“A new concept design from Ji Woong feature a zipper that lets you zip them up to eliminate cable knots. Bonus points for the volume and hold feature in the zipper pull. As this is just a concept at this time, no price or availability, but if real manufacturers are paying attention, maybe we’ll actually see this hit the streets.” w/ photos

I Remember Andrea

The Bailout
The Bailout
All this talk about “stimulus packages” and “bailouts”…
A billion dollars…
A hundred billion dollars…
Eight hundred billion dollars…
One TRILLION dollars…
What does that look like? I mean, these various numbers are tossed around like so many doggie treats, so I thought I’d take Google Sketchup out for a test drive and try to get a sense of what exactly a trillion dollars looks like.
We’ll start with a $100 dollar bill. Currently the largest U.S. denomination in general circulation. Most everyone has seen them, slighty fewer have owned them. Guaranteed to make friends wherever they go.
A packet of one hundred $100 bills is less than 1/2″ thick and contains $10,000. Fits in your pocket easily and is more than enough for week or two of shamefully decadent fun.
Believe it or not, this next little pile is $1 million dollars (100 packets of $10,000). You could stuff that into a grocery bag and walk around with it.
While a measly $1 million looked a little unimpressive, $100 million is a little more respectable. It fits neatly on a standard pallet…
And $1 BILLION dollars… now we’re really getting somewhere…
Next we’ll look at ONE TRILLION dollars. This is that number we’ve been hearing so much about. What is a trillion dollars? Well, it’s a million million. It’s a thousand billion. It’s a one followed by 12 zeros.
You ready for this?
It’s pretty surprising.
Go ahead…
Scroll down…
Ladies and gentlemen… I give you $1 trillion dollars..
(And notice those pallets are double stacked.)
So the next time you hear someone toss around the phrase “trillion dollars”… that’s what they’re talking about.
Thanks for the forward cid! get a blog!
un-see this. I double dare you.
(Above) This may sounds harsh, but i just wanna hit this guy for looking at me like that. gives me the heebies.
(Above) And this guy is supposedly a big deal somewhere in the continent of Africa. He heads one of the 3476283 child forced militias trying to corruptly take over the present ruling corrupt governing parties in one of the corrupt countries over there.
(Above) Blah blah the clipse w/ random freaky face man between.
(Above) Creative.
(Above) Time-stakingly creative.
(Above) There’s something about Rabbits that are so genial yet unsettling.
(Above): Only in NYC. TO. LDN. MTL. or….really anywhere really.
(Above): This reminds me of my good friends wipe-out (not naming names) where she successfully ripped herself a new asshole and gash within the blink of an eye. This dude had nuf’ sense to wear the full body suit. haha.
(Above): This puts my RUN DMC and vintage FILA stickers to shame.
The dutch are serious about their Tulip industry
Did you know?
-The Netherlands produce more than nine million bulbs a year.
-In the second picture, an extraordinary 60 million tulips can be seen coming into flower.
-More than 10,000 hectares are devoted to the cultivation of these delicate flowers, the Dutch landscape in May is a kaleidoscope of giddy colours as the tulips burst into life.
truth or fiction?? F.U.S.B.I.
“Come on Back” Music Video by F.U.S.B.I.
I got 59 seconds in before i just had to upload this and ask you readers if this is real or totally fake. i’m blown the fuck away.
so????? what do you think
WTF??? this sounds like my old band but without the vulgarity.
UPDATE:
i found this: Sometimes Internet sensations take a while to get going. Like the above video, which had 9,000 views through yesterday, despite being loaded up last year. Well, that’s a crying shame. The clip for F.U.S.B.I.’s accidental indie rock gem “Come On Back” features three 40something bike gang refugees (one sporting an American flag doorag) and a bouncy high school kid on keyboards; it tells the stirring story of a dropped $20 bill, a beautiful lady, and, uh, something else. Yes, this video somehow manages to bungle its facile narrative, but, how about that awesome guy working the boards in the Slipknot shirt? Maura told me yesterday, “I would have just kept the $20.” Sounds like someone’s not a world-class romantic like these Federal United States Booty Inspectors!
Worlds worst/best poker face – Is that tilt or just run-of-the-mill cocaine?
Holy tilted much??
the girl cracking up in the background is a nice touch also.
