Bugatti Veyron at Top Speed

Feb 20, 2007 by Mike Browne in Video | Add comment

The Bugatti Veyron tested to see if it really can do 407 km/h.

I'm one of those kids who grew up in Canada right in the midst of the switch to metric so miles per hour still means something to me. So, 407 kmh = 252.90 mph. Holy guacamole! That's fast.

Thanks to Scotty for the link.

My video mentioned in Globe and Mail

Feb 18, 2007 by Mike Browne in Video | 2 Comments
Remember this video I put on YouTube last week?:


It was mentioned in The Globe and Mail about three quarters of the way down the page in this article is says:

You're a star

Congratulations to Sean McCormick. You're posted on YouTube under the headline "Sportsnet F-Bomb," with video and audio showing you using the f-word during a Rogers Sportsnet telecast. When the picture disappeared for a few seconds, McCormick, a Sportsnet anchor, obviously thought the audio also was off.

A spokesman said the network received two complaints.

The video has had over 1000 views just today.

Humans!

Humans! is a 60 second global awareness PSA sensationalizing the excessive, all-consuming nature of the human being. This cute and naive Earth stands no chance against such an insatiable parasite. Witness its utter demise in a fun and sickening kind of way.

Nicely done by the folks at Three Legged Legs! Check out their site there's plenty more amazing video to ogle.

Do you smell that?

In keeping with the nerdy Star Trek theme of late I just had to post this. Sorry.

Emerald Nuts: Robert Goulet

Beware of Robert Goulet, for he will mess with your stuff once you fall asleep.

That was one of Carol's favourite Super Bowl ads. Perhaps because her mom doesn't like Robert Goulet because, it has been said, Elvis didn't like him.

Enzo Ferrari hits 339 Kmh on Alberta Highway

Here’s an awesome video from ZR Auto, an exotic car dealership in Calgary, Canada. Dealer principal Zahir Rana’s personal collection of mad whips include an Enzo Ferrari, a Novitec Rosso F430 F1 Supersport and several miscellaneous other Ferraris, V-12 Lamborghinis, and Porsches. Watch how fiercely the Enzo and Novitec accelerate in comparison to the Gallardos.

For our American friends 339 km/h = 210.64 mph. In other words 'ZOOM'!
