Love conquers all… even in death

In light of today being Valentine’s day… and although I do know that it is a commercialised day to make us all spend money, I still find stories like this simply heart-warming.

An elderly South African couple this week proved that true love conquers all. The Free State natives who were married for 54 years, died within hours after each other.

Pikkie, 80 and Koekie de Beer, 76, who had lived in a retirement village for the last seven years, were described as a real life Romeo and Juliet. After spending over half a century together, Pikkie died last week Wednesday whilst his wife passed away during the early hours of the Thursday morning thereafter.

Although the story certainly is bitter sweet it is still comforting to know that in this age of quickie marriages and subsequent divorces that love can survive through the years and even keep partners together after they have left the realm of this earth.

Ad Image of the Day

We know this is a Photoshopped image, but it still looks kinda cool. Image these trucks on the road!? On their first appearance on the roads, people will probably be in accidents all around them from staring at this weird truck…

Popcorn anyone?

These are some awesome slow-motion videos of popcorn actually cooking and exploding. Doesn’t anything just look so much cooler in slow-motion? Anyway, we like the fact that you can really see the massive transformation from the corn kernel to the end product you put in your mouth.

The videos are only 13 seconds in length, so it a must watch!

Batmobile under the hammer

After finding out that the Ghostbuster car was on sale, we just had to do a post about one of the original Batmobiles being up for sale as well. The Batmobile is set to go under the hammer at the end of the month and should fetch in the region of $75 000.

At the end of next month, one of four original Batmobiles built by custom car grandmaster, George Barris, for the 1960s TV series, is set to go under the hammer in the UK. The car was on show recently at the Autosport Show in Birmingham’s NEC no doubt, in part, to help drum up some extra interest. Apologies for the pic of the car below, since Batman and Robin actually look kinda gay…
