WIGGUM DAILY

 

The story goes that this guy (the pilot) had just purchased this new helicopter, using a portion of cash far larger than his brain. And he has also just recently gotten his pilots license to fly helicopters. (possibly from a cornflakes packet)

 

 

So I’m out doing regular Saturday afternoon things about town and walking back to the WD Mobile with my bounty from the hardware mega-store.  I turn a corner and THIS jumps out at me. If you think this picture is scary, then let me tell you it’s NOTHING compared to being in the presence of this… this… THING.  

 

 

 

And this is not a small sign. It’s a good 4-5m high and 10-12m across. But you want to know the SCARIEST part of all… There’s another one, just like it, facing the other direction, presumably to scare the same highway commuters as they return home each night. As if they didn’t have enough to deal with already.

 

You can click HERE to view the actual location of WSB in Google Maps.  So you’ll know where NOT to go. You can see it just above the centre, above the redish dirt, and the white walking path. That’s it, casting it’s evil shadow as it points out towards the unsuspecting traffic.  And if you’re feeling extra brave you can click on the image above to view the GIANT version. Go on.. I dare you.  

 

You’ve seen RUBE GOLDBERG devices in videos, you’ve seen them in cartoons, and television commercials. Not sure what the heck we’re talking about.  It one of THESE things…  "Ahhh.. those… I’ve seen those.   why didn’t you just SAY that to begin with…"  

 

Well I’m tipping you’ve not seen one like his before…

 

 

The definition of a Rube Goldberg machine is "accomplishing by extremely complex roundabout means what actually or seemingly could be done simply"    Sound like anyone you know ?    

 

Another more specific definition is "A machine or device is any exceedingly complex apparatus that performs a very simple task in a very indirect and convoluted way" 

 

If you happen live near this guy and notice your cat, or first born is missing for several days, suggest you check the intarwebs for the latest Rube Goldberg video.

 

There’s a real live man inside there piloting that thing.

 

 

 

 

 

I must admit it DOES look like fun…

But Dude… NO HELEMET !!!   WTF

Today’s VOTD is titled FEEDING 100 DOGS. They could have cut the first minute out completely in my opinion, but that’s the difference between good editing, and schmoe’s posting their home movies on the intar-web. Anyway here it is…
