Don't you just love the ads at the back of Popular Mechanics?

[DVad3r]

I love the ad's, and wish to someday be able to purchuse all the shit they have on the back there. Like a dome home, capable of withstanding an atomic blast, bad ass. Or a huge massive giant lawn mower attachment at the back that shreds shit you suck up. Or "I" steel beam homes capable of withstanding 140 mph winds. Or helicopter kits for $ 999.99.

Or authentic military rings. I was thinking of buying a vietnam war one and pretending to be a veteran, in Canada people would buy that. Id swagger into restaurants and get free egg breakfasts.

I always thought the pheromone and sex ads in PopSci were hilarious.

 

[Balr0g]

No but I do enjoy the best of what's new

 

[DVad3r]

When I win the lottery I am building myself a dome home right in a regular residential neighbourhood where every single house looks the same. Except mine, Ill be the dome king.

A dome is an inefficient useage of space.

I read Popular Mechanics/Science when I was a kid, but then I read it again as an adult and its sad how bad it is.

No doubt. I would never do it though, I actually know a nam vet here in Toronto and I have much respect for him, one of the most empathetic people I have ever talked to.

A parabolic dome home would be better. You could cover the ceiling with mirror tiles, set a bright light at the focal point, and light the whole house with a single bulb.

What do you do when it burns out at night?

You guys do not read the correct ads in PS and PM. The best ads are for the John Ellis water machine. It will change your life, cure cancer, etc.

But what if they're just saying so you stay in your home. You wouldn't be around to sue them...

Seriously! You'd think the average Popular Science reader would be less of a sucker.

Oh, wait. You mean they don't actually...

 

[Lurknomore]

I never did get to building that $999.99 helicopter.
Concerns about parking issues in manhattan. And if a rotor brushes against a pedestrian, they might sue. Worry, worry, worry...

I wonder if you can land a catch like Dr. Winifred Cutler with her super 100x pheremone formula.
