A bike can not offer much protection to its rider, that's why there is protective clothing. If people decide not to wear any, even a small accident can hurt pretty much. The accident below happened to professionals who wore adequate clothing. The bikes seem to have survived it, and probably the only thing that got hurt was the riders' pride. The way this accident happened however makes it absolutely hilarious. As a commenter suggested, someone should dub this clip with the Yakety Sax .
There is a saying that engineering is "taking what you have to make what you want." While I do not drink beer, I have to say that the solution below is an example of beautiful engineering. Found at There I fixed it .
Also clever engineering, though unfortunately rather imaginary, is this solution to avoid getting hit by a train:
Your teachers will probably have told you at school that you need to learn to speak clearly, that you should speak without an accent or dialect if you want people to understand you. Well, it's not just about people anymore these days, and maybe you want to improve your pronounciation, or else you might end up in a situation like this:
Many people have developed (or at least think they have) methods to learn a language very quickly. OK, here are a few simple Chinese phrases that you can learn in a few minutes...
OK, it's actually a bit more like Cantonese, but I am sure you will be understood...
No, it isn't. But fans of Michael Caine know this phrase. Right along "not many people know this", almost everyone trying to imitate Michael Caine will use that phrase. I am sure you have seen Michael Caine on the screen, but did you also know how many people have imitated him? Let us start a small selection with the master himself: Michael Caine doing Michael Caine...
These two are pretty good...
Peter Sellers has imitated a lot of people, but he is not doing so well with Michael Caine.
Here you have a lot of "Michael Caine" - and others. (Mick Jagger is good...)
There is even a guy imitating Michael Caine imitating Christopher Walken - and he is good !
Some of the imitators refer to Michael Caine's early fame as Harry Palmer, something you should have seen if you like Michael Caine.
The first film of the Harry Palmer series (The Ipcress Files) even resulted in a song dedicated to him by Madness.
...and now I can finally close a few tabs in Chrome...
People sometimes ask me whether I would be a typical/average German or not. Well, I do not drink coffee, and no beer either, so that alone probably makes me a non-typical German. But if you want to know what Germans are like, why not ask experts on the field - Germans. Udo Lindenberg has a a word or two to say:
OK, that was before the wall went down, which was a while ago. But Mundstuhl can tell you what contemporary Germans are like：
Yes, football play we better than you...
你應該有發現國外的媒體報到台灣的事情，不少次會是立法委員在打架。丟臉，對不對？放心，我能給你至少一點點的安慰：不只在台灣發生這種事。也許台灣的立法委員這方面也可以從國外學一些技術回來：立法大戰 …

我看到一個好玩的職缺介紹：理論上應該是電子工程師，這至少是那家公司說的，但是… 工作內容還正常：電路設計維修，系統裝配。比較奇怪的是條件。
平常，找要設計電路的工程師的時候，公司會自己提他們在用的軟體（Protel, Orcad...）或會請應徵的人列一下他們能夠用什麼軟體。這家公司的要求不一樣：Powerpoint, AutoCad, Outlook, Excel, Word, Photoshop。
我真懷疑寫那些條件的人多了解他在寫什麼…
