China's '4D' roller coaster: The scariest two minutes of your life

vajav · 3 days

I know Changzhou, and have been to Dinosaur Park, (pre-coaster). It is a very nice and newly modernizing city. The people of this city are very excited about this and from what I can see, their infrastructure growth has been first rate. This is traditionally a very important city in China, (The Dragon City), and they are building for the future. I am happy they are getting a lot of attention and glad the kind people that I know there will have a fun place to go with their kids.

I can hear it now... "But hey now, it was HIS LIT AGENT that wrote that! (Obviously a reliable source). You can't REALLY trust the Hawaiian government after all... Ha! (Are they even Americans/Christians over there anyway?)"

I'm a local teacher and me and several of my colleagues have used Terry's automotive for years. I feel they have been very honest and do a good job.

Someone please tell me this is Photoshop. Surely NO one could have that much of a death wish to drive around with this on their car!

Maybe not in an accident, but It is in a lab.

Definitely not. Read above.

It is, in fact, a (pickled) dissected head used by student brain doctors to study the brain. The arteries are injected with a red silicone liquid (that hardens) and the veins injected with blue. That way, they can tell the difference between them while they are studying the brain/head/neck structure and know what they are looking at. It's quite beautiful in a strange way, isn't it? I'm glad they are doing this work so they can save my ass if I need it!

I caught this show back in the late 80's at the Hollywood Sportitorium in South Florida. I got a free ticket the day of the show as a friend could not make it. As it wasn't Pink Floyde, I honestly wasn't expecting much more than Roger Waters singing acoustic versions of the Wall tunes. Once it all started= MIND FREAKIN' BLOWN!

I read it as simply a metaphor for homogenization...

In a perfect world, we would all run barefoot... but once your bare foot gets stomped on by a nice new shiny sharp cleat... well...

I visited in October and found it safe, however as an obvious non Muslim, they would not let me into the Dome of the Rock, (man in a chair waved me off, "Muslim Only"). As one interested only in history and culture, I was a bit disappointed.

Go play ultimate frisbee at Letna park on Sunday! Or just hit the Letna beer garden for cheap beer and a great view anytime!

(I am an Art Teacher)... and I keep a fairly tricked out, (looking), small block Chevy motor on an engine stand in my classroom. It is good for spontaneous conversations about how it works and often allows me to describe the internal combustion engine to interested students during art production time. Sometimes the Physics teacher brings his class in on a field trip and we discuss it's basic systems.
