Scottish Diplomacy

One thing about blokes from Scotland is that their hearts and humour are always in the right place! Jimmy Mac Donald, a City Councillor from Glasgow, was asked on a local live radio talk show, just what he thought about the allegations of torture of suspected terrorists. His reply prompted his ejection from the studio, but to thunderous applause from the audience. HIS STATEMENT : ‘If hooking up one raghead terrorist's testicles to a car battery gets the truth out of the lying little camelshagger to save just one Scottish soldiers life, then I have only three things to say, Red is positive, Black is negative, and make sure his nuts are wet.'

Three Men in Hell

Three men went to hell. The devil said to them "You have come to hell, and you must now choose whether to spend eternity in room 1, 2 or 3" He then opened the doors to the three rooms. Room 1 was filled with men standing on their heads, on a hard wooden floor. Room 2 was filled with men standing on the heads, on a cement floor. Finally, room 3 had just a few men, standing in shit up to their knees and drinking coffee. The men thought for a while, and decided to go with room 3, as it was less crowded and they could drink coffee. They entered the door to room 3 and just as it was closing behind them, the devil said "OK men, coffee break's over. Back on your heads."

Don't Fart in bed

This is a story about a couple who had been happily married for years. The only friction in their marriage was the husband's habit of farting loudly every morning when he awoke. The noise would wake his wife and the smell would make her eyes water and make her gasp for air. Every morning she would plead with him to stop ripping them off because it was making her sick. He told her he couldn't stop and that it was perfectly natural. She told him to see a doctor. She was concerned that one day he would blow his guts out. The years went by and he continued to rip them out! Then one Thanksgiving morning as she was preparing the turkey for dinner and he was upstairs sound asleep, she looked at the bowl where she had put the turkey innards and neck, gizzard, liver and all the spare parts and a malicious thought came to her. She took the bowl and went upstairs where her husband was sound asleep and, gently pulling back the bed covers, she pulled back the elastic waistband of his underp

HP Mini 2140 notebook

Image
The HP Mini 2140 notebook is a new mini notebook from HP which is a replacement and an update for the original HP 2133 Mini-Note. The HP Mini 2140 notebook is a business class notebook and it comes with a magnesium and aluminum alloy case. The HP Mini 2140 notebook has a 1.6 GHz Intel Atom N270 processor, 1 GB of DDR2 RAM memory and a 160 GB hard drive. This combination of power and storage capacity makes this notebook a real competitor for many other notebooks from the same category. The 10.1 inch display with a native resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels allows you to watch movies without connecting an external monitor to it. The glossy and bright display is very attractive but this can be a problem because it reflects the object in front of it when you use it outdoors or into a powerfully lit room. And just like other glossy surfaces, this is a magnet for fingerprints and dust so you must clean it every time you use it. The keyboard on the HP Mini 2140 notebook is full-sized with flat an

LG GS500

LG announced another member of their Cookie touchscreen handset family. The entry-level LG Cookie Plus is a slightly pimped up version of the original KP500 Cookie. Including 3G with HSDPA and a better UI it will give users another option when looking for a touchscreen phone on the cheap. According to LG, one of the coolest new features of the GS500 Cookie Plus is the Cartoon-like UI. Sounds familiar? Yeah, that's because the Cartoon UI is one of the most promoted features of the Samsung Corby too. Oh by the way, the icons also look suspiciously familiar to what Samsung offered. Hoping that no one notices that? Source

Ferrante V Concept Car

Image
Car design is one of those art forms that will never grow old. Someone will always find a way to make cars looks more beautiful or bad ass than ever before. Fabio Ferrante, a designer from Turin, designed this V Concept car for his girlfriend. It’s based on the 1967 Chevy Impala. Both elements have been inspired by the Impala. Another distinct design element of the Ferrante V Concept is the rear windscreen which falls back and almost completely covers the rear end of the car. The Ferrante V Concept is a 4 seat coupe that offers comfort, luxury and pleasure of driving while having the DNA of the muscle cars from the end of the 70s. In real life, the Ferrante V Concept would measure 5000mm in length, 2000mm in width and 1400mm in height. Fabio would power his concept with a hybrid drive train. Let's hope it will be a powerful one. Source

RAH-66 Comanche

Image
The Boeing/Sikorsky RAH-66 Comanche was an advanced U.S. Army military helicopter intended for the armed reconnaissance role, incorporating stealth technologies. It was also intended to designate targets for the AH-64 Apache. Sadly the RAH-66 program was canceled in 2004 before it was fielded. Abilities The sophisticated design of the Comanche helicopter allows it to dash to a speed of 175 knots, then cruise at a steady 165. The futuristic propulsion and navigation design also allows the helicopter to execute snap turns in 4.5 seconds and fly sideways or backwards at an incredible 70 mph! With a tremendous power output of 1,432 horsepower from each of it's turboshafts, the Comanche climbs at a rate of 1,418 feet per minute. Firepower The Comanche can go to war with up to 14 "Fire and Forget" Hellfire anti-tank missiles, which, once fired, are programmed to control their own flight to their targets.

Canon EOS 550D (T2i) brings 18 MP stills

Image
Canon have just announced the latest addition to their DSLR camera lineup, the EOS 550D. Packing an 18 megapixel sensor, pretty similar to the one found in the EOS 7D, the Canon EOS 550D is also capable of recording 1080p video at 30, 25 and 24fps. The Canon EOS 550D also packs a new 63-zone iFCL metering system with dual-zone sensor that should avoid overexposure in scenes with predominant red color and a 3” high-res (1040k dots) display. In fact that makes it the highest resolution DSLR display that I can think of. The continuous shooting mode at 3.7 fps and the ISO range expandable of 100-6400 (expandable to 12800) are the final upgrades that the 550D brings over its predecessor. The Canon EOS 550D should retail for USD900.

Unite for the Universe Toyline

Image
It looks like Transformers movie line action figures has turn into a somewhat disgusted-twisted-to-the point-of-perverse cash cow. The latest line for the the Transfomers move line is called "Unite for the Universe".. Above image shows the the 1st "United for the universe" toy of Optimus Prime and Jetfire.They retain the look of the movie line but seem to be either new molds or modifications of existing molds. JetPrime seems to be two parts. One is Optimus Prime with robot and vehicle mode while Jetfire is really just the backpack component that doubles as a gun and trailer or sorts.

HK416 - Delta Force - Weapons

Image
HK416 is possibly the weapon of choice for 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta (1st SFOD-D)a.k.a Delta Force over the Colt M4A1. The HK416 uses a proprietary gas system derived from the HK G36, replacing the direct impingement gas system used by the standard M16/M4. The HK system uses a short-stroke piston driving an operating rod to force the bolt carrier to the rear. This design prevents combustion gases from entering the weapon’s interior, a shortcoming with direct impingement systems. The reduction in heat and fouling of the bolt carrier group increases the reliability of the weapon and extends the interval between stoppages. It also reduces operator cleaning time and stress on critical components. HK416 is a gas operated, selective fired weapon of modular design. It uses short-stroke gas piston that operates the 7-lug rotating bolt. Receiver is made from high grade aluminium alloy. Combination-type safety / fire selector allows for single shots and full automatic mode.
