Camouflaging Buildings During WWII

No comments:
These photos have been circulating the web for some time now, but they are pretty neat. They are supposedly of the Lockheed plant in California, where they used to manufacture planes. In any case, during WWII the USA was afraid of Japan bombing military and industrial targets on the West Coast. So one measure they took was to camouflage entire buildings too look like other typed of buildings or like they were just part of the surrounding environment. Pretty cool stuff.

A Wooden Car

4 comments:
I was e-mailed pictures of this cool custom built wooden car. Apparently it rides on a 1986 Toyota truck frame and gets power from a Chrysler 318 engine. It is driven by an automatic transmission and has just 1,800 miles on its odometer. The whole body is made of cedar and its interior is just as cool as the exterior. I couldn't find the original source, but let me know if you find it.

Seal a Plastic Bag with a Bottle Cap

8 comments:
Someone sent me this neat idea the other day.

You take a plastic bottle and cut off the top and neck.
Next you insert the top of a plastic bag through the opening in the bottle. Fold the edges of the bag over the bottle opening and screw on the lid. There you have it, a water tight seal for your bag.

Smell Like a Monter

Do I like this just because I have a 2 year old, or is it legitimately funny/cute?

10 Cool Doormats

I've always hired poor people to lay in front of my door as doormats (know your place!), but after taking a look at these cool doormats, I might have to reconsider.

Halloween Idea

2 comments:
I grew up in a college town, and one Halloween our doorbell rang and we opened the door expecting to see trickortreater but what was in front of our open door was another door! Like, a full-on wooden door, that had a sign that said "Please knock." So we did, and the door swung open to reveal a bunch of college dudes dressed as really old grandmothers, curlers in their hair, etc, who proceeded to coo over our costumes and tell us we were "such cute trick or treaters!" One even pinched my cheek. Then THEY gave US candy, closed their door, picked it up and walked to the next house.
