This is a story about the evils of Vodka. I have always, well since knowing anything about the drink, thought of it as a silent and deadly killer; unfortunately i didn't heed my own advice on Thursday night.

My apartment mates and i started playing around 10 pm with three player games, and somewhere around midnight someone wanted a drink.

The Rules:
If you collect a female, you drink; you collect a special card, you drink; you get last place you drink; collect the dead female hooker and you drink twice.

Drinking can be used as a handicap in some cases, in this instance, i still won 70 % of the games played, even being the most drunk. Granted i messed up the order of one game, but i was still winning.
Then the room started spinning after most of my 5th glass.

Semi-memorable quotes of the evening:
"Stop doing the drug test and play a card"
Context: Me and Tim were trying to walk a strait line on the carpet, i notable failed both attempts.

"I don't need help, just a direction."
Context: I was way past my limit here, and had closed my eyes and was crawling on the floor. I knew where the bath room was, i just needed to be pointed in the right direction....

thanks to res.ninja for finding this and showing it to me here. this has got to be the coolest thing I've seen in the automotive world in... well ever, really.

Seriously, a shape shifting car that is cheaper to make and lighter more fuel efficient? Sign me up!

from geekologie.com, these are some scary / almost fake looking mega war machines. I mean seriously, lightning canons? Do we need those?
