2005 Least Fuel-Efficient Cars permalink

#1#1: Huge Drag-Racing Truck

MPG: .001 City, .002 Highway

It takes a pond’s worth of gas just to get this thing down the drag strip. As soon as you turn the ignition, the 2,000-hp engine starts burning gallon after gallon of our sweet, precious resource. One of Dubya’s favorite rides.

#2#2: Ford Pinto Monster Truck

MPG: 2 City, 2.4 Highway

As if the ol’ Pinto wasn’t bad enough, converting it into a off-roading beast made it legendarily wasteful. The extra equipment required to power the vehicle on top of the Pinto’s engine sucks up enough gas to drown a whale.

#3#3: Toyota Land Cruiser

MPG: 5 City, 7.1 Highway

For all the effort Toyota has put into their hybrid vehicles, their SUVs and trucks are pretty much the opposite. With the money spent on the Land Cruiser and its gas each year, you might as well buy a Mercedes.

#4#4: Lamborghini Murcielago

MPG: 6 City, 8.2 Highway

Gluttony with performance and style. The only problem is that when you crash it at 230mph, the gas in the tank required to even get you going that speed will explode faster than you can say “A-bomb”.

#5#5: Original Batmobile (with flames)

MPG: 9 City, 12.5 Highway

This 1955 Lincoln Futura, used in 1966, was a dream car for most, even featuring the first car phone. Many, supercrimes were solved/thwarted in this car, mostly due to the gas-guzzling rocket booster in the rear.

Angels get massively screwed by ump, White Sox

worst call everThis was possibly the worst call in baseball history. At least the most important. If I was an Angels fan, I would still be awake from rage. I thought Scioscia was going to rip someone’s head off. He was surprisingly calm. Mad props to Buerhle for going 9IP strong though.

If you missed it, all the pics and video you’ll need are on the ESPN page. Good pic here

Nipple hair a world-record

Good God, y’all. The world media as a whole has officially hit rock bottom. I, on the other hand, am completely legit.

More and more people prefer box wine

This is no surprise. Once hillbillies found out about wine, it was over. And even Two Buck Chuck is rampant in certain areas of well-to-do communities. Jug wine, on the other hand, will rot every organ in your body.

Baboon mother licks child bald

It appears overparenting is something innate in creatures other than humans as well.

Oklahoma Lottery, less than 24 hrs old, suspected of fraud

Yeah, whatever. Right now I can’t concentrate cause the stupid chick next to me keeps tapping her pen really, really loudly. I may just have to erase all of her files.
