Old style, baby!
I doubt they even spin.
*points out the blur in the picture around the brooms, showing obviously they are spinning… unless its ph’ed…which it isn’t*
No comment *comments anyways*
Fruit, do you recall the old saying? “If you don’t have something good to say, don’t say anything at all?”
Don’t know why that popped into my head…
I’m also fond of the saying “less is more.”
Fruit, this was for you. Maybe you’ll find it helpful.

I so want one of those machines!
are u suggesting that he has a child so he can give him/her that puzzle?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
So if you have no money you have all the money?
Um, no.
So, if you leave fail blog now you won’t be berated into fruitcake crumbs? p.s. congrats on the head cold.
I really like the atmosphere here at FB. I don’t comment much and I really don’t want to get into a serous rant here so I’ll try to make it short.
I realize there’s been some underage-troll-related tension at times and people are somewhat on edge regarding that matter.
*makes an honest effort to lighten things up by taking a break to missspel stuff and mension baconlube*
It makes me feel a bit bad though to see that it seems to affect the otherwise happy attitude around here. I can only hope I never accidentally “piss off the regulars” since right now it seems like an all too easy mistake to make.
Finally I’d like to extend the advice to leave the hating to the trolls.
And hereby I promise to never get this serious ever again.
Oh, and swine flu.
Cheers/Olur
Welcome to Fail Blog, Olur!Thanks
I realize I might have tried to nip an already fading weed in the bud, so to speak, but what can I do?
*blames the sine flu*
Hi Olur!
I welcome newbies. Just common courtesy is required.
Point well taken.
Welcome, Olur!
We are not haters. We are very tolerant here, but sometimes enough is enough! Some people just do not understand the hints given and have to be dealt with a bit more forcefully. Only the odious, obnoxious trolls that sink their teeth in do we have banished from our kingdom.
*squeezes Olur*
Obviously, yes.
I´m fond of “No means Yes”
I like this one:
A wise man speaks because he has something to say. A fool speaks because he has to say something.
– Plato
It is better to keep your mouth closed and be thought a fool, than to speak and confirm it?
- Can’t remember (sorry)
Speak softly and carry a big stick. -Roosevelt (I think)
“Well I speak LOOOOOUD! And I carry a BIIIIIIGGER stick! and I use it, too!” *BONK*
People can have the model-T in any color they like, as long as its black – henry ford
It’s an aphorism that been popularized by many people. There’s no one definitive source.
Thankyou
“I invented the internet.” – Al Gore
Erm….
*eyes the moomin’s avatar with great trepidation*
Get out of my chair, dillhole! A A Milne
Abraham Lincoln
I prefer to believe it was originally said by Mark Twain.
That was Abraham Lincoln.
This actually originated in the Bible. Proverbs 17:28 says it a little bit nicer, but the point gets across, just the same.
Why did you say that?
I panicked.
*helps moomin panic*
I thought the saying was “If you’ve got nothing good to say…….. then you must be talking about Hillary Clinton!”
I recall Arthur Eld telling you this yesterday.
So then it might actually work, in which case it isn’t fail. If you live in a country where they don’t have the real deal and you have to cobble it together out of random crap, then that’s awesome if it works.
that’s what I was about to say.
Yeah. It’s not like oldschool brooms somehow work less than modern synthetic ones…
can you tell by the pixels
Ingenuity win?
*throws away BaconLube quickly before LEILA can see*
*shakes head* TSK TSK! Anyway, I have given up. You do what you please with whatever animal you want.
indeed it cleans the windshield at the same time the street
Fruit, that’s where tractors have their PTO (see link) I’d be surprised if they don’t spin, considering getting them to spin would be simpler then constructing the whole bizarre arrangement.
Old style is FAIL style !
Old school! I <3 it so inventive, so, so… so… FAIL! But on just FAIL It’s FAILTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Creativity win! Necessity is the mother of all invention.
