When I ran across this I just had to share it. Talk about a wooden masterpiece!

Wow! (Is all I could say, but this is here to get up over the 10 character minimum per post).

Wild. Weird. Why!?

I understand everything, but why on earth bother to put in two engines? One would be impressive enough.


Hmm, isn't there a British hand-built sports car (the Morgan, perhaps?) that still uses wooden beams for the frame?

There is an old story that goes like this.

A man sought entry into a kings court, proclaiming that he pocesses an extraordinary skill that no one else can match. Eventually he got in and the king asked him to demonstrate the skill he possessed. The guy plants a small sewing needle in the ground takes back ten steps, pulls out a second even smaller needle and shoots it right through the eye of the first needle. Just to prove this was not a fluke he repeats the demonstration several times.

The king orders the guy to be paid 100 pieces of gold, as well as a 100 lashes. The gold for the obvious skill he demonstrated, and the 100 lashes for the countless hours he had wasted in mastering a completely useless trick.
