  1. I'm curious to know where #6 is. Also just why?

    1. Not sure where this road is, but they have that cross highway interchange system in Sarasota, FL. It looks freaky at first, but it moves traffic from 2 major roads onwards or onto the other road to continue in a new direction.

    2. I was thinking the same thing. It works surprisingly well.

  5. Starker here,
    #9 Trying to figure him out.
    a. Young, dumb, & full of, well you know.
    b. More money than brains.
    c. His parents car
    d. Does the U.K.'s NHS cover skin grafts.
    That boy has had got quite the steam bath, flash boil of rusty water. It may have been pressurized by a bad head gasket or cracked head. I doubt he'll ever do that again, with that hand at least.

  6. #6.....Where is that and who designed it?

  7. #9, SDS (scalded dog syndrome) I laughed at the chunks blowing out of the radiator though

  8. #9 - That's a hot engine - probably toast. The way he's dancing around in the background probably means a nasty burn. Don't fuck with steam.

    1. Usually, if the cooling system still is full of coolant, the engine will not get hot enough to damage it. if you drive with the coolant gone, you can loose a head gasket or crack a block or a head.

    2. And steam burns bloody HURT.
      I've read that some of the worst injuries in WWII in Navy ships that took fire were sailors in a compartment where a steam line was punctured or fractured

    3. Hot steam washes away the skin .not fun .

  9. #9, I had a friend who did that and spent over a month putting vitamin "e" on the whole inside part of his arm to get rid of the scaring the hot coolant left.
    Most anytime we'd sit for awhile he'd pull out one of the vitamin "e" jell caps, use a push pin to put a hole in it and rub it into the scaring.
    It worked!

    1. My dog's nose was drying right up, so bad he was coughing and having trouble breathing. The vet said pop a vitamin E cap and rub some on his nose. I thought she was nuts but within 2 days he was good as new. He got that once a day for the rest of his life, never had a problem again.

    2. I have put the Vit E on a lot of skin things. Works well. Cysts, even warts

  10. #2 sat in a class by the #2 Escrima (stick fighting style) fighter in the US. He said GunFu wins over KungFu pretty much every time.

    Good gun handling skills.

  11. #5 needs a paw up.
    #6... despite those super clean streets, I'm kinda happy to drive on American roads.
    #7 Karma might just have some diabetes in her future; unless she can't afford to eat.
    #8 Blonde.
    #9 Sometimes I have to tell a family member to back away from an overheated car engine, just in case they get that idea of "I have I do something!". Steam expands around 1,400X and the temps are >400*F. TMK, cars have freeze plugs to prevent catastrophic failure and you can hear the water boiling.

  12. I 've seen videos of #2 , the cop is a dickhead. Good to see he doesn't know everything like he thinks he does.

  13. #1 - alcohol was involved.
    #7 - bitch.

  14. I'd love to see the aftermath of #1.

    #6 I'm just imagining the daily chaos this would create in my city. We do have a few famously crazy intersections though so who knows?

    #8: I'd say "dumb and pretty is my type" but I have repeatedly walked into the same low light fixture within the last year, so it happens.

    #9 reminds me of a guy I went to high school with. He was always "tinkering" with his car, taking it apart and putting it back together. Thought he was an expert, but more than once I remember him saying things like "We put it back together and there's 12 screws left." His car used to overheat a lot.

  15. #9 - BMW owner should have stuck to learning indicator switch functions.

  16. #6 I think the road on the right goes up the hill so, innovative if unnerving, the first time.

    #2 My first though was using a retention hold on that pistol and if that isn't the next step in the class, the whole exercise seems designed to get someone killed down the line.

    1. Had a ccw instructor (also a cop) put a dummy gun in my hand and set up that 'gun in face' disarm. Any chump amateur 'stick up boy' that does that is more likely to face shoot a victim if fucked with. Give up the wallet & be right quick about it! Took the dummy gun stood in front of dip stick cop with gun down low at my side and in a most serious voice said "throw your fucking wallet on the ground and leave" he threw it short and i shot him. Asshole.

  17. #9 Bad maintenance. The spurts of brown indicate a bad water pump. The brown is the rust from the bearings. An occasional check when the radiator is cool would have shown the problem before it started clogging things up. Now it's new engine time. Aluminum blocks can't take that much heat.

  18. #2 reminds me of one I saw where they were teaching knife disarms. There were 6 big male black belts and one small female black belt. The teacher took her off to the side and talked to her for about 10-15 minutes. Then he told the other guys to try and disarm her. The most successful one was only stabbed 5 times. No "dojo ballerina", she was all over them like stink on shit. More like a prison shanking than what they were used to. And VERY true to life.

    1. If it's a turbo knozzle, you can etch concrete or cut through that fence by not keeping it moving.

  20. From my Dad, who worked as a civilian employee at the Philly Navy Yard: Respect steam! A pinpoint hole in a superheated steam line produces a virtually invisible jet that can cut damn near anything.

  21. I had a distant cousin, Charles Clark, who worked his way up to chief engineer of a West Coast up to Alaska steamship line. He had a bunch of stories about the dangers of 600+ PSI steam. Near the origin of a pinhole or hairline crack, it is an invisible gas only becoming visible some distance from the leak as the gas cooled and condensed back to a plume of water droplets. Crewmen have lost limbs and their lives with little to no bleeding as the steam cut them and cauterized the wounds at the same time. The smart ones searched for leaks with a broom, when the steam cut the broom bristles off, there was the leak. He was one of the smart ones, living well into his nineties and sharp as a tack 'til the end.
