Truck Drives Backwards At 70 MPH

I get the feeling that this truck driver (video below) has watched Pixar's Cars film too much and thought he'd try Mater's backwards driving trick for himself. Of course Mater isn't a huge transport truck nor is he even real.

Make sure you listen to the woman taking the video saying that they're doing 70 MPH and the truck was pulling away from them... backwards! 70 MPH is around 112 KPH, imagine that truck jackknifing in front of you!

The only reason I can think of someone risking so much to pull off this stunt is to keep their tacho down, but seriously, is it worth killing yourself (and maybe a bunch of other people) over?

Tim's Crap of the Day

I got this hilarious video today with the following text:

It's a worry if these buffoons are debating agricultural issues in parliament.

As they say, politics is show business for ugly people.

The "buffoon" in question is Mr Jason Wood MP, Member for La Trobe.

Tim's Crap of the Day

I got an email this morning from Tim with the following instructions:

GO TO THE FOLLOWING SITE, it is Portuguese but it doesn't matter:

http://www.tatuagemdaboa.com.br

1 - TYPE YOUR FIRST NAME ON THE 1st LINE
2 - TYPE YOUR LAST NAME ON THE 2nd LINE
(Skip your e-mail address.)
3 - Click on 'Vizualizar' and watch what happens ... & don't ask me how they do that!

Looks like a clever overlay on a Flash video... well done though. :)

PS: Don't worry, it's not going to download a virus or anything.

The Website Is Down

If you've ever worked in IT Support or know someone who has worked in IT support you've probably already seen this video. Watch as a hapless web help guy deals with various people in his company when he is accidentally asked to restart a web server. It's hilarious (give it a chance to get into it).

My favourite part? When the guy Remote Desktops over to the sales guy's PC. :)

Thanks Matt!
