That smarts! Dutch pranksters go car-tipping, and more
by Sarah van Schagen
30 July 2009


Smart car

Dutch treat
Forget cow-tipping. Dutch pranksters are all about car-tipping these days, dumping dozens of lightweight Smart cars into Amsterdam’s canals. What tossers!



Keep on truckin’
Giving the Weinermobile (R.I.P. Oscar) a run for its money, the Truck Farm is a CSA on wheels. Talk about teaching an old Dodge new tricks!

Ice cream truck

Cloudy with a chance of ice cream
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream that teaches us about climate change and emerging nanotechnology.



Monkey business
Guard your gardenias, folks, seems guerilla gorilla gardening is on the rise.

Lorax

Take that, Once-ler!
He is the Lorax; he speaks for the trees. And soon he’ll be doing it in animated 3-D.
