Here is a video clip from a longer video which features a VW Beetle with a jet engine built into the back. In the longer version of the video the guy explains some of the construction and things like the extra fuel nozzle which causes the flames that you see in this video. In this video they have the VW Beetle with it's brakes on and the guy fires up the jet engine for the cameras. It blows out a pretty good gout of flame and smoke but other then that it doesn't do much. In the longer video I think they drive it down a road with the jet engine fired up. Reminds me of the urban legend of the guy that strapped a jet engine to his car and slammed it into a cliff. This guy just hasn't crashed it yet.

Last year Hasbro released Darth Tater, Star Wars themed Mr. Potato Head. Later on last year they also released "Spud Trooper" another Star Wars themed Mr. Potato Head. This year they are coming out with Artoo Potatoo which is R2-D2 as a Mr. Potato Head. I haven't quite figured out what the Spud Trooper guy is holding in his right hand there. It looks like a potato masher (maybe that's some kind of potate joke where instead of having a blaster rifle ala Star Wars it's a potato masher). So at some point are they going to come out with a�Mrs. Leia�Potato, Mr. Potato Chewbacca, Jabba the Potato, and Solo Potato?

Whoa there Nelly! There is a lady in China who's hair is 15 feet long (or 4.2 meters for you non-USA people). She hasn't cut her hair since she was 14 which was 26 years ago. This photo showed up as one of the most emailed photos on Yahoo too. I don't know what the record in the Guinness World Records for the longest hair is but I'll wager this is pretty close to being number one if it isn't number one.

Check out the full photo of the lady with the 15 foot long hair for yourself.

One of the most emailed photos right now is of Darth Vader and Darth Tater at the International Toy Fair. A couple months ago Hasbro announced Darth Tater and released photos of the toy which quickly became one of the most emailed photos on Yahoo. In this photo it shows Darth Tater holding a Darth Vader "action figure" and Darth Vader holding a "Darth Tater" toy (also known as Darth Tator). I just checked the date and this photo as actually from back in February so I'm not sure what spured it to hit the top emailed photos now.

Check out the full photo of Darth Tater and Darth Vader togather for yourself.

It looks like Hasbro is getting into the Star Wars spirit this year with their new Mr. Potato Head themed Darth Tater. Scary. It looks like he has a potato body�and all the accessories are from Darth Vader including mask, arms, light saber, cape, helmet, and feet. The eyes are Mr. Potato Head though; I'd know that look anywhere. It looks like you will be able to buy it in February. I wonder if the light saber has an LED in it or they just went with a classic no break toy on this one.

Another Star Wars Toy, Darth Tator.
