Quote from Kalev EST :

Didn´t Ferdinand Porsche design the Beetle on Hitler´s orders? I doubt Hitler was much of an engineer to do it himself.

proshe designed it but hitler didnt think it was practical, so he made hsi own version, after the way, the 1950's design where porshe...


i know too much, Fact.

and "kraft durch Freude" (strength through enjoyment) was not a car... it was the nazi's very own travel agency. They wanted the "porper german" to have fun, so they organized everything from swimming courses, party evenings... up to proper cruises on big ships. The nazis intended that someone who is happy works better (for them). However the beetle was first called "kdf-Wagen", it should be very cheap and mobilise people, so they would be happier and work more. In fact the beetle should be germany's Tin Lizzy. Cheap, simple, reliable.
Designwise there's some rumour. Some eastern european guy could be the inventor of the overall beetly shape, a designer at mercedes claimed responsible for it... basically if we lived back in the days and would have been asked to sketch a simple car, everyone would draw the beetle without having seen it before: fwd - expensive. transaxle - expensive. get the engine to the back as much as possible to create more space, boot in the front, 4 seats and a cheap hull. here you go, the 356...erm...beetle

another fact: about 99% of the random facts on the interweb are hoax!

If a Brazillian Wandering Spider bit a man and the spider actually injected poison into the man and the man didn't have the treatment with him (which is easily obtainible), he would die with an erection . thats lol! I bet the poison somehow stimulates the hormones . Also, every 100 Ferrari frames that are being made in the Ferrari factory, 1 frame will have a defect, or a bad spot in it.

I heard this earlier at school, not too sure about it but meh

"A doctor has admitted the of a teenage cancer patient who died after a hospital drug" is all that I got. Laugh at me if I didn't get those two words.

How long did it take you to get what you got?
The two missing words are 'manslaughter' and 'blunder' by the way.

In 1972 a skydiver had both parachutes fail and fell 3000ft, smashing into the ground face first, he walked away with minor injuries.

Well something must have stopped his fall...Either snow, trees, or a skirt?

PICS or it DIDN'T HAPPEN on that one.

I was watching some urban legends program (really crap program btw) and they had someone who was runover by a steamroller and survived.
