Wonderduck and Den Beste are, for some reason, talking drag racing today. Den Beste has a bunch of great drag-racing facts like this one:
- One Top Fuel dragster’s 500-cubic-inch Hemi engine makes more horsepower than the first four rows at the Daytona 500.
Wow.
Also: Wow again.
Go read the rest. Amazing stuff.
I’d love to know how many MPG these things get. Actually, that wouldn’t make any sense, since I’m sure it’s less than one. Perhaps FPG (feet per gallon?) would be a more useful statistic?
This is Why We Can’t Have Short Criticism
Here's how this site grew from short essays to novel-length quasi-analytical retrospectives.
Bad and Wrong Music Lessons
A music lesson for people who know nothing about music, from someone who barely knows anything about music.
What is Piracy?
It seems like a simple question, but it turns out everyone has a different idea of right and wrong in the digital world.
If Star Wars Was Made in 2006?
Imagine if the original Star Wars hadn't appeared in the 1970's, but instead was pitched to studios in 2006. How would that turn out?
The Best of 2014
My picks for what was important, awesome, or worth talking about in 2014.
I must say that I am thouroghly uninteresed
No problem. Check it out: I’ve coded some special features in this site that will enable you to not have to read it. If you try NOT clicking on the link in question you’ll NOT be taken so the site, and so you won’t have to read it.
The feature is still in beta, and it isn’t quite foolproof yet. For example, if you accidently click on the unwanted link, you will need to use the browser “back” button to come back here. If you don’t do this quickly enough, you may end up reading the uninteresting material. I’m still working on a solution to this.
And no fair stealing my idea: I plan to patent this.
Is there a direct link to that article? Sounds interesting, but I’m not spotting it immediately.
