Darwin Award Attempt Fails Spectacularly
As described: “The Ice Break Add A Motor To It couch breaks the world record for fastest sofa at Camden Airport, Sydney on 26th September 2011. Check it out as the couch reaches a top speed of 163km/h.”
Since America abandoned the metric system decades ago, that’s 101mph. But you really wanted to see it crash in flames, didn’t you?