Yeah this is actually pretty awesome.
The wicked witch of the west is probably having an orgasm at the sight of this
obv. thats a win
its sweeptastic
Swept me off my feet. Then hit me in my head.
I didn’t know fish had feet.
Some kind of automatic Cat o’ nine tails?
They should have attached ShamWows
instead of brooms.
Streets would sparkle then.
Shamwows would make the streets dirtier.
They’ve been used for too many wrong things.
Does that mean we’re dirtier too for using them
or is that just our normal state of being?
Even thinking of shamwows makes me feel dirty
*squeeze* *helps the Moomin clean himself off*
Afternoon!
*squeeze*
The weekend is fast upon us!
I know, I can’t wait! The day feels like it’s dragging, but luckily I’ve been getting everything done I need to before I leave in 2 weeks. How are you doing today Moomin?
Am fine thankyou, although I have no plans for the weekend.
Guess we will have to see what happens.
Have a good one!
*squeeze*
*waves*
*SQUEEZE!!!*
WoopWoop!
Vince here with ShamWow!
Every time you use it
You’re going to say wow!
That’s why we call it the ShamWow!
Nah,Galting guns instead of brooms would be alot better in a warzone!
Roger, we are ready for liftoff….

how is this fail?
epic win to the choppah sweepah!
It’s fail ‘cuz it’s using brooms.
That makes no sense…
Neither does this. *pours a gallon of streetwater into a vat of octo-moms*
I think both comments made sense, just in a non-sensical way.
I concur doctor

No, just a Bostonian.

Learning Insolubility
This is awesome. I can see it sweeping little pebbles off the street and flinging them at people or other “cars”.
So, it’s a pedestrian attacker?
Is that the Chinese time machine? (Clicky)
Nice. But it’s definitely Chinese, judging by the smog.
*clickie me ^^^*
Why’s everyone want a clickie?
Clickie is the IN thing. Everyone is doing it.
So…. How does one get a clickie? *fruitcakeness*
First, your headcold maybe be swine flu *webmd says so (not)*. Second, just add the URL address in the empty space below your E-mail (required – never shown publicly) field.
Lol ok.
{/sillyness}
wow! I like that one LEILA I will bloviate profusely about it.
Be sure you wear protection as you…um, bloviate.
…and I appreciate it. 
I can’t believe I’m going to admit this, but I actually enjoyed that little vocabulary test. (I’m such a nerd…)
I go there every once in a while, I like the vocab tests too.
*facepalm*
Laud = PRAISE… How can I get it wrong every time!?
Check out this guy, FSA, you wish you were this cool. please pay special attention to the Mars Volta song, I cheered (they are my favorite band, and noone ever knows who they are.)
oh, yhea. *clicky*
nice laugh track. That’s the funniest part of the whole thing.
No, that’s the I-just-built-this-thing-with-random-parts-and-idk-what-it-does machine.
Like…….. Art?
Defiantly performance art.
Why would it be defiant?
“Behave performance art! Do as I say!”
Why would it be defiant?
“Bad performance art! Do as I say!”
Why would it be defiant?
‘Bad performance art! Do as I say!’
like f you
Smog plus Chinese characters on the building in the background.
Oops. I meant to reply to Brewski. Ah well…
and who are you to excuse….?
We’ll be having seminars on how to reply to messages later today, please plan on attending.
Ah, yes, Chinese characters. But those were clearly photoshopped in.
As was the rest of the picture. It was blank before (pixels and stuff).
Dennis Potter upgraded to a helicopter.
But can it fly? That is the $1000000 question.
Or, more to the point, Will it Blend?
Is it a good idea to microwave this?
Ooh, guys, no–not the fruitcake! Now, that’s just WRONG.
*laterolateral headmovements*
Welcome on…Who wants to be a Millonair!
*squeeze* Hey czuhc!
Wow! The technology is really getting advanced these days on Gilligan’s Island!
