After watching this video of a radio-controlled car driving past a line of wine bottles, playing the theme for Super Mario Brothers in the process, we have a question: was the wine consumed prior to the successful completion of the task at hand? If so, that would make this video even more impressive, though it's pretty much epic as it stands. Released in 1985, the video game predates the Cosworth Escort model used for the stunt, but both take us back to the days of our youth when both Mario Brothers and European hot hatches were the stuff of dreams. And we love it.

These are probably not the same people that brought you the fast and the furious. Someone has a LOT of time on there hands...

I want that kind of time on my hands! It must have been like making a long line of dominos, only to have it all get knocked down :) Got to admit, as time wasters go, I have to give him credit as an old school gamer. Neat!

MY GOD! I can't imagine how much time that must have taken to get the spacing and pitch just right.

Last name doesn't help the cause though. --- I'm sorry but the shot was open, I had to take it.

Greenhouse gases can be reduced by eliminating this kind of behavior. Where are the environmental wackos when we need them the most.
Torrent @ Apr 16th 2008 12:12PM
Cool, but for people who don't have lives.
