Nihongo Slide desuka!

Playgrounds have gotten weak on fun and all about safety since when we were kids. Remember these rockets?

Long since torn down because they were "too dangerous." And because homeless men slept in them at night and gang members left them reeking of pee.

But in Japan, there's a 51 meter long playground slide that's finally a step in the right direction.

Oh yeah.

Push the button.

Go on, push it. Sometimes it's needed.

Just because they don't understand science doesn't mean you can maul them.

But how does one deal with Climate Change Deniers? Here's a nifty PSA for you.

Brain: Oh, glory of glories. Oh heavenly testament to the eternal majesty of God's creation. Homer: Holy macaroni!

Dude! Sweet!

Wow. Something new.

Gravity is their B#%&@.

I am saddened to think that in the years to come we will never be so creative, stupid, brave and bright all at the same time as this bunch of guys. That's not entirely a bad thing. But still, if only...

The device for reclining-- oh, freely.

Of course, the best way to recline is Warnick style, on couches, which is the way the rabbis of the Mishnah had their Seder. But if one is so orthodox that once would never make any changes, well, then 90 shekels can get you this wonder of modern Israeli technology.

That car? It was owned by the Pet Shop Boys...

Groovy. Weird. Fun!

Enjoy this car's dizzy beats.

Billions and Billions- in E Flat

If you were a young nerd, or even semi-nerd in the 1970's, you probably watched Carl Sagan's PBS series "Cosmos."
