rubberstamped money

Filed under: General — kf6hqc @ 6:47 am

A lot of people grew hemp back then

Here is another rubber stamped money
website devoted to showing off their
collection of, you guessed it, rubber
stamped money. Nice pictures of money
sending a message to everyone and
anyone. Ugly money was my first post
on the topic. Enjoy.

Animated Knots by Grog

Filed under: General — kf6hqc @ 6:48 am

learn to tie knots

Wrongly handled, gripped, or tied, rope
can kill, maim, or burn. You could be the
victim! So, handle rope with care, inspect
and test any knot you tie.

Good advise from the author of a great
website. There are dozens and dozens
of knots that you can learn to tie on this
website, each animated on their own page.
A terrific source of knowledge. Highly
recomended for bookmark by us here at
admit-one.

Boy, does this picture look nice. Boat anchors and beer.

Next time you get on 75 meters for a nice rag chew, be
sure to ask your wife to bring you a cold, refreshing
beer and enjoy life’s little pleasures. God knows, you’ve
earned it.

FIREBALL XL5 – Space City

Filed under: General — kf6hqc @ 8:18 am

supermarionation - Fireball XL5

Remember this?

Piloted by Steve Zodiac, Fireball XL5 was the flagship
of the World Space Patrol. Assigned to protect Sector
25 of the Solar System from alien invaders and make
contact with new races.

This was the Anderson series that propelled his
Supermarionation creations into the mainstream. Hugely
popular in it’s day, it was the only Anderson production
to date that was fully networked on the USA NBC
channel in 1963. It had a great theme tune on the
closing credits as well!

What jumptheshark has to say

Thanks to AE6JN for bringing back this memory of my
earliest childhood. I remember watching this B/W show
on our B/W television when I lived in Wisconsin as
a little child up until 1965.

Miraflores locks time-lapse – Google Video

Miraflores Locks, Panama

This is a time-lapse video made from the
miraflores lock’s webcam in Panama.
Interesting at first but after a few minutes
it becomesa bit boring. Remember, the
United States built these locks.

Dr. Whack job and Miss Cans

For some crazy Tesla coil madness, this is
the place. Voltini is certainly a high voltage
performing fool. Along with his assistant
Nurse Electra, they do some whacky stunts
with high frequency high voltage. There is
some interesting weird history to be found
within this web site too, you just have to
dig for it. Have fun

Fuel Cell Motorbike to Hit U.S. Streets

Filed under: Technology — kf6hqc @ 8:43 am

fuel cell bike

The bike is dubbed the ENV (pronounced “envy”),
short for Emissions Neutral Vehicle.
The motorcycle has a top speed of 50 miles an hour
(80 kilometers an hour) and can run for 100 miles
(160 kilometers) or up to four hours on a tank of
compressed hydrogen. A fill-up costs about four
dollars (U.S.). This is cool but it needs to go a bit
faster and further.

cotton balls

Filed under: Weird — kf6hqc @ 12:35 pm

cotton balls

Here is something someone wrote about their
fear of cotton balls:

I too know the agony of having a
headache and a brand new bottle
of aspirin and no one around to
dispose of the cotton standing
between me and a pain free noggin.

I can not find the official name for the fear of
cotton anywhere. If someone knows what it is,
please let me know. The closest I can find is
Textophobia but that isn’t it exactly. Textophobia
is the fear of certain fabrics and textiles. Weird
huh?

The reason for this post is, last night at the
dinner table, my father in law told us of an ex-
employee of his that was so afraid of cotton balls
that when he touched one or heard the noise
they make when one squeezes one he would
faint right there on the spot. Weird huh?

Read these peoples reactions to cotton balls. It
truly is irrational but real as anything.

shop till you drop

This is a killer site if you are a mad shopper. Here
is an example:

*How much is the Circuit City Laptop?*

It is $449 after-rebate if you DO NOT sign up for
a 12 month AOL internet plan. If you sign up,
you will receive a $250 rebate, which will bring
the laptop’s price to $199.

The Joule thief.

a miserly light

This little LED light circuit will produce very nice
bright white light from a single 1.5vdc source. The
circuit is so efficient it will still produce usable
white light that you can read by when the battery
source has been drained down to 0.35vdc. This light
will work with batteries that you would normally
consider dead and gone. Check it out. We here at
admit-one really like this one.
