I thought this was neat. DIY dual-use amphibious vehicleA 75 year old Chinese farmer invented and built this DIY dual-use amphibious vehicle (called "The Happy Boat"). It has a 5 HP diesel engine and a 1 HP electric engine, he plans to take it on vacation soon... ![[Linked Image from makezine.com]](http://www.makezine.com/blog/car.jpg) ![[Linked Image from makezine.com]](http://www.makezine.com/blog/boat.jpg)

My Dad had a friend he worked with that was in ‘Nam. He said while he was there he offered to trade a 1 lb canned ham to some girls at a “house of ill repute”. They said he could stay in the best room in the place for a month, and have any girl he wanted every night. I guess they really loved pork. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> That sounds like a pretty good exchange rate to me! Hmmm…we have a whole basement full of canned hams in our food storage…I’d live like a king! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