*says hello to mrs_z*
*says hello back and secretly agrees about the fruitcake*
Cletus’ first attempt at a helicopter did not go quite as planned, but next time he vowed to fly like Avis!
So true. yet I’d say it’s a silly car.
This is no time to talk about clito…oh, Cletus…My bad. Carry on.
*sweeps Leila into a vat of BaconLube*
*places lid on vat*
Now, in 2min, we ride her down the hill like a sled.

Remember to let go.
*smacks Ale with a big red pen after LEILA is done with him* Is proper grammar that hard? *smacks Ale again with the pen*
*lets go of Ale’s tongue afterwards*

Thanks Avis
For the last time Leila SEND PICTURES!!!! I always miss these sexy comments until its too late.
*hoses everyone down with cold water*
Damn it I’m all wet! *shakes water off all over everyone*
*Can now clearly see Leilas nipples throug her shirt…..*
And this is where I leave Leila to her own devices.
“Her own devices”??
*covers eyes*
*flies*
obviously
I suppose I should have said “flies away”, but whatever.
*SQUEEZE*
*SQUEEZE* right back at you! How are you this fine Friday? This is Friday right?
Avis, one wild binge over the weekend and you lose track of the days already?
*squeeze!*
*blushes*
My usual weekend schedule got thrown off simply by having guests. And the week has been kinda different too. Clickie.
*squeeze!*
I’m right there with you Avis. I thought yesterday was Wednesday and didn’t set my alarm for today thinking it was going to be Saturday. I guess I just want Friday to be over with for some reason.
@Avis: Mmmmmm, caprese salad!! Life is good.
I’m good! I’m happy this week is over. *still has a job*
Been running more since the deluge of the past week finally ended.
How’s you?
Oh fine, procrastinating. I should be cleaning right now. If you really want to know what’s up clickie.
*read some of it actually*
Life sounds pretty steamy.
bukkit please.
No need! *borrows ’s’ and holds it until someone needs it*
*SQUEEZE*
Such a gentleman
I guess that’s why we call you Mr. Cuddles!
It started off with a single broom, until it cracked and splintered.
A big broom in the middle?
A wizard with many little brooms.
Big broom theory?
*has to go soon
Not soon enough.
I don’t like your attitude, young man.
*sits on a comfy chair to watch the massacre*
*opens beer*
I meant to say thanks yesterday for your efforts, Arthur. I know you felt just a tad bit of remorse, but as you can see, you needn’t have.
I guess you’re right. Sad.
So sad… I guess it goes both ways.
*Ignores overused failblog rule #21*
In soviet Russia massacre watches YOU!
Hey, Fruitcake, stop replying to every comment. It’s irritating. Read the comments and THINK about what people are saying. If you don’t understand why someone wrote what they did, that’s your cue to sit on your hands.
.
We like your enthusiasm, but the incessant chatter is making it LESS fun for everyone else.
.
I’m beginning to think you’re being irritating on purpose.
Here here, Admiral. Nothing personal fruitcake, but mellow out a bit. If you keep spamming the board all the time, you’ll eventually find that everybody will ignore you.
… or you’ll get banned. May happen.
Yes but I would hope that wouldn’t be needed. That’s usually reserved for the truly hostile idiots. Our resident reformed trolls give me hope! Perhaps I’m naive. *sighs*
I would certainly hope that Mr. Cake is not a troll. However, I did notice that commented on every, single thread…
Quality over quantity.
Aaaand… he’s gone again! Every time someone’s making the effort to explain certain things he doesn’t see it!
The *comments anyway* post way up there^^^ set me off. It knows what it’s doing, methinks.
If it is a troll…I give it props.
Oh lordy, I’m glad someone finally said this. I skipped over two or three threads because all I saw was this guy’s avatar all over the place, and he has yet to say one funny or interesting thing.
