Killer Whale Submarine

Imagine if an Orca (Killer Whale) was coming straight at you while you were jet skiing at your local lakeside resort.  Not that you would run into an Orca in a lake, but if you had one of these coming at you - you would. LOL.  Check out this pretty cool invention...

The folks over at Hammacher Schlemmer have designed a watercraft that travels underwater and over.  It is designed after the famous Orcinus Orca.  According to their website "it can hydroplane up to 50 mph over the water's surface and it can cruise up to 25 mph while submerged; its dorsal fin's integrated snorkel ensures air supply to the engine up to a depth of 5'."

You can watch the video below, it seems like a lot of fun.  So for those who have plenty of money and you enjoy jet-skiing or boating, you will definitely love this $100,000 beauty.

Laugh of the Day: People of Wal-Mart (Sexy and I Know It ) Version

Oh Lord Jesus please forgive me for posting this video. But it's too hilarious not to share.  I cannot believe these people even exist or existed. LOL.

Midwestcountryguy posted a video on his YouTube page and used images from the People of Wal-Mart site to synchronize with the lyrics from LMFAO's "Sexy and I Know It".

Are People Really This Stupid? Issue No. 24 - Mother Grizzly and Her Cub Charge Photographer

Seriously?  "The timing was actually perfect, I didn't have to kill her or her cub"  Really? You f-ing idiot!  I swear, "Are People Really This Stupid?"

The other day, a Grizzly scared the crap out of a woman photographer, and this time, the guy in the video below was trying to capture some good visuals when Mama Grizzly and her cub, started charging him.  I like how these photographers think.  "I'm here to take pictures of you, but if you come after me, I'm going to kill your ass."  How 'bout you stop invading their privacy and go on your merry way? Jesus!

You'd think he knew the story of Timothy Treadwell.  Both he and his wife were eaten alive by a bear?  Not much was left when they were found

The Launch of a Lego Space Shuttle

For any lover of space or science fiction, you will love this fantastic video!  The music and the whole idea of it was just impressive.  It's heartbreaking to know that we will no longer hear of our Space Shuttle or when the next launch date will be.  I never realized how much this would affect me, but the Space Shuttle program started and ended in my lifetime.  I was in 8th grade when the Space Challenger exploded and it was the greatest tragedy I had ever experienced.  Who knew that a toy could make me feel so much nostalgia.

In the following video Raul Oaida used a helium-filled weather balloon to launch a Lego Space Shuttle to an altitude of 114,000 feet. He explains why he did it and how much effort went into completing this project on his website.

YouTube Description: My name is Raul Oaida (from Romania) and this is my LEGO tribute to the end of the space shuttle era. Proving that although retired, this machine can still fly, albeit in toy form.

The launch took place from central Germany (easy flight clearance) and reached a max altitude of 35000m. A 1600g meteo balloon filled with helium was used alongside a GoPro Hero, Spot GPS and of course Lego Space Shuttle model 3367.

We launched it on the 31st of December 2011, the equipment was recovered via GPS tracking 240 km S-E from a remote area.

I wish to thank Steve Sammartino for the opportunity to do this project and the german airtraffic control for the understanding.

Things We Can Do To Save The Environment - Issue No. 07 - Hang Up a Clothes Line

The Global Warming Survival Guide

I can't remember how many times I had to go outside and pull down all the laundry from our clotheslines after my mother hung it out to dry in the morning.  It was one of those chores I hated doing when I was growing up, but I did it. Well, I had to. LOL.  Ironically enough people still do it, and it's a sure-fire way to save on electricity and the environment.  So yes, how we dry our clothes is one of the "Things We Can Do To Save The Environment". 

Giving credit to TIME,  I'd like to thank them for showing us the many ways we can meet these goals.  And yes, even one person can make a difference, and it starts with YOU! - Peter aka Blade7184

7. Hang Up a Clothes Line

You could make your own clothes with needle and thread using 100% organic cotton sheared from sheep you raised on a Whole Foods diet, but the environmental quality of your wardrobe is ultimately determined by the way you wash it. A recent study by Cambridge University's Institute of Manufacturing found that 60% of the energy associated with a piece of clothing is spent in washing and drying it. Over its lifetime, a T shirt can send up to 9 lbs. of carbon dioxide into the air. 

The solution is not to avoid doing laundry, tempting as that may be. Rather, wash your clothes in warm water instead of hot, and save up to launder a few big loads instead of many smaller ones. Use the most efficient machine you can find—newer ones can use as little as one-fourth the energy of older machines. When they're clean, dry your clothes the natural way, by hanging them on a line rather than loading them in a dryer. Altogether you can reduce the CO2 created by your laundry up to 90%. Plus, no more magically disappearing socks.

