There’s something fishy about this car! Sometimes you’ve gone just a bit too far in your bid to be “out there”. The Sashimi Tabernacle Choir singing fish car is just a bit out there. If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if you ate those poisonous mushrooms from the forest and went out to work on your car- this is it. It’s a standard 1984 Volvo covered in hundreds of plastic singing fish and lobsters. They are all linked up and computer controlled to sing any number of songs programmed in. What’s more annoying than one singing Big Bass fish? 300 singing big bass fish! Here’s some video of the fish in action:

Longest Motorcycle in the World

Posted on Wednesday 9 July 2008

longest-motorcycle Longest Motorcycle in the WorldThe problem with motorcycles is that you can only take maybe 1 other person on them with you. Maybe 2 if you have one of those dorky Indiana Jones style sidecars. But never your whole baseball team. This world’s longest motorcycle is incredibly, well, long. It has about 14 seats and looks like a giant beam with seats. No videos of it in action, so I can’t quite tell how it steers, but I imagine you probably have to take the turns quite wide and with some coordinated leaning into the turns from your mass of passengers. I know I wouldn’t want to ride on this- it looks like part of some sort of carnival ride was detached and put on wheels. One thing is for certain- it’s long.

Hyperbike is a Swimmingly Weird Bicycle

Posted on Monday 7 July 2008


Check out this video of the Hyperbike which is a sort of bicycle you swim in. Or float through. The music is quite ethereal. He uses both his hands and legs to pedal at the same time. Supposedly it can get going up to 50mph. It looks like steering is done by pedaling more with one arm than the other, which seems somewhat imprecise. It does look fun though.
