He's being quite destructive! I'd have thought he'd use empty bottles/can instead of having the contents spill everywhere. Although ithas to be said it's a powerful little bugger!

Didn't you ever wondered how they put a "don't walk on the grass" sign in the grass?  That is rather a large course correction, no wonder they crashed They were lost, they were nowhere near the Nile. (sad story by the way) |

I'll just leave this here for anybody who has ever been held up or stranded because a train they were supposed to catch has been delayed by torrential rain (as happened to me one day about 5 years ago):  |

Persons intending to travel by open carriage should select a seat with their backs to the engine, by which means they will avoid the ashes emitted therefrom, that in travelling generally, but particularly through the tunnels, prove a great annoyance; the carriage farthest from the engine will in consequence be found the most desirable.

Well at least the most recent excuses for delays and cancelations on the trains are at least more believable if no less ridiculous. Thieves stealing copper cabling from railroad tracks for the scrap value.

Oh, so that sort of thing isn't only happening over here then.. I had to wait for another train arriving yesterday. It was late because it had to drive slow for a while because of sheep. Just try explaining that to your Japanese friend who`s wondering why we`ve been standing still for 15 minutes in the train (our train and the late one had to be combined before we could continue). To stay on topic, this picture cracked me up the other day:  |

I have to admire the realism in the model of the Enterprise. I looks just like it did at the end of the movie.

"Well, I don't really think that the end can be assessed as of itself as being the end because what does the end feel like? It's like saying when you try to extrapolate the end of the universe, you say, if the universe is indeed infinite, then how - what does that mean? How far is all the way, and then if it stops, what's stopping it, and what's behind what's stopping it? So, what's the end, you know, is my question to you."

Snowplough on the Canadian Pacific Railway at Banff. Looks like it means business:   It's got flanges, and pistons, and teeth, and great big foldy-outy bits, and a crane, and a bloody heeeuge plough at the front! |
