    Hey, does anyone know what that yellow tool with the U-shaped wire bend is? If it's some sort of foam-shaping tool I'd be very interested.

    Or, if websites and videos aren't your thing, Nick, I could arrange for some personal tutoring. You role play the mommy.

    if only he had twins he could build a second one and have it play the imperial march (thats Darth's song right? please correct me if i'm wrong) and then you could have dueling baby roomba battles.


    Think of it like battlebots - chainsaws + infants.

    @FordingTheRiver_GitEmSteveDave:


    I don't see a reflection.. May-hay-haybe of the man, but you can see that the reeds are reflecting nicely making the ice beige near the back edge, but the red from the kid's sled is completely absent from the ice... and that should reflect quite obviously.

    I sure hope he takes the chains off his tires when the weather warms up. Otherwise, we'll have to hope the local nuclear powerplant gets caught dumping waste in parks, and has to pay a huge fine. Then we can work to repair Main Street!

    The video that you have posted on YouTube is from detroitiscrap.blogspot.com... A site calling itself "Detroit News for Whites."


    The first post on the site now is "Holocaust museum founder dies" and then rails on the news for reporting this...


    I know that the Chuck E. Cheese fight thing is funny, but do you really need white supremacist sponsored videos to go along with it?
