Sign: "Parking by Permit Only"

You don't think they meant a "Burn Permit" do you?

DuPont has come out with a new line of 3-d paints. Field testing didn't go as well as planned.

"Driving on under-inflated tires is dangerous. ... If tire pressure is too low, too much of the tire's surface area touches the road, which increases friction. Increased friction can cause the tires to overheat, which can lead to premature wear, tread separation and blowouts."

Re: Caption This 8/24/2018. Theodore Prometheus Rides No More

08/26/2018 7:26 PM

Gift of Thermite Artwork

Theodore painted his girlfriend's truck with iron oxide, powdered aluminum, and potassium permanganate pigments for red, silver, and purple flames. He had some left over so he painted the top of her battery. Oops ! Sometimes function follows form.
