Raiders of the Lost Ark (1951)

This is pretty awesome... some dude went thru and spliced a bunch of 50s movies together to make an Indy trailer.

This one has it frame by frame explaining the movies, etc. Pretty cool!

50 Years of Car Safety

The videos are different. The curb weights are surprisingly close (in the comments). I like the top view of the first video plus the interior views of the bottom.

Fwd: This cat drinks water more strangely than even yours

Yes, it surely does. For those who don't know, Freya splashes her paw into the water and then licks the paw clean.

Interesting points...

Forwarded from my dad...


If  George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take Laura Bush to a play in NYC, would you have  approved?  


 

If  George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan's holdings of GM stock by  90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have  approved?  

    

If  George W.  Bush had made a joke at the expense of the  Special Olympics, would you have approved?


 

If  George W. Bush had given Gordon  Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when  Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and  historically significant gift, would you  have approved?


 

If  George W. Bush had given the Queen of  England an iPod containing videos of  his speeches, would you have thought this embarrassingly

narcissistic and  tacky?


 

If  George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia , would you have approved?


 

If  George W. Bush had visited Austria   and made reference to the non-existent"Austrian language," would you  have brushed it off as a minor  slip?


 

If  George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers  with people who cannotseem to keep current on their income taxes,  

would you have approved?              

If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as  to refer to "Cinco de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador when it  was the fourth of May (Cuatro de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, would you have winced in  embarrassment?

 If George W.  Bush had mis-spelled the word advice would you have hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle and  potatoe as proof of what a dunce he is?

If George W.  Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded he's a hypocrite?

 

If George W.  Bush's administration had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of  people followed

by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually get what happened  on 9-11?


If George W.  Bush had been the first President to need a teleprompter installed to be  able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how he inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?  

 

If George W.  Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout  the Midwest with more

people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans ,  would you want it made into a major ongoing

political issue with claims of  racism and incompetence?


 

If  George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a  major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to  do so,

would you have  approved?


 

If  George W. Bush  had proposed to double the national debt, which had taken more than  two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?

 
 

If  George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within  10 years, would you have approved?


 

So, tell  me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and  impressive?


 

Can't think of anything? Don't worry.

He's done all  this in 5 months -- so you'll have three years and seven months to come up with an answer.
