If you\’re ever driving through Ohio, stay the hell away from the town of New Rome. It\’s a tiny village of 60 people with possibly the most corrupt police force in the country. Its main street is only 1000 feet long but in 2001 they made $377,651 in traffic citations. The police will pull you over and write a ticket for minor violations such as a dim bulb over the license plate. They\’ve been known to show up at your work place, arrest you in front of everyone and haul you off to make sure you pay the fine. The situation is bad enough that a resident made a website about the town.

Damn, this is one hell of a go-kart. It\’s powered by a hydrogen peroxide rocket which gives 3 Gs of acceleration. That\’s as much Gs as astronauts experience during a space shuttle launch. 0-170 mph in 2.6 seconds!

The site has other insane rides too, like a rocket bike that could rival the Dodge Tomahawk.

Got an old Nintendo system gathering dust in your closet? Turn it into a computer! This tutorial has detailed steps and pictures to help you out. I think I threw mine out a long time ago.

Ha ha, this is so awesome. Police in Sturgis, Michigan thought an All Your Base prank was a terrorist act and arrested 7 guys. Pretty cool, even though All Your Base is soooooo 2000. Jeez guys, you\’re living in the past.

Seamless City is a cool project where the artist plans to make a 30 mile long panoramic portrait of San Francisco. He\’s mapped out a route that takes him around the peninsula through a variety of neighborhoods. I can\’t wait to see the finished artwork.
