Site Masthead: Nick's Place in non-serif white text superimposed over a bright orange high contrast tinted photograph of a brick wall taken in an extreme close up. The brick is photographed with the long continuous lines of grout running vertically. The image is displayed upside-down so the disappearing point for the grout is below the image.

Murphy at his best

I usually make a policy of always having any PEIDM entry be something I create, because if I didn't there would be a bunch of other crap floating around here, and that isn't my point for this space.

I just couldn't resist posting this. My sister, Randi, emailed me these this morning. Its one of those things that circulates around email. Kudos to the original photographer. I won't describe them, just take a look at them one at a time in order. I wonder if this qualifies for a Darwin award... (Those of you reading this in email, I recommend visiting this entry on the web for the full effect.)

A tow truck/crane begins to lift a mini-van out of water.
The van almost clears the water, and the tow truck/crane is leaning over.
The van is fully out of the water, and the tow truck/crane is still leaning over.
The tow truck/crane takes its own flip into the water, along with the minivan.
Another picture of the tow truck/crane farther over the side of the barrier.
A much larger crane with outriggers arrives and has the van hanging in the air.
Similar picture close up.
The crane begins to lift the other tow truck/crane out of the water.
The tow truck/crane is more or less out of the water.
The tow truck/crane is a little farther out of the water.
The crane itself takes a flip over the side of the barrier.
