The Atlantic Road

I'm sorry, but this is scary as hell.  Look at the waves from the Atlantic as this guy crosses this superhighway in Norway.  It's downright terrifying.

According to the description, The Atlantic Road was built in 1983-1989 and has become a very popular road for tourists visiting the north-west coast of Norway.

Yeah, my ass wouldn't be crossing the Atlantic by road. LOL. Well... maybe if the sea was calm.

Road Fatalities USA

It's not so cool that so many road fatalities happen every year.  According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 369,629 people have died on America's roads between 2001 and 2009. 

Mapping experts at ITO World have taken this information, and produced this powerful map using OpenStreetMap. You can zoom in to any particular part of the country or you can simply search for your town. Each dot represents a life. 

I used this interactive map earlier to see how many people died in proximity to where I lived, and it's mind-boggling to me how I didn't know these people died just feet from our home, or a nearby store. Click on the pic, to see how many people have lost their lives in your neighborhood, you'd be surprised.  Just looking at that huge mass of dots in Houston, Texas is crazy.

The Making of a Pothole

Nothing pisses me off more than running over a hole that damages your tire or wheel.  Whatever the case may be, I hate those damn #%@$%^ holes!

And all along I thought potholes were formed from falling stars or little meteorites.
