    Kinda silly/funny, kinda stupid. In other words, almost exactly like a Will Ferrell movie.

    My only objection is the name... can't believe he neglected to substitute "Tabermackerel" for "Tabernacle".

    Guys, guys, guys. I sent this to Murilee quite a while back and he did invite the loony behind it to a Lemons function, I do believe, and posted it. Give the Ms. his/her due, y'all.

    @Novaload: [jalopnik.com]

    I have ridden in this car and the hood lobsters really do rise above a certain vehicle/wind speed. You get the sensation that you are about to endure a crustacean attack, until you realize they are facing the other way, defending you. When the car slows down, the defenders settle back to their relaxed position, and you can be secure that the wind won't muss your hair.

    I think, much like real fish, Im speechless. This both mind boggling and mind numbing. To quote a line from Jurassic Park, "Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should.
