What every boy needs, a full-size, remote-controlled Hummer H3, crafted by engineers from Cranfield University in the UK.
Capable of climbing a 407mm vertical wally, operate in up to 610mm of water and traverse a 40% slope, it won’t be available commercially. Sorry boys.
Of course, one of the reasons that the UK’s public transport grid is in disarray is because the ministers are clueless….
This clip is from the much-missed comedy show Big Train but I thought it rather apposite. Enjoy.
Got a need for speed? This should do it, a downhill racer where your legs are strapped to the rear gear and stopping is akin to riding a mobile Thighmaster, squeeze hard! Heavy padding is recommended, just in case.
The gif is the actual patent picture, all that’s needed is a manufacturer.
Bad for his marriage and his political future? Definitely. But the environment? Can’t be… right? Jonathon Morgan at Green Daily begs to differ, though, and comes up with five ways that Governor Spitzer’s expensive habits are bad for the planet. Shame on you, Governor!

At least that’s what an Austrailian firm claims in its sales pitch for the StreetSurfer, and some riders say it’s true.
They say the four front wheels make for improved steering, cornering, and front wheel tracking. You can buy it in the UK for £399 .

This wind turbine in Denmark went out of control when it’s safety mechanism failed to operate. And the blades went round, and round, and round…until…..
Guys, if you’ve ever had trouble focusing on the issue of peak oil, try watching this video from Oil Release. Then, for a more history-focused video, or to cool down, you can watch this video.
Well, this is sort of a stretch for a Green Options blog, but I couldn’t resist. If you like to take your booze with a floater of politics, or vice versa, then you must read on. If you are a teetotaler, you could just as easily substitute kombucha, yerba mate, or even wheatgrass in place of the alcoholic beverages required for this game. What am I talking about? The official rules for Monday’s 2008 State of the Union Address Drinking Game have finally arrived. And if the prognosticators are as accurate as they have been in previous
years, those who play along might want to call in “sick” for work on Tuesday in advance. I have attempted to play this game a couple of times before and had an absolut(e) blast. From the website:
The general rules of the game are no different from any other drinking game. A drink is either a shot or a good gulp from a beer (or cider). Different events call for different numbers of drinks and all you do is watch the speech and play along. If all goes well, you’ll be unconscious by the time they show the other party’s response.
An eco-example from the Official Rules:
Every time the President introduces an environmental/energy goal that will be met…
…by the end of his presidency…………………………………………………………..1 drink
…by the end of the next administration (assume 8 years)……………….2 drinks
…sometime after the end of the next administration……………………….3 drinks
Please do not drink alcohol in excess. Be sure to practice safe, responsible democratizing.
