Throwback Tuesday

Today we're introducing a new element of 4DWaB - Throwback Tuesday. No, this is not a day when we wear old school Kevin McHale or Alaa Abdelnaby jerseys (although that would be awesome). Throwback Tuesdays will be a tribute to those fantastic songs that defined your childhood. For some it may be Vanilla Ice, for others Another Bad Creation. Regardless of who it was/is, Throwback Tuesday will feature them.

So without further ado, with tomorrow being April 1st, I give you the premiere installment of Throwback Tuesday:

Obvious Conclusion


See if you follow this logical chain of events. Man makes "car" out of a bar stool and a deconstructed lawn mower. Man drives said bar stool to a bar. Man drinks heavily. Man arrested for DUI.

C'mon. Did anyone not see that coming?

Better late than never!

Things That Shouldn't Happen...

4.) Having an 18M-long penis on the roof of your house.


So this 18 year old kid from England decided that he wanted his house to be noticeable on Google Earth. I just can't decide whether his method of accomplishing this is pure genius/hilarious or if he has way too much time on his hands.

Northrop Grumman Builds Huge-Ass Laser Gun


Ok, ok, ok. I know what you're thinking. Yes, it's a little big. Yes, it looks more restaurant refrigerator than tactical death weapon of the future. But listen to this:

A single beam reached 105.5 kW. The seven-chain JHPSSL laser demonstrator ran for more than five minutes, achieved electro-optical efficiency of 19.3 percent, reaching full power in less than 0.6 seconds, all with beam quality of better than 3.0.

Now, I have absolutely no idea what the hell any of that means but it sure sounds impressive. Try dropping that one on your cube neighbor tomorrow morning.

"You hear about Northrop and their solid-state laser beam that reached 105.5kW? Beam quality of better than 3.0, with an electro-optical efficiency of 19.3%...

(long pause)

"So, how's your bracket?"

Walker Told You What?!?

I realize this is old, but I was recently introduced to this clip and don't know how I had never seen it before...

Walker told me I have AIDS
