Anyone have any idea what the caption on this cartoon says? It appears to be in Finnish language(Finland)
It appears to be a guy, standing next and point at a bicycle he is holding while looking at a guy with a big stomach and short legs and arms, sitting on a moped, whom is holding a bag of chips.
And if even if you don't know what the caption reads. Do you have any suggestions for a funny caption to this cartoon? If so, send it to me or post it in the comments. Thanks.
This is a video news report about a homebuilt (garage built DIY do it yourself) compressed air powered go cart. It is a small version of an air car. It has about 3 compressed air tanks for energy storage. And one or more of them may be scuba tanks.
Please forward me the english translation of this French language news report so I may post the text. Thanks

This video report (see below) presents perhaps a community, philosophical issue. One, is it acceptable to skate or rollerblade on beach bike paths? And is it ok to bike or skate on beach bike paths in various flavors of nudity or dress?
Additionally, in this case of Jennifer, did the police selectively single her out for offence of "skating on the beach bike path" because the police could see some of her pubic hair?
In other "civilized" countries around the world, such as France, Netherlands, and other countries, nudity seems to be much more accepted, tolerated, and dare I say "enjoyed", and legal than it seems to be in the U.S. (see video "Sex, Drugs, and Democracy" a documentary about the Netherlands "Holland" )
In the bike path arrest video (Venice/Santa Monica area), "Jennifer" talks about being arrested by the LAPD. She says the police(LAPD) charged her "being a pedestrian on the (Santa Monica) bike path"(rollerblading on the bike path) and for "showing to much pubic hair in public" while skating.
This story presents an interesting topic regarding the subject of should people be allowed to enjoy the beach with or without clothes, including sun bathing, bicycling, running or skating on the Santa Monica bike path.
And this presents to subject, if someone is arrested because they were skating naked or with not enough clothes, is that a violation of their freedom of speech or other liberties guaranteed by the United States Constitution.
Perhaps the community may like to explore creating free "skin zones" perhaps where people can skate bike, run walk with freedom to wear as much or little clothes as they like. And perhaps such a place could reasonably exist where the sun shines and people enjoying bathing their skin in clean ocean breezes and nourishing sun. I welcome feedback.

Ok guys. I would like to present two videos of not on the new Smart Car (2007) called "Smart Fortwo".
Both of these videos present a little dilemma. Ok, yes, these cars can be parked perpendicularly along the curb street parking. However, existing California law states that when parking a car along a curb "...the front and back wheels must be parallel and within 18 inches of the curb." This law would make it illegal, technically, to park a smart car in the most space saving fashion, perpendicularly.(source: DMV.CA.GOV )

The Master of documentary film making has produced his latest masterpiece and cage rattler, titled "Sicko"(wiki).
As bicyclists, skaters, and ped's, having access to affordable health care is essential.
In the film, Moore takes you around the world to interview people, patients, families, doctors, and government officials on what it is like to have access to free health care paid through taxes. This film is definitely a "must see" and highly recomended.
Below that is a message from Michael Moore asking for your health care stories. Go to the you tube link to see comments to the videow and get more information on how to contribute your stories.
Below is a trailer for the film. And below the trailer is a small clip of a guy living in the USA who could not afford to have the fluid from his elbow drained. So he documented draining his elbow using a brake fluid bleeder. Warning it is a little gross, but not too bad.

Bruce Lipton - The New Biology - Where Mind and Matter Meet
Part 1 of 2
Part 2 of 2
By Bruce lipton
Recent advances in cellular science are heralding an important evolutionary turning point. For almost fifty years we ... all » have held the illusion that our health and fate were preprogrammed in our genes, a concept referred to as genetic determinacy. Though mass consciousness is currently imbued with the belief that the character of one's life is genetically predetermined, a radically new understanding is unfolding at the leading edge of science.
Cellular biologists now recognize that the environment, the external universe and our internal physiology, and more importantly, our perception of the environment, directly controls the activity of our genes. This video will broadly review the molecular mechanisms by which environmental awareness interfaces genetic regulation and guides organismal evolution.
