Looks a little top heavy, but is ingenious.

Hong Kong drives on the left side of the road, mainland China on the right. So how do you prevent crashes when driving between them?

Hells Bells WTF?

Hi Trow,
no the content is blocked as the page loads OK and I can view ALL global video standards as I have the codecs and apps to play but not the videos on that page... Easy to do as many blockages due to copyright issues for the Olympics - some regions are blocked like some channels that broadcast on the net with "Olympic certified brands" forbidding other brands from display - stupid US copyright laws...

Kayak Gridlock

There's supposed to be canoes in there but I can't find one . . . there's an even greater area of floating plastic in mid-Atlantic.

Must be "boat-people", if you zoom in you can see they all have people on board... A floating community? Did you count them? Is it a guiness-book acknowledged record?

wait for it-

"lots of kayaks"
