VERY scary moment at the Macau Formula 3 race this morning...



However, the driver is relatively okay, although suffering from a spinal fracture. She tweeted this a while later...

The british supermarket chains are getting ready for their Christmas TV ad campaigns. Well all except Iceland - theirs has been banned for being too political. It's well worth a watch.

Let's see what german supermarkets (or european supermarkets) has to offer this year:

Something that feels like a Dr. Who Christmas special



Right in the feels:



A sequel to the one from last year:

I wonder what made her lift off.

In the last ten seconds of the top video, the aerial view, shows her hit a car in the corner at about a 90 degree angle and that launches her. It's the yellow-white car that spins and hits the wall after she torpedoes through it.

I'm not 100% sure but in the first two views it looks like she was in the air already even before she hit the yellow car.

Her car was turned around as she went into the turn. Anyone familiar with NASCAR can tell you that's the equivalent of turning the car into an airplane wing.

FIA should consider something like the roof flaps on stock cars to keep something like this from happening. Maybe flaps on the spoilers or air dams?

Formula Cars have a multitude greater amount of downforce relative to weight compared to NASCAR vehicles. I'm not sure flaps would help in the same way as on a NASCAR.

“Oh, it’s a tonsilith.”
“Oh, it’s NOT a tonsilith.”
“Eh, about the same level.”
Gonna say, though...that’s probably the worst thing I’ve seen online in quite a while.

PROTIP: Do NOT hold keys in the same hand when operating a light switch that is directly above a socket of dubious quality.

Wasn't me that did it.

Apparently this happened in New York last night...

Apparently an incident at a Con Ed plant in Astoria. @Celt Z, are you close enough to have seen any of this light show? Anyone else?

Well, the cloud coverage made it hard to see, but afterwards there was someone at the door looking for The Gatekeeper? I sent them to the ferry. Weird night.

I just learned about an interesting little thing, the toadfly. Nothing special about it, except for one little thing: it will risk its life to lay eggs in the nostrils of a toad. When the eggs hatch, they'll eat the face off the toad (and more).
