Brilliant, I love it!

Have you ever seen Bonk machines?
They are absolutely useless (except they are pieces of art ;-)

Here's Bonk Raba Hiff:

Ex..

I didn't know Ford was still making the Pinto in 1980..

I bought a new 1970 American Motors (brand name Nash) Hornet for $1994 and the new '70 Pinto was selling for $1995...

Believe me, neither was a bargin.

Later, while working with an automotive engineering group, I discovered the 1964 Ford Falcon was and/still considered the perfect standard for engineering excellence. Every component was designed to last 48 months and then be subject to failure - after the warranty expired.

Ahh, the perfect answer to the profit motive.. T'aint bad, huh?

When I was younger like 6 to ahem later…I made up a Buck Rogers type of fictional character that escaped being killed in a war by imprisoning himself in a tube for 3000+ years that fed him martial arts training and whatnot. His car of choice from his timeline was a lime green pinto and the Saab drakko for flying (I would gather due to its delta wing). He would taunt the evil alien armies by crashing into their tanks with his "poison" pinto. And oh yes..he was too cool to hang out with. The good guy army would often call him for special ops and he would often have to save them from being overrun. His ridiculously clever skills in karate, gravity and polarity...so dark and complex. you don't even know!

Anyways..he..like..had this one friend from the good guy army of his that he would team up with. It was weird because their names rhymed for some stupid reason. (I'm not sure if they ever discussed that or not..) In fact now that I think about it the main character sounds like he had ego problems. Right, so anyways they end up fighting this one Japanese guy (one of two left on earth, because the aliens were afraid of them for some reason and exterminated Japan first) that thought the good guys killed his last remaining brother or something. Anyways the main characters friend (the one that rhymes) gets killed by him and there’s all this epic depth I could work with due to all the time I had spent on it. Course it didn't help that my dad came in the room and threw a laundry basket at my head for acting like a jackass. My head bounced back and there was this awkward silence for a while.

Yeah. It was hard doing the improvisational flashback sequence because I never wrote anything down either.

Not sure if I was mature enough to appreciate the interruption, but it right rockin changed the tempo pretty quick.

Well well well... Her Excellency the Countess of Aberdeen has a vulgar sense of humour. (Under H.R.H the Princess of Wales.)

It's a bit hard to read but I think it says Her Excellency the Countess of Aberdeen writes: "That the saddle has given her complete satisfaction."


I'm fairly childish. That's all.

I think I saw the modern version of the Horse-Action Saddle in a video. On the internet. By mistake, of course.

Now that you mention it, it did!

Since we are discussing horses and whatnot…entropy.

I was trying work out the animation for a horse gallop and noticed
the sequence from walk to gallop naturally turns perpendicular. In this case Λ representing direction, n(1,2,3,4) meaning the sequence number and Ω representing the ground contact. (omegas look like horseshoes)

walk Λ 360

2 Ω 4 Ω
1 Ω 3 Ω

gallop Λ 360

3 Ω 4 Ω
1 Ω 2 Ω


So fine..whatever. Horse galloping around who cares whatever right…

But take another looksy….

gallop Λ 360 = walk Λ 090 (perpendicular sequence)

By this same assumption…a horse is really walking east when it gallops to the north! Nothing ever moves.

Run..everyone.


:O <-- terror. Horribilous terrorz!!

Meanwhile, the poor horse gets no exercise (or satisfaction) at all!

Not entirely useless but close enough:
