Action-figure fotonovela story of
Passover 04/19/2005 03:38 AM
Cory Doctorow: It's no secret that many of the Golden Age comic book underpants heroes are Jewish, just like their creators -- Eisner, Lee, et al. This hilarious action-figure fotonovela explores what happens when Ben Grimm, AKA The Thing, discovers his Jewish roots, just in time for Passover. I nearly snarfed Manischewitz when the "Prophet Elijah" showed up for his glass of wine. Print this one out and slip it into your haggadahs, I dare ya. Li nk (Thanks, Isaac B2!)

Figure Eight Train Racing

Figure Eight Train Racing 03/26/2005 09:53 PM

I stumbled across something on SpeedTV today that has to be seen to be believed: figure-eight train racing. Not real trains — three cars lashed together to act like a train.

The first car is the only powered car. Usually something big, old, and American — mid seventies Monte Carlos seemed quite popular. The driver of this car steers and works the throttle. The car has no brakes.

Attached to the back of the first car by chains and a tow bar is the middle car, which has nothing. No engine, no brakes, no driver. Just an empty shell.

Attached to the back of that by chains is the caboose. No engine, no steering, but it has brakes and a driver. God help him.

Now, take eight of these perversions of automotive theory and put them on a figure eight track. Seriously. Then race them for 10 laps.

The race I watched ended with no hits in the crossover, which surprised me. What's amazing is watching the caboose get whipped around like a rag doll. The rear driver is supposed to be able to put some tension on the train by using the brake, but I couldn't see any difference. Any quick steering movement up front got wildly exaggerated by the time it rippled back to the rear and that guy was just along for the ride.

I wish I had a picture to show you, but a few minutes of Googling turned up nothing. Half of me thinks the whole thing was just a nightmare.

I put this in today's Question Mark, but enough people have asked about it I figured it deserved time on the front page. Keeping it short, here's a breakdown of basic figure prices by retail chain. Prices may vary, but they should look something like this: KB Toys: $7.99 K-Mart: $6.99 (2 for $11.00 4/3 - 4/9) Target: $5.99 ($4.99 with coupon, drops to $5.00/$4.00 4/3) Toys 'R' Us: $5.29 (Price good until 4/9) Wal*Mart: $5.24 Happy hunting, and don't forget to price match where you can!
