The Spyder version of the Audi R8 Supercar made it’s public debut at the Frankfurt Auto Show, and is now making it’s film debut via this promo video floating around the web. When you watch the ad, crank the sound to eleven Spinal Tap style. Listening to the sound effects captured in the video conjore the feelings of power and fear that the car can give you the abilities to wield over all mankind. When released the drop top version of the R8 will feature the 525 hp, 391 ft lb of torque V10 and will be capable of reaching 194 mph. More importantly it will also be capable of cruising at 5 mph around town for all your ego-boosting needs.

Artist David Barton (not sure if it’s the same one as the gym guy, but it’s not this guy for sure) created these modified art masterpieces with cast members of The Simpson’s. Perhaps you will consider this disgraceful, but I love seeing the mash-up of pop-culture icons and historic pieces of art.

National Geographic has strayed from their formula of cheetahs gorging on gazelles and topless aborigines to expand into the wonders of the industrial world with their latest TV series “Ultimate Factories“. The show takes viewers into some of the most technologically advanced factories around the globe to catch a glimpse of how they work. To this date auto factories have been the main focus of the episodes, including visits to Harley-Davidson, BWM and Chevy’s Corvette plant. My favorite episode thus far came with the visit to the Lamborghini factory in SantAgata Bolognese, Italy, but this is a series worth watching weekly. Tune in November 12 for the upcoming episode to Brazil to watch NYC Subway Cars manufactured. For more information visit the National Geographic website.
Even if you actually live under a rock there is no reason that by now you wouldn’t know this month marks the 40th anniversary of Sesame Street airing on television. Perhaps one of the only worthwhile shows to be viewed by anyone under 10 in the history of Judge Joe Brown’s, Jerry Springer’s and paternity test on Maury. Congrats to Sesame Street and thanks to Google for making us all aware of this monumental occasion.
