Yep, that’s a Tasmanian Devil. Looks just like the one in the cartoons, huh.

Fine fodder for an Overnight Open Thread.

In daylight it just screams “Outta My Way, Butthead!”

But at night, it whispers, “Vaporizer Ignition Sequence Activated.
T minus ten and counting…”

“Check it out at night. This baby can be driven from a seated or standing position, fully envelops five in an interior that’s cozily lit and decoratively carpeted, has a premium sound system, and a centrifugal clutch. Then there’s the external rust patina—better call Maaco right now, because next year this color’s going to be impossible to obtain. Oh, right…not licensed for use on public roads, and the whopping price tag does not include shipping and handling. It’s going to take a lot of handling to get this to your place. On the other hand, it could become your place with just a few minor alterations.”

Before I order it, I need to verify if the water cannon is included or if it’s an after market add-on. I still want it for neighborhood protection. Couldn’t verify the size of the cooler either, but I understand that the hologram projector is a standard option.

Most everyone knows that the ubiquitous QWERTY keyboard was invented to slow down typists to prevent  key jams, but there is a lot more.  While being entirely non-productive today I found a fascinating video:

Unfortunately it’s on Vimeo, so I could only link to it. Well worth watching and/or listening to during an Overnight Open Thread.
