Find something that's pretty cool, and it's fake? =( The last line of the article: Ultimately, it's an experiment to see if we can be fooled, and how willing we are to believe something even though it defies basic logic. I soooo wanted to believe.... LOL Last Edited by ThinkOutsideTheBox on 04/03/2014 10:37 PM ThinkOutsideTheBox |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 16678904 United States 04/03/2014 11:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | there's a road outside of Pittsburgh I think on the way to Butler that has a good few hundred yard gradual hill on it. Problem is, when you shut off the car and drift it in neutral, it goes the entire way up the hill (maybe 20 degree grade couple hundred yards). It's the same premise but on a road in your car. TOTAL MINDFUCK!!!! I saw it once, everything about it was like being in a dream, everything I knew reveresed itself.... |
