Tiesto--Spamming is BAD. You are warned. Do not do it again.

More interesting then funny. And no, that's not photoshopped. Here's a little excerpt. Even though the Aeroscraft dwarfs the largest commercial airliners, it requires less net space on the ground than any plane because it doesn't need a runway. The airship takes off and lands like a helicopter: straight up and down. This is not a Blimp. It's a sort of flying Queen Mary 2 that could change the way you think about air travel. It's the Aeroscraft, and when it's completed, it will ferry pampered passengers across continents and oceans as they stroll leisurely about the one-acre cabin or relax in their well-appointed staterooms. Unlike its dirigible ancestors, the Aeroscraft is not lighter than air. Its 14 million cubic feet of helium hoist only two thirds of the craft's weight. The rigid and surprisingly aerodynamic body—driven by huge rearward propellers—generates enough additional lift to keep the behemoth and its 400-ton payload aloft ile cruising. During takeoff and landing, six turbofan jet engines push the ship up or ease its descent. This two-football-fields-long concept airship is the brainchild of Igor Pasternak, whose privately-funded California firm, Worldwide Aeros Corporation, is in the early stages of developing a prototype and expects to have one completed by 2010. Pasternak says several cruise ship companies have expressed interest in the project, and for good reason: The craft would have a range of several thousand miles and, with an estimated top speed of 174 mph, could traverse the continental U.S. in about 18 hours. During the flight, passengers would peer at national landmarks just 8,000 feet below or, if they weren't captivated by the view, the cavernous interior would easily accommodate such amenities as luxury staterooms, restaurants, even a casino. To minimize noise, the aft-mounted propellers will be electric, powered by a renewable source such as hydrogen fuel cells. A sophisticated buoyancy-management system will serve the same purpose as trim on an airplane, allowing for precise adjustments in flight dynamics to compensate for outside conditions and passenger movement. The automated system will draw outside air into compartments throughout the ship and compress it to manage onboard weight. The company envisions a cargo-carrying version that could deliver a store's worth of merchandise from a centralized distribution center straight to a Wal-Mart parking lot or, because the helium-filled craft will float, a year's worth of supplies to an offshore oil rig. "You can land on the snow, you can land on the water," Pasternak says. "It's a new vision of what can be done in the air." Aeroscraft Purpose: Long-range travel for passengers who are more concerned with the journey than the destination Dimensions (feet): 165 h x 244 w x 647 l Max Speed: 174 mph Range: 6,000 miles Capacity: 250 passengers

I believe I have found the funniest X-men video in the history of mankind.
I have to warn you the language is a little extreme. I'm the Juggernaut, Bitch!

Also, Off-Topic Forum =/= Spam Forum. It's a forum for things too frivolous or general for even the General forum, but it is by no means a "Spew random crap!!!" forum. We HAVE no "Spew random crap!!!" forum, section, or thread (We HAD a Spam Thread so that folks would know what NOT to do, but it's closed now). And now for the main posting reason: the following picture from the Console Wars thread. I dunno WHY it wasn't also posted here, but goddammit, it needs to be here. XD

Even though the Garfield Randomizer was taken offline, I took the liberty to cut and paste different panels to make my own comic.
Enjoy!

I couldn't stop laughing when I saw the X-Play review for Dead or Alive 4. Here's a picture.
Check the health bar. Yeah. One attack. |
