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?
[via @pourmecoffee]
I didn’t see a couch.
@Benedick: I see the couch. I wanna see the flames.
It’s not a couch, it’s a love seat. I feel cheated.
Strike that. It’s not even a love seat, it’s a big comfy chair. I might have overlooked it not being a couch if it burst into flames but it didn’t, so I say again, I feel cheated.
What is the point of doing dumb shit with stuff if it doesn’t explode?
@Benedick: There’s a joke in there somewhere about a bishop, but I’m afraid I’ll drop a clanger if I go for it.
@Nabisco: What is the point of doing dumb shit with stuff if it doesn’t explode? As the bishop said to the actress.
