I didn’t even know there was a wind powered vehicle land speed record, but there is, and it stands at an astounding 116.7 MPH. I’m not sure how they pulled that off, but the Greenbird (pictured above) is going to attempt to crush that record on some windy day. Speaking of windy days, last night I had enough flatulence to launch that thing into orbit… but then I suppose it would be considered a gas powered vehicle.

The Inertia Electric Motorcycle is a complete waste of money. Not only will you not feel like a bad ass biker while riding it, but it only goes 50MPH with a 35-45 mile range. Now, for the real reason this thing sucks and blows simultaneously: the price. The expected price of this mock-able motorcycle is $12k. That’s right. Twelve grand for a motorcycle that you can’t take on the freeway or on long road trips. For twelve grand, you can buy a real motorcycle(or two)… or half a dozen Vespas. I mean, if you’re going to get mocked during your commute, you might as well be saving some money at the same time.

Sure, in America, the six year olds are shooting each other and stealing cars just like the big boys. But the Asians are not to be outdone. Their six year olds are now driving rascals! They skipped right past that whole puberty/adulthood/retirement home thing and went straight from diapers to using those electric carts that they give you at the grocery store.
Maybe putting growth hormones in milk wasn’t such a hot idea… you hear that science? You’ve gone too far this time. You’ve gone too Far! Too Far! *shakes fist in science’s general direction*
