Man has a close call with an out of control bus

According to BoingBoing, this out of control bus in Perm, Russia (tell me if I’m writing that wrong), nearly hits this man who is running across the crosswalk to make a light. Wow, this could have turned out so bad if everybody’s timing was just a bit off.

I actually enjoy this set of redesigned Dollar denominations. I don’t think the United States Mint would ever go with a design this radical, but it’s nice to look at anyway. Although, I’m not exactly sure how I feel about having the bills be predominantly vertical rather than horizontal. I think that’s more of a radical change than simply putting more colors on the Dollar.

Because it’s Friday, check out pony_tail’s Flickr photostream which consists of beautiful, dream-like outdoor scenes in Russia (I believe) with a person or two dropped in every once in a while. The girl shown above and below in the gallery is supposedly the owner of the account but the photos were taken by her friend (who remains unnamed). Some of my favorites are below. :)

Sarah Palin talks about her foreign policy experience

Sarah Palin thinks that she has foreign policy experience because her closest land neighbor [from Alaska] is a foreign country????????????????????????????????

I wish this logic could pass in my own life. Heck, I’d be the expert at damn near everything if this were true.