Sorry I missed the Fantasia reference AA. On the plus side I now have plenty of bukkits to choose from.
All’s well that ends well.
As you like it!
thank god
I kind of see this as a creativity win lol Yay unique problem solving skills!
We’re streaking!
*runs past*
*looks*
*spits out coffe*
*adds an ‘e’*
Lol.
*flaps in the wind*
*flys high in the sky*
SHIT I GOT NO WINGS!
*quickly falls to ground*
*Places bukkit under FSA*
*adds extra “E” to coffe*
Where did my e go!?
There’s 3 in “Eeyore”. I’d say you have plenty.
*leaves for another cup of coffe*
Thank you for that! *shimmies some e’s*
*squeeze* *shimmies with Malicit3*
Less then two weeks!
Welcome back FSA, we thought we scared you away! I always liked your spirit though. (Can I have some vodka)
*passes sofaking some vodka with a lemon wedge in the top part of the glass*
*swipes arm at drink violently spilling it everwhere* I ask for Vodka and you bring me Smirnoff!! Go get me Belvedere!
*brings belvedere with a small paper parasol*
*realizes its only 10:26 EST and everyone is watching*
No thanks, isn’t it a little early to start drinking?
You asked NOW DRINK BOY! *throws a pencil at a fire hydrant*
That was highly ineffective.
*converts to effectiveness*
*Converts to Judiaism…for purpose of not missing football on Sundays.*
*realizes I miss pork, converts to Atheism*
Yay! My weekends are finaly free!
You’re my boy blue!
I’m a blue boy?
That was cold.
But when is it warm?
*pees*
*gets angry at having to clean up cat piss*
Well your not gonna like what I put in the lawn.
>:O *pokes wolfgang*
I deserved that…
*looks forlawn at the prospect*
*mows lawn*
*didn’t recognise the avatar*
*Shoots a dart into FSA’s neck*
*starts a fire*
*Invites all round for some fruitcake*
*comes back to life*
That hurt. *facepalms grannycatflap*
Takes FSA up to the elbow
Moomin, there’s something vaguely disturbing about your new avatar.
*schedules appointment with psychotherapist*
What’s disturbing about a man handling a giant sausage?
Wait, he has a new avatar??!!?!?
I deny everything
*squeeze*
We’ve had a stellar lack of Moominity lately :/
*squeeeeeeeze*
It’s the weekend soon though!
Woo!
You’re becoming an eeyore?
*nods*
Unexplainable things are happening to my body :/
At least you’re not a sausage!
*kinda wants to be a sausage now*
Wouldn’t you like to be a sausage toooooooo?
My sausage has a first name, it’s M-O-O-M-in!
My sausage has a second name, it’s … er… it’s…nevermind.
*dreams of one day being an Irish Sausage*
Ethel! Come back here, Ethel!
*squeeze*
*squeeze!*
You should see the mess it made of that group of witches!
*sees the mess it made of witches*
*sees Wolf*
There can only be one…
*evil stare*
I say win! this is epicly awesome!
No one knows by what manner of magic the witches were all drawn to collide into the tractor that fateful day.
King Witch?
Like a king rat, but with witches.
King Queen…?
Kingkey
King koopa!
This live action remake of Fantasia is crap. I demand a refund.
*gives Moomin refund*
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
*runs off to buy sweeties*
*drops a penny accidentally*
*bends to pick it up*
This is going to be AWESOME!
That gave me the biggest laugh of the day.
*squeeze*
The rest of the day you’ll have good luck.
Why thank you! *Squeeze!*
*snark* I can’t breathe! I can’t breathe!
*pulls a heimlick maneuver on mrs_z*
*gets the vapors and passes out*
I guess you didn’t get my Fantasia reference.
*squeezes anyway*
Too subtle for me. I imagined a broom just splintering.
It inspired my blatant reference though. Now I see why.
Sorry.
*massive SQUEEZE*
Missed it by that much.
