It'd be an improvement.

Pff, you liked it! Besides, don't want to pave over all our beer and bars too, now would we.

haha, fair enough. Maybe they could just make a huge roof out of CDs. Keep the rain out.

I was torn whether to put this in funny stuff or cool stuff.

The Polynesian island of Niue is issuing currency with star wars figures on it. Freaking awesome. the thought is to garner attention and draw tourism. I want!

That is pretty badass!! I want!!

While I'm all for the idea, the coins look kinda cheap. Like a toy coin.

Those are renders. And the ones that come in the cases are an ounce of actual silver each.

Article on Wired that came out today. More and better pics as well as more info. Unfortunately they're being minted in New Zealand and the cost of shipping the not-pure-silver ones is almost as much as the coin costs.

Render or not, the pictures still look pretty shitty. Only the death star one looks good (on the new links you posted). Still, fun idea indeed.

Crank up the volume to "hero"

epic, epic work.

lol @ ganer music video

The singer annoyed me to no end, but the message was pretty fun. Way too long, though.

Old footage from Belgian police attack dogs. I don't think I want to have these rabid monsters on my back or arm anytime soon.

Re: the screaming...I don't think the targets are actually in a ton of pain, but they scream to simulate real-life situations (so the dogs won't scare or be surprised when they have a dude yelling his lungs out)

Vicious things, somewhere in the middle one of the dogs bites the master. There is however another aspect to using dogs. Apparently being attacked by a wild animal ranks very high in phobia list and most people who might not be afraid of getting shot might completely shut down in the face of such pure aggressive assault. Others just bust a cap in that puppy .

lol, very amusing. Those dogs did not want to stop.

BTW, i think the guys were screaming because they're Belgian.