Make sure to follow Blade 7184 every Tuesday for a new issue of Things We Can Do To Save The Environment.  Each issue is thought-provoking, informative and may hold the key to saving your children and grandchildren's future.

Quoted: Jonathan A. Dublin on Anger & Resentment

“When we are blinded by anger and resentment, we have to come to the realization that the choice to look within yourself and realize that the only way we are going to change the situation is if we change ourselves. Only then will we see things in a different light and begin to make a real difference in our lives, relationships, and our circumstances. People go through life wanting to change things or get different results, but how can anything change if we are not changing the way we think or not approaching things in a different way. An attempt to get different results by using the same way of thinking. Thats what drives people mad. Thats what shatters dreams. THAT IS WHAT ENDS RELATIONSHIPS weather it be a husband, wife, brother, sister, mother, father, or friend.

Always remember a time when things where good and aim towards that. Do anything it takes. Love that person. Embrace them. Stay optimistic. Dont act on your emotions. Stop and look at things from outside of the trunk you're trapped in. Then do something. Don't wait till you wake up one night in a cold sweat beating yourself up because you never made amends and you never will because you just left roses on the casket of a soulless body that you once knew but will never see again. Life goes by in a blink of a second, dont wait till your eyes are permanently shut.” ― Jonathan A. Dublin on Anger & Resentment

The Joys of Being a Parent: A Dad's Reply To Son in College

Ahhhh, "The Joys of Being a Parent" with a kid in college. LOL.  And if you don't have a teenager attending one yet, expect it soon, because this is what it's like.  This was absolutely hilarious, but absolutely genius at the same time.  Way to go Dad. LOL.

Must Watch: Breaking News! The Three Little Pigs Boil Big Bad Wolf Alive!

Wow, this has got to be the best advertisement I've seen so far this year, it definitely surpasses the 2012 Superbowl ads.  The following ad is for The Guardian newspaper over in the U.K., and it uses the famous fairy tale, The Three Little Pigs to demonstrate how their news team would cover every angle of a crime.

So pretty much, the 3 little pigs are arrested for boiling the Big Bad Wolf alive which in turn causes a huge controversy expanding to every social media network available, the public gets in on it, and the pigs go to trial.

Overall, The Guardian covered the crime, did a pretty damn good job getting their message across, and the video has gone viral within a matter of days.  You can't get any more awesome than that.

What a Hot Mess: GIVE IT TO YOUR WOMAN - IT'S HER JOB

So imagine finding a sexist laundry tag as you're about to wash your husband's clothes over the weekend.  Emma Barnett who works at the Daily Telegraph was about to wash her boyfriend's "new trousers" yesterday when she encountered just that.  

The laundry tag has the normal care instructions you're used to seeing, like "machine wash with warm water, blah, blah, blah," but throws in "or GIVE IT TO YOUR WOMAN - IT'S HER JOB."  LMAO.  What a hot mess!

Emma wasn't too happy, she states she received an over-whelming response when she posted it on Twitter and will soon be releasing the brand's name today.

It's Purely Animal - Issue No. 53 - BATDOG vs. SUPERCAT

Okay, I know it isn't Halloween yet - we're still 7 months away.  But I thought these pics were too cute not to share.  These are your quintessential Superhero pets!  Meet BATDOG and SUPERCAT.

Our Forever Home Goal

If the slideshow below is any indication that we are so ready to move out and buy our forever home, this is it.  Over the weekend someone stole some stepping stones from our yard, and I swear, I was about to lose it.  I can't count the number of times our home has been vandalized over the past 6 years.  I always come close to buying a surveillance camera, but I keep telling myself 2 more years, 2 more years - LOL - the time we will be leaving our subdivision.

Ryan and I have spent the last several weeks looking at homes and figuring out what kind of house we want our forever home to look like, and I believe we found it.  This is the home we want to have built; if not, buy one that looks just like it.

Two and half years may seem like a long time, but it's a goal we will definitely succeed in.  For nearly 7 years, Ryan and I have been working on a set of goals, and we've managed to accomplish each and every one.  There have been setbacks (of course), but we've gotten up and followed through with each of them.

In August of this year we will be completing another goal, with our our next goal focused on that home you see above.  As for the remaining goals in our life, as in marriage and raising a child, those are next in line.  I just wanted to give you, my friends and family, an update on our future hopes and dreams.  Dreams we will accomplish, Lord willing.

How To Own A Cop

So what happens when you urinate in front of cops?  You get yourself put in the slammer!  Trust me, I know.  LOL.  

Meet Dennis Roady, he likes to piss cops off.  He uses a water bottle to pretend like he's urinating in public, and the cops, well... I'll let you watch the funny video.  LMAO.