*Holds arms out as wide as possible*
*Sweeps comment back to AA*
Hee! It was poorly executed. I think I was distracted by this buzzing sound I keep hearing.
Fruit flies?
Prezackly.
At 7:27am I wrote a message saying I had missed it, but it only appeared on my screen.
Sorry.
*massive SQUEEZE*
Hehe. At work, your avatar hasn’t changed yet, so it’s not creepy to give you a *massive squeeze* back.
I got it!
This very well may be the sweetest thing I’ve seen all week.
mmmm… if u replace the sweeps with blades it looks like a car of this movie with bruce campbell…. he travels to past and needs to recover necronomicon… cant remember name =P (seems like someone was trying to rebuild that car)
Army Of Darkness.
that’s one of the most awesome things I’ve ever seen.
You need to get out more
Have you tried the pooptarts?
Its job is two fold, one is to sweep the ground the other is to fan the air in front of the machine.
With brooms…?
More of the brooms are the rudders, or propellers.
HAHA!! There community is very poor. Thats funny to me because I live in a fully developed country. I bet a small child died of malaria today in their community!:)
“Fully developed”? I thought you were American?
Fully developed as in made by a diffrent country.
*different*
Wow. I’m sartim to suck at spelling now.
*Eats Dictionary*
All better!
I live in Fairfield County in Connecticut. My part of the country is fully developed…and if other parts aren’t then……let them eat cake!
Really? How’s your infrastructure? Roads, bridges, electric grids and so on? Do you have blackouts from time to time? If not, good for you!
But then I’d have to ask questions about the social net in all its aspects…
(I don’t mean to offend! *eats cake*)
I live around a bunch of rich assholes. I live in one of only two condo blocks in my town, the rest are half million dollar houses. I hate all these rude rich assholes. But on the plus side I could probly leave my door wide open at night if I wanted to.
Good (and bad, considering the assh*les) for you.
But I don’t think the absence of crime constitutes a fully developed area, not to mention the country as a whole. To meet my liberal Euro standards there has to be a social net that stops people in trouble from falling into poverty, takes care of their health and education and secures them when they’re old.
Furthermore I expect our roads to be in a good condition, the same for the other aspects of infrastructure. Two examples: I can’t remember the last blackout here. Maybe in the early 90s? Dunno. And: Germany is hit really badly by the crisis (as the worlds leading exporting nation we suffer from the global trade collapse). But still, we don’t have tent villages and similar things I see on the news about the US.
*really needs to move to Europe*
Almost anywhere would do.
Whats a tent villiage? We don’t have many blackouts (one big one back in 03′) and our roads and infrasctructure are as good as Europe. I don’t think the news you get about America is very accurate. It is probrably pretty badly spun.
Our roads are horrible and are still built upon shallow beds that cause them to crack too easily. We spend huge amounts of money and waste lots of time and energy maintaining corridors in the Northeast in a perpetual state of repair.
probably that guy has never left his “fully developed place”
A tent village is a group of folks living in tents usually in a public park. They live in tents because they have no other place to live. They live in groups because there is safety in numbers. They were called “Hoovervilles” back in the days of the depression.
It’s a big country. I am still oddly patriotic considering my political beliefs. But I am certainly more hopeful than critical of how things will turn out during my lifetime.
It is a big country, and you’d be amazed to see how many people “slip through the cracks”. These tent villages already exist. I’ve seen them in Lincoln Park in Chicago. These were people who lost their jobs and then their homes. Shelters only let you stay for so long.
I tend to be optomistic about things because of the way I was brought up. I lived in a condemned building with two parents on goverment assistance. When my father died, my mother had had enough and went back to work and school at the same time. About 5 years later my family was back on the right track and my mom bought her very first house. Being witness to this I have always beleived that with the right attitude and enough determination, anything is possible in this country.
