This is a fantastically well done mocu-mentary about the design and construction of some impossible amusement park rides. It's also very funny! I love how in videos like this, your brain, in fast thinking mode, assumes the reality of what it is perceiving.

You would be insane not to try this out!

I was able to whip up this great ad in about 15 minutes using
a new tool at Cornelius Zappencackler's Derange-O-Lab
called the Pulp-O-Mizer, which as you can see above, allows
one to whip up cool, fake, pulp Sci-Fi book covers.Way fun!

This cool tool, and much much more, are available to use at
Thrilling Tales of the Downright Unusual, where you can spend
hours (let me tell you!) of your day reading; "Illustrated, Interactive &
Serial Stories on the web and on Paper" and so much more! They
offer online reading as well as books that are for sale.
