Design of pure evil


Bored with common, garden-variety roller coasters?  Looking for something a bit stronger?  Then try Julijonas Urbonas's Euthanasia Coaster.  The name isn't just hype.  It really is designed to kill you, though I'd have thought that "Premeditated Murder Coaster" is a better and legally accurate description.



Meanwhile, Britain comes up with an equally thrilling and more cost effective version–plus, the tide takes care of the messy clean up problem.

It's rare for one of the "elite'" to so elegantly demonstrate his utter contempt and hatred for the rest of us.

Still, it's probably better aesthetically than a performance art piece consisting of the "artist" jumping up and down in a town square, shrilling "I hate you all! You all must diee!" in a weird falsetto.

My only request is that, if they build this kinetic Auschwitz, the designer gets the first ride.

cheers (and up theirs)

RE: The Rollercoaster:


Isabella:

Phineas, are you sure this is safe?

Phineas:

Of course!
Phineas: It's like a leisurely drive around downtown
But it starts with a 3 mile drop straight down
And now keep your head and hands and feet inside the ride
Not a written rule but it's strongly advised
Permanecer sentados, por favor
Scream if you want more!
That's right

Cork screwin 'round the interstate
With peanut butter and rubber snakes
Clear the way move over
Look out Bud
Here comes the mud!
Look out!

Right side up and upside down
Don't ask me to talk
Can't tell a verb from a noun
And I'm screaming like a baby
Who's afraid of a clown

Buford:

I'm glad I'm wearing trousers
That are already brown!

Phineas:

It'll twist your belly
It'll turn your gut
Man is this ride sweet or what?