If only that were true. Not everyone has the opportunities your mother did. The people in those tent villages aren’t lazy. They aren’t losers. They have fallen on REALLY hard times and had no safety net, nowhere to go for help.Our government COULD help, but doesn’t.
Our government helps a lot. It could do more, and probrably will with the way the political shift in the country is going. I will continue to be optomistic about the future of my country. It’s one thing to be constructively critical about something, and quite another to believe it can’t be fixed.
Sofaking, we as a country have a LONG way to go. It’s going to take work. It’s going to mean that we have to do things we don’t really want to do. I think it can be done, but it will be met with a lot of adversity.
But how are we supposed to get this done if all that matters to us is that we are environmentally friendly as possible.I know. But I will leave you with this (since 1pmEST fail is coming). It is great thing that certain people have spent a lot of time devoting their lives to doing the right things and trying to change our general conscience for the better. But until people are forced to do things, like recycle, they are not going to do it. We need to give people real incentive to not be wasteful, to recycle, and to just be better global citizens in general. Until you start messing with peoples wallets its just not going to happen.
Look what I started! *is amazed*
Sk, I’m also optimistic about the future of the US, I had a discussion about that with Avis and Dragon the other day. But that doesn’t change the fact that there are many issues in which the US isn’t as good as it could be (or as many Americans believe). Our infrastructure – in Germany, Europe is a very diverse continent, esp. in eastern Europe things are behind (no wonder, it’s only 20 years since the end of the Cold War) – is one example where we’re better than the US. Or more advanced. Or whatever expression you would choose to not feel insulted in your patriotism.
.
Social security is another thing, even though other European nations do better than my own (the Scandinavian nations for example). It’s a thing that I just can’t understand – the US military budget and at the same time round about 50 million Americans who are only one accident or illness away from poverty. I would say, even though WN and maybe you might disagree, that we’re closer to the “right” priorities than the US.
.
And one last thing: Although we have BAAAAD media as well, we also get very good and qualified information about the world. If you have never heard that there are in fact tent villages (however they are called) in which formerly middle class Americans are living – right now, in your rich country – than I’d say you might to broaden the pool of which you’re getting your information.
.
Again, no offense intended. I’m actually kind of a fan of several aspects of the USA. But that certainly doesn’t stop me from noticing problems.
(Apologies for spelling mistakes!)
*squeeze*
That was extraordinarily well done.
“The American Society of Civil Engineers has given the United States a “D” in infrastructure maintenance, citing more than $2.2 trillion of deferred and neglected investments in our roads, bridges, transit, schools, storm water, and energy systems.”
.
The current high-voltage transmission grid imposes has three major problems:
It doesn’t go where new renewable energy sources could be developed, making them much less attractive. Congestion and bottlenecks plague the current system, making it hard to connect new large sources of power to the grid. The monitoring and control technology throughout the entire system is not state-of-the-art. Smart technology would provide utilities and consumers with real time information, making electricity delivery cheaper and more efficient. The lack of smart-grid network has slowed the adoption of newer, cleaner sources of power.
Quite so. I happen to be working on a smart grid control product right now. I mean, I should be. Oops.
So what are you going to do about it?
I’m reasonably sure he uses eco-friendly products, only drives when he has to, and and practices eco-friendly routines at home. If more of us did just those things we could make a difference.
And for every Admiral Apparent there are five guys down the street who get out their Ford 350 Superduty to go get their mail.
That’s why I said “If more of us did just those things we could make a differnce”.
*missed a serious conversation he could have added too*
Health care? We don’t need no steenking health care!
We just don’t get sick!
if its fully developed, why havent i ever heard of it ? what kind of sxxxty place is that?
Ha ha! Yes. And isn’t wonderful how those poor people stay so thin? What’s their secret, anyway! Ha ha!
Crystal Meth……. Hey you asked an honest question I gave you an honest answer.
