L-test hell for S Korean driver

A South Korean grandmother has failed her written driving test 771 times.

Police in the city of Jeonju said the 68-year-old woman has taken, and failed, the written test repeatedly since April 2005.

That\’s 771 times she\’s failed the written test, she hasn\’t even gotten to the driving test yet! Hey granny, it\’s time to invest in a bus pass.

Heh heh, someone ordered a birthday cake and gave the bakery a flash drive containing the image they wanted on the cake. The bakery put the actual flash drive on the cake. Maybe the real image is inside the cake?

Finally, a use for that box of business cards I got at my last job: a planetary gear calling card.

The Big Picture has some great photos showing the entire process of preparing a space shuttle for launch, the actual trip, and the recovery. No wonder each shuttle launch costs $1.5 billion, there\’s a whole lot of freaking expensive equipment used.

The Cabestan Winch Tourbillon Vertical Watch looks like a clockwork masterpiece. All the movement parts are built vertically and it uses rotating drums to display the time. Insane. Kind of looks like a music box too. Does it play Hey Jude when you turn the crank?
