Круто! I have no idea what that means but it must be something like "awesome!" posted by Citizen Premier at 9:55 PM on March 15, 2006
isn't that the word that's pronounced like "Shto!" that always makes me wish I spoke russian because it's so cool to say? posted by shmegegge at 9:57 PM on March 15, 2006
Babel fish translated it at "steeply." Screw you too, babel fish! posted by Citizen Premier at 10:08 PM on March 15, 2006
Incidentally he's basically showing you how to make one in those pictures. If only I had a drawer with assorted lengths of wire... posted by Citizen Premier at 10:11 PM on March 15, 2006
That's great. There's some kick-arse furniture on the blog too. posted by tellurian at 10:14 PM on March 15, 2006
Here's the original. He's got a whole army! posted by tellurian at 10:18 PM on March 15, 2006
look at the little guns! It's so cute to see nerds playing dolls. posted by MadamM at 10:27 PM on March 15, 2006
Holy coolness, riffie! Thanks! posted by Lynsey at 10:32 PM on March 15, 2006
Awesome find, riffy - most excellent post. Those figures are so tiny - look at them in relation to the matchstick or the die, wowie.
The overall site looks like hobbyists sharing some how-to on awesome arts and crafts projects. These critters are fun too. posted by madamjujujive at 11:06 PM on March 15, 2006
Hey wait where's all the single-link harters? Screw it, that link is fucking awesome, and a link to the Cat 5e specification would have ruined it. posted by pivotal at 11:10 PM on March 15, 2006
very impressive; excellent find! posted by AllesKlar at 11:14 PM on March 15, 2006
Very cool. Minor note, it looks more like 12 gauge electrical wire than cat 5 ethernet cable. :-) posted by jba at 11:46 PM on March 15, 2006
This is awesome.
Sidenote: During a Psych 101 course, my class were discussing gender roles being nature or nuture and my prof finished a sentece with "..like girls playing with toy cars and boys playing with dolls."
I couldn't resist yelling "They're action figures, damn it!" posted by jmhodges at 11:49 PM on March 15, 2006
Babelfish is correct, if limited: "круто," used here in its colloquial sense of "cool," does indeed mean "steep." posted by rob511 at 11:50 PM on March 15, 2006
I knew a kid in elementary school who used to make figures out of cheese wax and aluminum foil. This is pretty much the same. posted by rxrfrx at 4:08 AM on March 16, 2006
Wow, I thought it was a new category 5 hurricane! Then I realized that hurricanes are all female. And I saw the picture of the guy made out of wire. posted by BlackLeotardFront at 12:57 PM on March 16, 2006
BLF, not all hurricanes are female. But you're OK, because it's not hurricane season. posted by rxrfrx at 1:05 PM on March 16, 2006
I guess you're right. What am I thinking of that's all female, other than boats? and bene gesserit? posted by BlackLeotardFront at 10:42 PM on March 16, 2006
