Boys, there ain't no free lunches in this country. And don't go spending your whole life commiserating that you got the raw deals. You've got to say, ''I think that if I keep working at this and want it bad enough I can have it.'' It's called perseverance.

Lee Iacocca
1924-, American Businessman, Former CEO of Chrysler

Google My Ride!

Share It may look like a psy­che­delic ver­sion of a “Pimp My Ride” mobile…but it’s not! It’s none other than Asif Hus­sain Shah’s taxi! WHO/WHAT? A Pak­istani cab dri­ver turned author.

Flying for Dummies [Updated]

Share I orig­i­nally pub­lished this post on Feb. 12 — but I’ve updated it by adding another pic­ture of the famous Kul­ula info­graphic plane as well as a few more cheeky labels. as if fly­ing wasn’t fright­en­ing enough these days, one air­line decided to scare the crap out of its’ pas­sen­gers even more, by painting […]
