Funk Buddy are you in the 1 800 BE PETTY car?

[Funk_Buddy]

Nope, there's nobody in the car it's just the helmet hanging up.

Let me say this... do you know how many games I could buy for the cost of doing that!?! My mom bought my step dad the ride along and an eight lap package for $500. It was for their anniversary I believe.

Old SEGA ads.

[James]

I can imagine they were in the Viz comic.

[UNFORGIVINGPAIN]

Viz comic, Is that like Mad magazine?

[James]

Maybe. It's an adult comic with characters like Buster Gonads & His Unfeasibly Large Testicles. Fat Slags. Johnny Fartpants. Doctor Poolittle.


So you can imagine what kind of a comic it is.

[UNFORGIVINGPAIN]

Sounds interesting. Mad is not just for adults. Mad magazine is mainly spoofs.

Thirty second exposure of the Enginnering Mall Fountain at Purdue:

[img width=576 height=731]http://www.hydrobond.net/forum/rfgeneration/2007.05.23%20006.jpg[/img]

The fountain has four vertical parabolic structures with a one large jet of water spraying up through the center. It is surrounded by benches for enjoying the fountain. It was never built with a fence around it or a pool for the water to collect, but rather a drain in the center to resupply the water to the main jet. The fountain stands 38 feet tall and is made of 228 tons of concrete. The total cost of the fountain is believed to be around $350,000. It sprays 588 gallons of water per minute into the air while it is running. Colored lights illuminate the water during the evening.

[Hydrobond]

^thanks

and

^^thanks

I would have more but the fountain shut off about 5 minutes after I got there.  I had never seen it shut off before.  I think it was only temporary, but it was for longer than I decided to stay and wait.  Should have more next week.

Just for kicks...

Unf/rtunately, those two were taken with and ISO of 1600, which made them very noisy.  The first pic (in the other post) was taken with an ISO of 100, which may have even been a bit too slow.  I am going to try again with the ISO set to around 400 and see if that comes out right.
