A famous clip [YouTube], actually. What you're seeing is probably a seizure or epileptic attack.

Also previously on Neatorama :) but it's neat to see it again.

The link does have pics of people riding it.

Now, what I want to know is: where's the gas tank?

The soldier's response was great! Thanks for the compliments, Brett_McS!

I know this post had more comments - but the server ate it... sorry!

I fixed the language a little bit, but otherwise, great find, w.y.!

Wow! This is the perfect post for Neatorama, gail! Thanks!

Yeah, the server did eat the comment by Hannah (sorry!).

Carl, sorry for the server move business. Neatorama does run its own server, and moving it to a larger box simply means headache. Hopefully the new server is faster and worth the extra money.

Believe it or not, I did post a comment on this post, but because of the server update, it got erased. Then I got really busy with the server move and couldn't post another response right away. Anyways, here's what I wrote (more or less):

First of all, thank you for all of your comments - I suppose there's nothing like politics to spark a healthy round of debate and discussion. I also noticed a lot of first-time commenters, so for those folks, welcome!

For those whose comments got erased, please know that it's not censorship - Neatorama got moved to a bigger (and hopefully, faster) server. For a while, there were two copies of Neatorama floating around on the Net - therefore those who commented on the "old" copy (me included), their comments got erased. I apologize for this.

And let me say that for the most part, the comments are very articulate. I had feared that this would be an inane screaming match between the liberals and the conservatives. Believe me, I've had to erase some stupid comments on other posts on this blog (and even close the comment box)!

Now, a number of people wanted Neatorama to stop posting political items. This is a fair request, given Neatorama's history of posting only "neat" stuff (some may argue that this is actually not true, for example, see the howls that I got for posting the Elephant Hanging story). However, I disagree and here's why:

I'd like Neatorama to remain current, and in this election season, politics is a natural and important topic of discussion. Posting political news stories is one way to accomplish this, but there are other blogs that do this better (not to mention news websites).

So, I decided that Neatorama will carry editorial cartoons. The blog now syndicates two cartoonists: Steve Sack of the Minneapolis Star Tribune and Nick Anderson of the Houston Chronicle.

Now, these guys are award-winning cartoonists (Nick even won the 2005 Pulitzer Prize!), but I must confess that I chose them because I like their cartoon styles!

Obviously, I don't control what they draw, although I do pick and choose which cartoons to post. Steve Sack is a liberal cartoonist, while Nick Anderson is a "in-the-middle" guy (or supposed to be anyhow, I think he's leaning to the left!). It's my intention to syndicate a third, conservative, cartoonist. But these guys cost money, and so I thought I'd start with two.

Some people mentioned Boing Boing, DailyKos, and other prominent blogs. Let me say that it's an honor to be compared to them. Obviously, controversy didn't hurt them in the least bit, and I can only hope that Neatorama will continue to grow in readership just like these blogs.

So, is Neatorama a liberal blog? I don't think so, but you be the judge. I don't mind if you either love or hate Neatorama, as long as you don't think it's boring!

In closing, I'd like to thank everyone who commented - I appreciate their point of views. I hope you will continue to read the blog, participate by commenting and suggesting stories, and (I hope) telling your friends about Neatorama.

All right, all right guys - you're all right. It was late at night and I was sleepy. :) Still, kind of strange of that cow, huh?

Mike, this is an excerpt from Snopes:

Disney's White Wilderness was filmed in Alberta, Canada, which is not a native habitat for lemmings and has no outlet to the sea. Lemmings were imported for use in the film, purchased from Inuit children by the filmmakers. The Arctic rodents were placed on a snow-covered turntable and filmed from various angles to produce a "migration" sequence; afterwards, the helpless creatures were transported to a cliff overlooking a river and herded into the water.

There are some very valid points brought up here: fraud, regardless of the method of voting, can happen. But if we can transact billions of dollars in online shopping, surely we can tackle eVoting.

Just like Mumbai/Bombay, Tomato, Tomahto.

Chad's referring to an incident, reported in Miami Herald, where:

"Several South Florida voters say the choices they touched on the electronic screens were not the ones that appeared on the review screen -- the final voting step."

e-voting can be done right (open source), see this Wired article.

It's saying: eat chicken or else!

Is it still an urban legend if it's true, Bart?

Link corrected, thanks Ant!