Aids has really helped me to lose weight
HAHAHAHA *squeezes granny’s flap*
*squeezes back*
you should try it some time
*runs away from GCF*
*runs after Brewski and tackles him to the ground* GCF, I think this is for you.
*ooof!*
Nooooo!!
*kicks and struggles to get away*
Shame on you. That’s a sweeping generalisation.
Right. The plight of the poor is so often just swept under the rug.
Fail? That’s mad scientist level genius, that is! We need a video.
Does it have to be a video of this? The magnificent mr cuddles runs an interesting line in pickle videos.
You rang? Clickie ^ It’s an old favorite, but not the Pickle Surprise video.
Please, I beg you, do NOT post creepy pickle guy again!!
*shudders*
*tests*
i’m angry at you grrrrrrrrr i’ll use my new brooms weapon to hurt you >:(
Are you kidding? Have you ever been to China? This is a win!!
I have. Still a fail.
Ditto. And saw worse than this. The non-tourist areas are downright depressing. (Nothing against China… good people. Just struggling with the transition to a major world economic power)
*nod nod*
Though the little blue trucks were pretty amazing…I actually considered them a bit of a win at the time. They’re probably deathtraps…but…
So…I must admit I am Indian and have visited there several times o.O And oddly…that hoo-ha actually works really really well. :O
*laughs*
I’ll take your word for it, since I didn’t see this contraption in action.
How is this FAIL? They’re a poor country. At least they’re trying
*auto responder*
They could have just employed some people to do it, job creation and all
Poor? Yes… and no. Click my name.
It’s a dichotomy of staggering wealth and crushing poverty. Americans fear the Chinese as an economic superpower (and they should, as an economic competitor). But many Americans don’t realize the plight of the majority of the population. Most are still very poor by western standards.
But I should shut up, I’m just a somewhat ignorant American. Any Chinese with us today?
Oh hell, most Americans don’t realize the plight of the poor in their own country!
*sarcasm alert*
We have poor here? You mean, like only 2 TV’s and 1 iPod?
*kinda wishes WN were here, then this thread could get really interesting*
Being an ignorant German, I agree with you.
Ignorance is bliss!
I don’t let how dumb most people are bother me anymore. It’s just more of an opportunity for me to get rich off them.
This is a place for economy or politics.
I’m a chinese and that thing is merely a creative invention of some people
dont take it too seriously
This isnt*
“this isn’t a place for economy”
What do you mean? I think I understand it’s not a place for politics.
allow me to preface this comment by saying, I am not on drugs. This photo makes me feel weird…I feel swept away. LOL!!!

This is a FAIL
All it is doing is redistributing the dirt around it.
That’s not smog it’s dust from the sweeper!!
hey leila… i’ve donated 1000 rices now =P fun game not sure if the donatioon thing is true but aaaanyways =/
YAY!! THANK YOU Ale.
-
It is true. I checked it out on snope or scope or something like that.
*gives out rice while learning new words*
ROFL
Is this the equivalent to a street swiffer?
A win that will surely sweep you off your feet
They could have advanced technologically a bit by attaching a row or two of those Dyson ball – which are ridiculously expensive – vacuum cleaners.
I predict The Camels will sweep the series this year.
Steam punk win!!
lol indeed
you guys move to fast, its only been up a few hours…
personally I love the ingenuity! I could imagine being an old fart, showing this picture to my grandkids, “back in my day we didnt have a snowblower”!
I'mmmm BACK!!!Where did everyone go?God that smog is terrible! Say what you will, but we are all terrible world citizens that we’ve allowed anywhere on our planet to become that dirty.
I'd say one of the main issues is that we (Americans, I don't about you Europeans) focus so much on pathetic ideas like "energy saving light bulbs", "green" shopping bags, Al Gore, etc. when we could helping these countries instead.Oh boy, you should be better informed! Fact: US citzens – round about 5% of the worlds population. US pollution – round about 25% of the worlds pollution. Sorry, but the US is by far the most polluting nation on earth.
