License to Rant is a blog of license plates, particularly vanity plates that cause you to scratch your head and wonder what they were thinking. This one was inspired by the wedding scene in The Princess Bride. Others are so hard to decipher that commenters leave their best guess. Link ~via Grow~A~Brain

This cat apparently didn’t read the cat manual. At least the page that states cats do not learn tricks. ~via Unique Daily

Six-year-old James Scowcroft came up with the idea of a talking schoolbag, which can remind students of the things they need to pack.
The Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester, England sponsored the competition. I want two, as I repeat myself too many times about packing a schoolbag every morning! Link ~via Arbroath
James devised his Robo Rucksack, with flashing antenna and five buttons to allow the owner to pre-record messages, as part of a museum competition.
James's bag was judged the best and turned into reality by design firm Innovate.
James said he is keen to keep on inventing in the future, with a rucksack that helps with the cleaning next on his list, along with a time machine to allow him to see the way his mum looked "in the old days".

The new ad for Guiness stout will debut on TV tonight, but is available on the net already. It shows the biggest domino fall you can imagine.

Shot in an Argentinian mountainside village, it features a game of dominoes which escalates to include suitcases, tyres, oil drums, fridges, wardrobes and cars.
Proving that "Good Things Come to Those Who Wait", it culminates with the pages of 10,000 books flipping open to create a giant pint of Guinness.
The advert, part of a £10 million campaign, was directed by Nicolai Fuglsig, who was behind the Sony Bravia "balls" commercial.

If someone told me the local iceberg was collapsing, I would be out there with the crowd watching it. This was recorded in Argentina. The show gets more intense toward the end. ~via Ursi’s Blog
Update: I did a little digging, and this has been identified as the Perito Moreno Glacier {wiki} in Los Glaciares National Park. The breakup is a natural phenomena that can be forecasted, but it’s not regular, happening every one to ten years. It's a big tourist attraction.
wedged between the walls of a mountain crevice in norway is a rock called kjeragbolten. the rock is often stood on by tourists for a crafty photograph whilst attempting not to look down at the 3000ft+ drop. i’m assuming the sheep/goat in the picture below was a local.
Kjeragbolten is just one of a collection of "rocks that rock" today at deputy dog. http://deputy-dog.com/2007/11/06/these-rocks-rock/

A barstool powered by a V8 engine? Sounds dangerous, but the top speed is 25 miles per hour. Manufactured by California Boss Hoss, these were seen at the SEMA car show in Las Vegas last week. You can buy a kit to build your own for about $8,000, engine not included. Link to story. Link to video. -via Unique Daily
