The 1966 Batmobile

Thwack! Biff! Bap! Ker-pow! Splooch! Klonk! Only a few words to describe the legendary 60’s TV show Batman. Remember the good old times and forget the Dark Knight’s 2008 Batpod, have a look on the original Batmobile!

In 1955, the Lincoln division of Ford Motor Company designed and built a futuristic concept car called the Lincoln Futura. It was built entirely by hand in Turin, Italy at a cost of $250,000, and like many concept cars, was never put in to production. In the mid 1960’s, George Barris of Barris Kustom City acquired the car for $1 directly from Ford.
Fast forward to August 1965, the Batman TV show producers approached George to have him build a new Batmobile for their upcoming show. The only catch was the car had to be ready for action in a mere three weeks. Seeing the bat-like qualities his Futura already had, George felt it was the perfect answer to the quandary 20th Century Fox had created.
Three weeks later in October of 1965, the Batmobile was born and television history was made…

And yes, you’re right, there is an entire website dedicated to the 1966 TV Batmobile!

The Big Bang Theory does not only excite with its genius humor, but also because of the great t-shirts Sheldon, Leonard, Rajesh and Howard are usually wearing.
For that reason someone put together a webpage featuring most of the t-shirts the main protagonists of TBBT were wearing in the show. There are also links to shops were you can purchase them.

That’s how to survive!

I’m sure all of you watched the groundbreaking TV show Man vs. Wild featuring former SAS member Bear Grylls. This guy has been everywhere: deserts, mountains, jungles, glaciers, forests, desert islands, the most remote wilderness and he even climbed the Mount Everest at the age of 23!

Grylls climbing cliffs, parachuting from helicopters, balloons, and planes, paragliding, ice climbing, running through a forest fire, wading rapids, eating snakes, wrapping his urine-soaked t-shirt around his head to help stave off the desert heat, drinking urine saved in a rattlesnake skin, drinking fecal liquid from elephant dung, wrestling alligators, field dressing a camel carcass and drinking water from it, eating various “creepy crawlies” [insects], utilizing the corpse of a sheep as a sleeping bag and flotation device, and free climbing waterfalls. Grylls also regales the viewer with tales of adventurers stranded or killed in the wilderness.

But this is propably the worst part ever: Bear Grylls eats a giant rhino beetle larvae:

Just one single word: disgusting. But always rember:

Pound for pound, insect’s larvaes contain more protein than beef or fish — the perfect survival food!
