Robbers superglue naked man to exercise bike
Sticky situation
By Chris Williams →

South African robbers have shunned traditional gaffer tape and deployed a new weapon to subdue their victims: superglue.

An unnamed man was grabbed in the street and driven to his home, where a gang stripped him and superglued him to the seat of an exercise bike. They also glued his feet to the pedals and hands to the handlebars. Finally, his lips were sealed with the adhesive.


The South African Press Association reports that the four robbers were heavily tooled up with handguns and an assualt rifle, and wore suits when they abducted the man in his fifties. They took cash and valuables, and drank their immobilised victim's best whisky as they ransacked his house.

Paramedics used a combination of Vaseline and solvents to free the man.

Kidnap-robberies, where the victim is taken from the street and forced to direct the crims to their home, are not rare in South Africa, which suffers one of the highest crime rates in the developed world. On the flipside, at almost 14 Rand to the Pound, superglue is pretty cheap

How High Will Gas Prices Rise This Summer?
The Wall Street Journal Online
By Ana Campoy

A Lot Depends on Refineries, Weather and Driving Habits; A Raccoon and an Opossum

Gasoline prices, already flirting with $3 a gallon, could move even higher during the summer driving season. It all depends on refineries, weather and drivers' tolerance for expensive fuel.

Rising gasoline prices already are pinching sales of gas-guzzlers like sport-utility vehicles and putting consumers in a sour mood.

NO BITCH,WHO WANTS TO BUY ONE?

American inventor builds jet-propelled crapper
Truly a chariot of fire
By Lewis Page → More by this author

An American inventor has gained belated media recognition for a truly stunning achievement - building and operating a jet-propelled portaloo.

Paul Stender, a 43-year-old former pit mechanic, had been drifting along in the way that one does: designing jet-propelled motorcycles, pickup trucks, a school bus - basically not fulfilling his life's potential. But then one day, according to an article in Popular Science, "he saw a windstorm blow portable toilets across the tarmac, and it was Newton’s apple all over again."

Except that instead of developing the theory of gravitation, Stender dashed out and spent $5,000 on a US Navy-surplus Boeing 502 gas turbine, which he sawed in half and adapted so that it could produce "what he guesses is a few hundred pounds of thrust."

He then attached the unit to the portaloo of champions, a "Country Classic portable toilet from the Hampel Corporation of Germantown, Wisconsin," according to Popular Science.

“It’s heavy and looks like fake wood,” Stender says, “like an outhouse should.”

Naturally, the machine is piloted from the "original throne". The operator looks out through a hole in the door, and steers using handlebars.

JP-4 jet fuel is reportedly "funneled in through the original urinal," allowing a skilled and fearless crapper-jockey to achieve speeds in excess of 70mph. Of course, the potential of turbo-dumper propulsion can't be fully developed without afterburner capability (that's "reheat" for older UK readers - sounds just as good in this context, we submit) and this too is provided, with a CO2-pressurized JP-8 injector. This latter equipment gives the speeding crapper the essential ability to belch 30-foot-long trails of fire from its "rear pipe."

"If the engine is running at low rpm’s, hitting the switch sends out a long, loose, yellow fireball," notes Popular Science.

The turbopowered lavvy, dubbed "Port-O-Jet," has apparently had a successful career at US racetracks, vanquishing a jet barstool two times out of four. It appears to have been in operation at least since 2002, but only in recent days has Stender achieved the worldwide fame his achievement so clearly merits.

Tragically perhaps, given the obvious hazards implicit in dunny-jet operation, Stender has apparently been unable to maintain ready-use in-cab loo roll capability. "It kept getting sucked into the engine," he says. "You suck in a piece of garbage, it’s going to explode—and you’re going to go with it.”

No s@it.

@Garmoon....LMAO! Would you believe I actually used those? In my own defense, those old bic pens were notorious. With the cap on, it was upside down in your pocket and the ink always leaked out LOL!

LET THE PICTURE TALK.....

 

@Ireland...LOL! When Neph comes back, I'll have to ask him if its hard to keep a ball-cap from sliding off if you have no hair LOL!

