sky View", which does the same thing. I can't see why the Microsoft version is any better.

What's the big deal? It's a ski plane landing on snow. When I flew an ultralight we landed on various farms all the time. Never on a golf course, but wouldn't have hesitated.

A friend was given one of these; a bizarre, but excellent example of taxidermy. I posted a picture at

I am amazed at how many people can't figure out what it was originally.
