Brilliant!

I see pichuneke found a better link.
I found it here:
[url]meme.yahoo.com/erdem/p/JoeXbSs/[/url]
it's a useless link, information wise.

It's amazing how something completely useless got so popular so fast, i saw on that site a few guys made they're own versions.
I wonder if someone can make something like that box with sketchyphysics?

BBC News - Police sledge with riot shields

Police officers filmed using riot shields to sledge down a snowy hill while on duty are reprimanded.

Obviously most of you guys were born after the Pet Rock fad of the 1970's. People naturally gravitate toward the silly, useless and inane. That's why I always seem to have a job I guess.

David, I remember the pet rock although I never had one. My mom figured she'd have to feed and clean up after it so I wasn't allowed to have one.

I also remember pets rocks and Sea monkey's.

I just wonder back those days when we were not forced to be PC, what would happen if you boxed coal?

Well you fellas should know that the Pet Rock has evolved for a new breed of suckers.

...I never had them, but I hated them when they where all the rage at school. Annoying buggers...
