  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8What a ricer.
  • TroubleInMind, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Frylock: No, no no. This is the best part, Carl. Press this button and an infared privacy curtain is activated, rendering you virtually invisible!
    Carl: Oh, okay. Sorta like that movie 'Predator'. Only instead of huntin' people, he's like crappin'.
    Frylock: Or the Hollow Man. I mean, you choose your science fiction fantasy: You'll be living it every time you go to the bathroom!
  • punkrockxtian, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Do we need to redefine 'the runs' now or something?
  • Contico, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3No second flush needed.
  • Aliarse, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss this as a prank/photoshop. Theres lots of people out there building quirky machines like this.

    For example, the engine driven Sofa, or the quad in a garden shed are just two of the ones i remember seeing.

    edit - Heres an old top gear video with the above mentioned vehicles, as well as a few other odd ones.. http://www.funny-videos.co.uk/videofunnytransport.html
  • tippmann1, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4give me about 20 minutes and a newspaper and I could break the land speed record in this thing
  • unidentified, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Too bad it doesn't run on fecal matter.
  • dielawn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3that sure isnt a waste of 10g's
  • GilliamOS, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I like that the TP kept getting sucked into the engine. That's really funny to me.
  • fuzzmeister, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2And this is why I love Popular Science.
  • rebopper, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Except there is tread in the bottom of the bowl. Seems a bit messy.
  • DesolataX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2At least it is burning a renewable resource, who knew beans were the ultimate fuel!
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1How is this spam trap web site on the front page of digg?
  • vorakthemad, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It is definitely real. I saw this at an air show in my hometown (La Crosse, WI) a couple years ago. I'm pretty sure the guy who built this has built a lot of other jet powered things as well.
  • dugbay, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2When i read the headline i thought about aqua teen hunger force
  • espek, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I don't see what the big deal is, I always find something unpleasant and distateful when I eat at McDonalds. And it is usually between the two pieces of bread in the hamburgers.

    Oh...that is the burger? Sorry. All is normal. Nothing to see here.
