Snow Cruiser

Have a look at this awesome piece of machinery!

It was constructed in the 1930's for intended use on Antarctica. It was eventuelly shipped to the South Pole, but never became a real succes. One of its flaws was its limited offroad ability. After driving off the ship at Bay of Whales, it sank to it's axles into the snow and the smooth rubber tires just spun helpless. The crew tried mounting spare tires doubling the front wheels, and mounted chains around the back wheels for extra traction, but performance was never as expected. Read the full story on the Snow Cruiser.


Some really strange laws

Today I came across some really strange laws that still exists in this world. Let me show you some examples:

  • In Victoria Australia, only a licensed electrician is allowed to change a lightbulb.
  • In Indonesia, the penalty for masturbation is decapitation.
  • In Switzerland it is against the law for men to urinate standing up after 10pm which is the same time that it is illegal to flush the toilet.
  • In the UK, a pregnant woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants – even, if she so requests, in a policeman’s helmet.
  • In Birmingham, England, it is illegal for a man and a woman to have sex on church steps after sundwon.
Here is the complete list of strange laws