 

I read every one of them!

 

GERRY1,I SECOND THAT...

A post does not always have to be a bitch...in this bitch thread..

 

My bitch is the same as DVDback's I mean seriously WTF?

 

@Ireland et al: I speak respectfully, not sarcastically, but just as we try to get some semblence of normalcy, someone has to rain on the parade. Just what is it these days? The safety valve has not changed since I joined in 2003 ... or at least since 2004 when I was brought into the safety valve by gear79 because the amps/receivers forum was no place for frivolous exchange. We speak of the old timers who've left but, if anything, things were considerably more chatty then. Eighteen, maybe twenty-four months ago, there came, out of the blue, flying accusations that people were merely "post-padding" in order to reach the almighty "addict" status without actually earning it, so a policy is implemented where safety valve posts don't count toward members' status. Well, to everyone's surprise, those who merely wrote to pad their posts continued to post even it couldn't expedite them to a loftier status. Things ran so smoothly for a while. In the last four to six weeks, out comes the accusations of "chattiness" from those who've engaged in more than their fair share of it as well!

I do my fair share in the receivers/amplifiers threads and, to a lesser degree, the display threads. I'm sure I'll never reach the coveted "addict" status because the forums I frequent aren't as busy as the console forums where you can post all the nonsense you like a be an "addict" in a couple of months. The positive side to having less questions is that you can provide very thorough answers with links, research and reviews which many don't have the knowledge to understand; I take my efforts for those questioning very seriously because I like to help and because there is a big danger involved in the improper combination of equipment which can result in a multi thousand dollar error. No one likes all work and no play and the safety valve has been a great place to socialize and a great place to have a sense of community which one won't get in the forums and which don't belong there. Why is it that now, after all this time, I feel like the puzzled school kid who catches hell for playing at recess and at the hands of people who've done more "chatting" themselves than any of us?

I've tried to encourage people (more than most .. including the moderators) that things are going to get better and that things are looking up. I, and others, have tried to get people spirits up only to get dumped on and return the site back to a state of doubt and depression. What the hell's the use.

I GUESS THAT THIS IS JUST ANOTHER BITCH THAT NO ONE WILL BOTHER READING. I SUPPOSE TOO THAT SOMEONE WILL COME BACK, POST A PIC AND CALL ME A DRAMA QUEEN!

Good night all. I'll come back in a day or two when I'm not so damned fed up.

 

@Gerry1 I am not too sure if this applies to what you are saying but:
-The safety valve is the SAFETY VALVE! I am too sick and tired of random mod's telling everyone (me) that the threads are pointless... If I want to post a thread about an awesome dog I found out about on the internet I should be able to without anyone saying 'ohh thats pointless' thats not the problem, the real problem is, is that half these threads belong in the 'all other topics' forum for the sole reason that they are not stupid. If the safety valve isn't for stupid and crappily thought out threads than what is it? If it isn't for what I just said, then we might as well have 2 'all other topics' forums.

 

-and no, I do not want to edit my first post.
Gerry I am reading, I know what you are bitching about, and I know too well nothing will change. Because someone will post a pic and will call you a drama queen, because people don't LEARN. History repeats, we are spiralling into hell ladies and gentlemen, if we don't do something now, were f***ed

 

My Bitch I don't post much in the forums , by the time I see something a member with much greater knowledge has already answered so I read the replys and links to furthur my own knowledge [ call this lurking or whatever] so then I come to the SV maybe just for the friendship relaxing and seeing what's the bitch for the day [permanent marker in shirt still ROFL] but in the past few weeks seems like I don't know if it's safe or not to even say hello. This is not meant to start a debate but from my perspective a little unsure of whats what.So how many others are in the same boat as me . If I do post and it's wrong let me know kindly please. Evening to all Chris

 

per drd,

Safety valve
Feel like letting off some steam? Just want to tell everyone how much the world sucks today? Or how wonderful it is? Go ahead!

that says it all..i do agree some thread like neph gun thread must stay on topic...
this thread and the old-timers thread is more or less any topic threads..as that was the way i set them up..
