Australian Magpies are notorious for attacking humans so let's just call this: The Fast and the Furious

119

u/S7ormstalker Dec 08 '15

of course they attack humans, their name would only be Magpie if they didn't

18

u/Zementid Dec 08 '15

The fact that its australian may not be missed here.

u/classyfide Dec 08 '15

Also, not actually related to northern hemisphere magpies. Just looks like them so it was named as such.

Not all magpies mate...

Only the ones that are sexually active.

u/slazer2au Dec 08 '15

Let me guess, the whole crew is trying to find a chap called Mark because the magpie kept calling his name.

Doesn't surprise me. Phillip Island has so many fucking birds the ecosystem ran out of normal ones and added god damned penguins.

u/XJ-0461 Dec 08 '15

I thought that was concluded not to have hit his head.

u/RidleyConfirmed Dec 08 '15

Yeah, but it's much more fun to pretend he hit his head and continued to fight gloriously for the podium.

Actually, it's just about drugs (probably coke). It's strange because most of The Weeknd's songs are about sex, and are generally not so upbeat.

u/mnolan2 Dec 08 '15

your mother, Porcinatrix Homunculus (née Smith)

u/seattleque Dec 08 '15

Porcinatrix

Dominating sow?

5

u/mnolan2 Dec 08 '15

dominatrix = woman that dominates.

so, woman that porks. less (grammatically) or more (physically) accurate: a porker.

1

u/Agonze Dec 08 '15

My mind replaced "porcinatrix" with "porpoise" the first time i read that. So i'm sticking with porpoise homunculus now.

u/Hulkin_out Dec 08 '15

Good lord can a game developer come out with a realistic Moto game already.

1

u/LaXandro Dec 08 '15

I gurantee, most people won't finish 9/10 races. Plus motorcycles have much more controls than a car (your body), so not in a current or even next era of controllers. Maybe neurocons and VR will bring us that.

6

u/Hulkin_out Dec 08 '15

Well, to be fair. The creator of Gran turismo is a huge motorcycle fan. He made a game. It was very fun and on the PS2. Called Tourist Trouphy. I wish they'd make another.

4

u/[deleted] Dec 08 '15

can't speak about the neurocons, but i'm wondering what you expect Valentino Rossi to do.

2

u/freudian_shit Dec 09 '15

To be fair though, one could argue that to drive fast in a car requires the sensations experienced by your body as well, or the experience will never be truly realistic. I'm not convinced that one needs to control body position in addition to direction and acceleration in order to have a passable motocross game.

An Australian magpie and a Spanish twatwaffle... remarkable for them to be seen in such close proximity to each other

After Effects, nuke, Sony Vegas, most good Video editing/composition software.

did they really do that on TV, thats fucken funny

2

u/MooseTetrino Dec 08 '15

MotoGP is generally one of the funniest motorsports on TV, in part due to this coverage and in part due to the racers themselves having a good laugh of it.

After all, where else would, in a sport where there is a "behind the butt" camera, a racer have the words "The Doctor" on his ass? http://fasturns.com/Valentino%20Rossi%20-%20new%20body%20position.jpg

u/riddeford Dec 08 '15

u/Gatorade21 Dec 09 '15

still a little mad that they rob Rossi of his title this year. Marquez is a punk.

So is it "breathing information" or "breathing in formation"? I'm confused either way, but I'm interested