Fact: I didn’t say we Americans don’t need to do a better job too.
Fact: Europeans love to assume American ignorance.
Now what happens when you assume?
? Err… did you mean to reply to me? Because my reply was directed at Ninja.
Oh ok, I thought you were replying to me.
See that previous comment about what happens when you assume? In this case it applies to me apparently.
Although I would say that Blog Ninja still has a point. What you’re citing are greenhouse gas numbers, and while CO2 emissions are a big deal, they’re only one part of the picture. What myself and apparently Blog Ninja are talking about are air quality issues, and while we still produce an inordinate amount of CO2 per capita (although, I will say that I was just looking at a list, and Australia is extremely close behind on a per-capita rate), you don’t find places that are smoggy like that around here anymore. When I see a picture like that, I really feel bad for the people who have to live in those conditions.
Maybe Australia is close to the US per-capita – but Australia has about 21 Million citizens,the US about 300 million… Even if another angle like the per-capita rate draws a more… um, friendly picture, the numbers I gave in my post above are correct (as an approximation, of course).
.
L.A. isn’t smoggy anymore? Things have changed in the last 10 years! Great!
Well LA still has smog, just not like in that picture. I still hate driving through it. (I don’t live in LA, but its the location I generally give since most people have no clue where Ventura is).
thaatsn eepic win!
Oh my God that’s awesome. I gotta get me one.
bola de pendejos ojala les de influenza!!
This is a win!!!
ingenuity win!
dangit, someone already beat me to it. er… literal win? *sigh*
You spin me right round, baby
right round like a record, baby
Right round round round
You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round round round
In Soviet Russia, broom sweeps YOU!
I love this! I don’t understand why it’s a fail…
WIN!!! He can do it with any tree branches or bushes!
For Christ’s sake, this must be another Decepticon!
latest tech. lol
Its WIN !!!
NO, no, this is a WIN!
Good grief. That looks like something out of a Godzilla movie.
If they get that thing spinning fast enough it might take off and fly!
Sweeper WIN
And what does it sound like when you rev the engine?
Broom! Broom!
HAHAHA!
Sheesh.
That’s definitely a WIN.
Not a fail. Weatern street-sweepers do the same thing just more compact in design. Or did some of you think they were enormous vacuum cleaners? They throw crap to the side just like this does.
Fail my ass! This is a WIN!
I am sorry to inform you, fred, but your ass has failed.
*removes the word ‘WIN’ and the right to employ exclamation points from fred as his punishment for ass-failure*
Now, please go sit down.
Oh dear, not on THAT…
WIN
i don’t know why this isn’t considered a WIN
Looks like a win to me, actually.
That gives “street sweeper” a whole new meaning…
That is not a fail! That is an epic win!
HAHAHAHAHAH
that’s not fail
that’s f–ken genius!
i thought it was a minesweeper.
Like sweeping a dirt floor..
street sweeper win.
This would be an epic win if there were blades on it instead of brooms. Then again, I tend to see the world through the narrow eye of the sniper scope.
This looks like a win to me!
I would say its a win
Just exactly how do you think your local street sweeper works? Spinning bristles sweep the dirt to the side of the road so this is just a much more cost efficient assembly of the same basic machine.
Freakin awesome!
I wish I could see it in action.
Ingenuity WIN!!!
Hahahaha wuin! xD
Fail? That’s a WIN if you ask me.
Fail? That’s a WIN if you ask me..
engineering win
the “Win” caption is under-used
Ingenuity Win?
This is win. Not Fail.
You don’t have to do everything one way man.
that is actually quite cool.
I don’t care what anybody says. Whoever came up with this is a spectacular human being.
Any idea where this is?
MacGyver would be disgusted!
#25

To bad this one actually might work better than the ones they actually use to “clean the streets”.

I agree—seems like something a person would cleverly put together themself
