It could be a forest/swamp scene with several peering out of the water. It's what I was thinking of when I was collecting water samples a couple weeks ago for my environmental radiation lab and we walked down to the pond and weregreeted by loads of frogs staring out of the water at us. One of the girls freaked out but I thought they were

This one's my favorite just because of the sentence they chose to construct around the phrase. Not "I _____ the heavy box across the floor" or anything, nope.

You know those little carts "have been very popular for more than 100 years in several countries with different names (chivichanas, carritos de rulemanes, deslizadores, carruchos, avalanchas, carricoche, carritos de balineras, ...)"? The ones made from scrap wood and ingenuity? These guys:  Ever wanted to make one, but just couldn't find the scrap wood or rope? Well don't worry, these guy are selling them for only $100. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1179679166/kartium-race-car-inspired-handcrafted-riding-kart?ref=category

The ones made from scrap wood and ingenuity? It's a Go Kart for not going down hills in? That kinda defeats the whole purpose of one. The rope is for pulling it to the top of the hill, you then launch down as fast as possible and smash your cart to tinder at the bottom. But it doesn't matter because you made it out of scrap and you toughen up to those ragged nail wounds fairly quickly.

Someone donated a dollar to point out the irony of Kickstarting the new Atlas Shrugged movie. As a response, the creator linked to a site that tries really hard to spin Rand in a positive light.

With all the motion blur, all I can think of is the kid getting pulled along by a car at 88 miles per hour or some poo poo. Which, by the way, you know that some kid down the line is going to hitch themselves to a rear bumper at some point, and things are going to go horribly wrong.

The $1850 pledge confuses me, I can't imagine an adult wanting to go out and ride one of those things so it can only be meant for kids. Sending your kid out to meet some design team and stay a night is creepy. Do they make adut sized versions for the portly gentleman?

Man, that picture takes me back to the good old days of scalding hot metal slides that dumped you into sand... sand that doubled as a litterbox for the local feral cats at night. Guy's clearly just trying to introduce a new generation to blunt force trauma like the kind we used to suffer as stupid kids.

I'd say they're expecting kids AND adults are going to want to use one.

The other week, I was flying down a steep hill on the back of a really sturdy trike. Going so fast with literally zero options for stopping without crashing. It was hilarious and awesome. Would I spend a ton of money on one of my own? No, but would I use somebody elses? Absolutely. Though the KS says you shouldnt use his thing with more than a minor slope.
