The other day I say an episode of "Dirty Jobs" where the host was dismantling a parade float. Talking baout the mechanics we leaerned that while most floats drive at 2-4 miles per hour, when you put the peddle down the things can do 30-40 MPH! Now as a Loyal viewer of the Macy's thanksgiving Parade the image of a giant gingerbread house or box of craytons hitting the turnpike at 40 is damn silly, but of course there's the final attack scene from "Animal House" where the order is "Cut the cake" followed by "Ramming Speed!" and all hell breaks loose.
About 10 years ago in New York a blimp crashed in Brooklyn, it didn't burn and because there was no ridged frame it did no damage to the buidling it hit, but it looked truly weird. So what other damn silly rides can you imagine runners getting behind? |
