I love dogs. I have one, and I’m glad he’s a healthy little guy, but in the case that anything ever happened to him, I have to take up inspiration from this little pup.
That’s right – Hope was born without legs, and is being fitted for some prosthetics! The end result:
Crazy huh? Well, here’s hoping this little puppy has a good, long life with her wheels. Although I can’t help but think that those first steps probably looked something like this:

BMW M3 or Toyota Prius
by Derek on Jun.23, 2008, under technology, video
Following up with the post on the SmartCar vending machine comes this clip from one of our favorite shows, Top Gear from the BBC (the NBC version is coming later this year!). In it, they run a Toyota Prius versus a BMW M3 around a track 10 times to figure out which was more economical. Turns out, the Prius is not. The BMW averaged around 2 more miles per gallon than the Toyota Hybrid. As it stands with gas prices quickly rising, the sales of Prius’ are ever increasing and it’s getting harder to find one on lot for MSRP. Wonder how those sales would change if there were a report that went out showing that the Prius is only REALLY more economical if you’re driving local and in stop and go traffic all day long, and that the costs that you pay in premium for a hybrid vehicle are not recouped for years in gas savings (although probably less that nowadays). The Prius is still more GREEN however, and therefore will be the choice vehicle for people like Leonardo di Caprio – at least until the Chevy VOLT comes to the market…for me, I’d rather take the V8 M3, I’d be getting better mileage than those hybrids on the freeway!

What if! Do you remember Surge, Crystal Pepsi, the Nintendo Virtual Boy? Then you’ll love this – how the world COULD have been if things that weren’t so popular gained their popularity (or had better marketers…)
