torrain: I'm pretty sure it would keep the rain out well enough. Look, we could test it...

They're shooting while I'm touring. I'd love to do it if there was no hassle, but it would be a side trip. I know what my gig is. The idea of working for Disney gives me the shivers in the first place."

Sep. 18th, 2005 11:47 pmMontreal man invents engine modification that greatly reduces emissions and increases fuel efficiency. The weird thing: People testing it independently report that it actually does work as claimed.
Costs about $7500 CDN, fits inside the engine compartment of most engines, promises 10% increase in fuel efficiency and greatly reduced emissions - and works in the (nonscientific) tests so far, and the maker is trying to get scientific tests done.
Don't trust the article's science, however. Either the writer doesn't know what he's talking about and has mangled the inventor's claims, or the inventor really is full of shit.
Also,
Another chance to buy a MiG-21.
"AIRCRAFT IS FREE WITH PURCHASE OF THE RADIOS CURRENTLY INSTALLED IN AIRCRAFT"
Also,
VH-1's "50 most awesomely bad songs ever". Oddly enough, "Achy Breaky Heart" only made it to #2.
Also,
Bob Vila builds home supposedly proof against a Category 5 Hurricane. No word yet on how well it deals with an 18-wheeler being thrown at 230kph by a Category 5 Hurricane.
Also,
The Islamic School of Seattle is a small, private institution for pre-kindergarten to middle-school children - so you might understand why school officials were a little surprised - shocked, actually - to find the school listed on a U.S. Department of Education Web site as "The Islamic School of Sex."
Also,
"Scared-stiff astronomers have detected a mysterious mass they've dubbed a 'chaos cloud' that dissolves everything in its path, including comets, asteroids, planets and entire stars -- and it's headed directly toward Earth!" This comes to us from yahoo.com, and of course we KNOW that anything on Yahoo News must be worth taking seriously, and we'd never DREAM of reading the byline to discover the original news agency responsible.
