There is some really weird crap on the main page for that site ...

but anyway ...

how the heck did it get under there? Back up into the bridge, or what?

My guess: the arm was pointing forward, and it hit the bridge at 60MPH. It smashed a hole in the bridge, and started being bent backward, also putting downward pressure on the flatbed, and snapping it off the truck. The cab swings upward, making a hole in the front edge of the bridge, before falling down and coming to a rest with the arm bent backwards on the back half of the flatbed.

Terrible waste of an old flathead. Someone should try to get that thing running again while still encased in tree. Might make a good tourist trap.

You might think a tree that big growing up through the engine compartment of a truck would shift the truck a little or lift it a bit into the air. Apparently, you would be wrong.

Only the tip-top of a tree grows up. The rest only grows out.

Posting WTF artistic photos is almost to easy. There's a lot out there. But I figure this is worth linking.

wtf? (Yes, it's safe for work.)

Pig tails???

I actually love the idea of that old truck sitting out back somewhere ... one day a maple whirlycopter drops into it or a squirrel stashes some acorns and forgets about them (I flunked tree identification by bark patterns in Girl Scouts) and folks just let 'er be ... for about what, 60 years or so?

The "pigs in space" series is hereby debunked, sorta.

That's too bad. I liked the pigs in space story.

What A F**K UP!
 

The first rule of hauling an over size load is stay on route. Lest you find your self busti'n tires at Bosselmans. :driving: :cuss: :smack:

PS> IF you top out a load start drinking heavely.

You know, those Russkies are a lot more polite than I imagined. Its those little details, like a nice, shiny H-Bomb that let your enemies know that you really do care.

I think we beat them to the hand written personalisation bit though. (couldn't find the link)......

There's one dead soldier already
 

So, will additional warnings take the form of blistering, vomiting, or convulsions?

Photo by me. Near Iraan, TX 28 Feb 2006.

NBN. Wtf you doing in the asshole of the world?

Because nearby I can get a shot like this:

Great shot NBN. Of course there's miles and miles of nothing around that part of TX.

Actually, that *is* an exploding gas plant on the horizon...it is just that it is very far away, and so very large that it takes several billion years to explode.

Link to the full size version, pretty please ... :)

(wow)

its a photo through time as well, considering the picture of the exploding nuclear fusion plant is 8min behind the foreground

That Bruce is OBVISLY a Marine !!!

Clever French advertising.

Now there's an oxymoron.

:eyebrow:

Clever+French=oxymoron

Okay, so it was funny in my head.

And i AM french....

Ah, that's ok then :)

Well no luck, I'd say :lol:

I'm not exactly proud of it....it's my dad's fault, he was an arse.

:)

This is my in-law's Pastor's car. Pastor Hank is everything you'd expect of a backwoods (literally) Baptist preacher, only funnier. He's a big NASCAR fan (sort of goes without saying), to the extent that he felt compelled to tell me about his vacation trip to Darlington, where he purchased an official, certified NASCAR "souvenir"...a lug nut from someone or other's car, still with the residue of the adhesvie they use to keep it in place during racing. He was rather proud of it.

This is a stock Chevy Lumina which he went to some great pains to modify to resemble a NASCAR Lumina. This picture was taken in front of the church on Christmas Day (he and his wife only drive this on special days, partially due to the foam-wrapped PVC "rollcage" system inside).

Unfortunate License Plate Placement
 

Sure, you can figure out what it *really* is...but isn't it more fun to think that perhaps it is something different?

Would you open this letter? Be honest.

http://www.wolfandbear.com/bear/pix/dearjesus.gif

I did open one of those one time. It had a creepy picture of Jesus and dire warnings of what would happen if I didn't send them money. It was kind of like a form letter voodoo curse. Really weird.

Oh, hell yes. Free amusement like this only comes along once in a great while. You could also just write "Jesus doesn't live here...return to sender" on it and put it back out for the mail carrier.

One word - Anthrax.:worried:

someone went a little crazy with the underlining. it just doesnt make sense. there was no need to underline anything

They HAD to underline the important words in red. It's so Jesus can skim the letter. Then, after he skims the letter he pulls out his magickal bag and-voila!-there ya go!

dear jesus, spiritually physically, finacially. please dear lord, this letter. in this ones life the desires of the heart. we pray bless this letter. amen.

sounds more like the letter is going to get all the prayers

Jesus can fill in the blanks. After all, he is the Son of God. I suspect he can do all SORTS of cool things. Oh, ye of little faith.

just because youre the son of a hairdresser doesnt mean you know how to cut hair

If a cat has kittens in the oven, don't make them biscuits. :smack:

I believe his magic powers were inherited. :rolleyes:

maybe the godly gene is submissive to the more dominant human gene

designer genes? Let's hit the runway.

"intelligent designer genes" by CK

Hey, it all makes sense with a little translation. I sought the help of the wee babelfish (English to German to French to Greek to English) and got this:

the expensive Jesus, enterprises naturally, finacially. asks the expensive Lord, this letter in them lives the wishes of heart us asks blesses this letter amen.

See? That's a lot more honest, isn't it.

Ha, I got one of those letters. It came with a "prayer rug". This was basically an optical illusion. It had a picture of Jesus with his eyes closed. If you stared at it long enough Jesus would appear to open his eyes and stare back at you. This means you're blessed and should send the church money right away.

Nope, it means you copped some very excellent 'shrooms! ;)

PS-hello, RaisenOx. I love your name!

Are 'shrooms still around?

I thought the gestapo started putting stuff in the cow chow to stop the growth.

Wow... talk about a flashback. Thanks, Brianna.

nice catch!!!! think about it....

WTF?
Let's think about a BILLION

Here's something thought provoking and a little disturbing!!!
-

The next time you hear a politician use the word "billion" in a casual manner, think about whether you want the "politicians" spending your tax money.

A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into some perspective in one of its releases.

a.. A billion seconds ago it was 1959.

b.. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.

c.. A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.

d.. A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.

e.. A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate our government is spending it.

While this thought is still fresh in our brain, let's take a look at New Orleans - It's amazing what you can learn with some simple division.

Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu (D), is presently asking the Congress for $250 BILLION to rebuild New Orleans.

Interesting number, what does it mean?

Well, if you are one of 484,674 residents of New Orleans (every man, woman, child), you each get $516, 528.

Or, if you have one of the 188,251 homes in New Orleans, your home gets $1, 329,787

Or, if you are a family of four, your family gets $2,066,012.


Washington, D.C. !!! Are all your calculators broken????

Maybe everyone should just flood their houses, then we can all be on the "big easy" street for the rest of our lives, and forget about working, and paying taxes and all that useless stuff! :cool:

by the time you counted to 2 billion youd be dead
thank god we can count in multiples

Houses weren't the only destroyed property. There's a hell of a lot of other infrastructure and commercial buildings.

There's been way too much talk in a picture thread, here, so here's this one.

I think the phrase at the right of this banner ad sort of sounds like something that LJ would say, perhaps right before, "Don't move, I'll get you a towel."
