    I'd like to say that I have a collection, but I honestly at this point have a problem.

    I posted 1/10th (YES, only 1/10th) of my LEGO not including minifigs on Flickr.

    There is no rehab for LEGO. Especially minifigures. Especially ones with special capes and shiny anything.

    Must....buy...more...bricklink.com....ahhhhhh!

    @#c15140845: Heck yeah. Bricklink is addictive for figs. You add to the wanted list, the wanted list grows, there's so many to choose from and so many good prices and it never stops. It's an avalanche. But I think we're in the wrong article/thread. *looks around nervously*

    Tesla sucks.


    Their biggest album "Five Man Acoustical Jam" is a decent live, acoustic album, but it doesn't make up for the fact that they were an unremarkable hair band from the dying days of hard rock.

    Gizmodo has their facts wrong.


    In 1943 The United States Supreme Court ruled Tesla as the primary inventor of radio in a patent case dispute brought before them.


    So Marconi was not the inventor of radio. It has been a mistake that has been perpetuated over the decades. Marconi was a thief and a liar.


    I'd love to go to a museum built at Wardenclyffe in Tesla's honor!

    @Span_Wolf: He was rich at one time, then lost it all trying to invent something that would have made people's lives better, because nobody wanted to finance a project that produced unmeterable (free to all) energy transmission.

    Hey, well at least there's the British Airways Concorde sitting by the Intrepid, though the engine cowlings are empty, and one of the powerplants is sitting in a glass box next to the jet.

    Just because it was faster doesn't mean it was better technology.


    The space shuttle is newer than Rockets cone-shaped command modules, yet it was actually a step backwards in capability. Increased cost and lower payload.


    In the long run it didn't actually save us money, and we now literally have to re-invent the rocket to get back to the moon.

    "this puppy isn't fit for flight anyway, as it wasn't given the safety upgrade that the others got after that 2000 Paris crash"


    It worked fine (and safe) for 30 years before the freak accident. It's because of the noise it's not allowed in any airport. Except like 3.

    Maybe we can convince Dubai investors to buy GM, Chysler, AIG, CitiGroup... That would solve a bunch of problems.

    "Representing"? "A typical Aston Martin"? So what yer sayin' is that he assembled a bunch of stuff that looks like stuff in Bond movies, but doesn't have the cool prop missiles and smoke screens and stuff? All the parts that make it truly cool?


    Oooh. I've got a bottle of Bollinger in my basement. I'm opening a James Bond museum too!

    Both this Espirit and the burgundy Turbo Sport from For Your Eyes Only are beautiful cars, but none top the sex appeal of the Austin Martin DB5 from Goldfinger, and the Austin Martin DBS from the new Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace. I like the Bimmer Z8, but it's sort of meh. Forget the Z3. Who cares.

    @Kaiser-Machead: Ya the Bimmers are kinda common but the Austins are quite hot. I've only seen two DBS's on the street and I see and exotic at least once a week. Hell I've seen more Maybach's than DBS's.

    @Xeno has nothing useful to contribute: Most Bimmers are common, but the Z8's not exactly everywhere. BMW kept that thing rather exclusive and so it's not often you'd ever see one on the street. The Z3 and Z4 are almost as common as the 3 series.

    @Kaiser-Machead: god. Z8 has on of the prettiest dashboards. Beautiful car. I've only seen it a handful of times.


    Now the DBS. Makes me weak at the knees everytime I see it. It makes me weep at the nonsensical barrel roll in Casino Royale, and make me cry at the sheer awesomeness that was the Quantum of Solace chase sequence.

    it's not the collecting that makes him crazy. it's the eight large, futurama style empty jars labled: Nelson, Connery, Niven, Dalton, Lazenby, Brosnan, Moore, and Craig.
