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)

    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?
