Yep. It's an old trick where on one side of the vehicle there are heavy weights such that the weight of the vehicle is almost entirely carried by the tyres only on that side of the vehicle. I think Penn and Teller did a similar demonstration once where they ran over Teller with a large truck...

This guy has been leeching for years now, I've never once seen him contribute back.

...Until the next Typhoon. Portable solar power?

I didn't find SmartBro that reliable outside of Metro Manila. Right now I think there's a promo: send a message UNLISURF 200 to the correct number (I think it's 2200) and you get unmetered Internet for 5 days for 200 Pesos.

Was on Panglao a couple of weeks ago. Couple of places had WiFi on/near the beach (Lona). There wasn't an issue with speed.

One of my favorites was his call to stop giving money to Haiti Peil is an easy target. No need to vilify the poor guy with a dedicated thread.

Our Navy commandoes fell right into the hands of the Gaza mission members. A few minutes before the takeover attempt aboard the Marmara got underway, the operation commander was told that 20 people were waiting on the deck where a helicopter was to deploy the first team of the elite Flotilla 13...

I was quoting the Captain of the IDF. Unless you are saying the quote was fabricated by the BBC? Please enlighten me again, which source should I cite? Eagerly waiting for your link to show me that the people that boarded the ship were not special forces/commandos. Thanks.
