Polished up my grammar a bit...

Since there was no real thread for useless but nonetheless
interesting links I thought I'd create one.

Ooops!

"We are all shocked. During the filming, the cameraman took a step back and trod on the bunny.
"He was immediately dead, he didn't suffer. It was a direct hit. No one could have foreseen this. Everyone here is upset. The cameraman was distraught."

Direct hit?

funny how two different internet topics/vectors intersect.
I am working with an outside company and the network engineer is from Rotterdam. He now lives in Carlisle and one of my other forums just started a Carlisle topic.
So, Spork and the other thing intersect with my RL.
odd.

I thought they were universally imaginative.
If I were rich eccentric, I would have 'a guy' that just made me 'art bikes' like those.
That would be cool. That would be a cool 'shop' project in HS, imo.

A few of those were hipster clichés, but generally pretty fun! You should read about the custom bikes they made for later Iditabike races.

I'm sure someone, somewhere has invented a Kama Sutra style/enabling bike. I can imagine elliptically-lobed gears and sliding mechanisms. Keppler-Sutra?

This looks amazing for paraplegics; I wonder why it's coming out of Turkey of all places. It seems like a very well-engineered device.

The EU has been rejecting Turkey for about 40 years now. It won't take 5 years before Turkey asks themselves why they were asking to be part of the EU in the first place. I hear that it's developing itself very quickly.

Evolutionary rather than revolutionary.

I wouldn't want to be going over rough terrain in that (or even steep ramps). Once you tip over that bad boy, I'm not sure you'd be able to get back up.

(But yes, being able to stand for prolonged periods is useful)

I like the way one can transfer oneself from a wheelchair to the device without external aid. Of course, I am utterly ignorant about the field. For all of these devices I see on the news, though, I NEVER see one in my daily life.
