    [b]Lufthansa needs pilots. [/b]<br />
    <br />
    [b]Do you think you know your way around Europe?[/b]<br />
    <br />
    [b]Take the short pilot's test and see if you should apply for a job.<br />
    <br />
    Click on where you think the city is and the plane will land there. Then it will show where the city actually is. You get less information in each round. You'll like round 3!<br />
    <br />
    Warning -- it can become addictive!<br />

    That video can't be for real. I mean, i can completely see the events unfolding like that guy described, especially in the States. But surely there aren't really people out there who speak like that?<br />

    Believe me - they exist. As a longtime hitcher myself, I've been on road-trips with them, and they didn't come from West Virginia by way of Dogtown, CA. I bicycled most of the North Island with a gnarly dude from San Diego back in the mid-1980s who sounded exactly like Jeff Spicoli.<br />
    <br />
    The clip reminded me of a friend who was hitchhiking through the southwestern United States and hooked up with another hitcher. They were together a week, and were camped along a desert roadside in Nevada, when they guy told my friend that they'd been together long enough that he could trust in him to confide a special secret - that he was really Jesus Christ. My buddy said he "slept" with one eye open the whole night and his knife under his sleeping bag. He hightailed it the next day to put as many miles between him and the freak as possible.

    A video from the North Korean government featuring a dream sequence of an attack on America. The soundtrack is "We are the World"<br />

    The graphics of the buildings and explosions is lifted from Call of Duty<br />

    [/quote]I wonder how long it will be before North Korea gets stomped on . I can't see the US putting up with Kim Jong-un and his missle program or his threats to target the US for long .

    DK didn't mention that that was his first attempt, I suspect he has become addicted and has been playing it non-stop

    This is mad - I know most of that is froth, but its pretty ballsy by the driver to use the bus as a shield against the oncoming water, without being able to see anything.<br />

    Pretty freaky to think that I was there 12 hours earlier sipping cocktails at a mates house. I was literally down the road.

    yeah, agree on both counts. Still, it's interesting, more for the look at a vanishing way of life. The Seediq Bale here chose to go out in a battle against the Japanese, but if they'd just waited a few more years would have survived.
