Click and see!
I've seen it a million times and it's STILL funny... Somebody out there has waaaay too much time on their hands.....
btw does anyone know what language everything's written in on that site? It looks something akin to German, but it obviously isn't....

It's Icelandic. I recognize some words from Sigur Ros...
And unfortunately I cannot find a plugin for FireFox that'll play it.

ROFL!
Might be the latest addition to the Russian Airforce?

I'd laugh even harder if they could get a lawn tractor in the air.

*flinches* I don't know what you need to view this correctly since I know very little of anything computer-program-like, and a friend of mine showed this to me, I don't find it myself.... so... sorry....
I hope someone else can help you....
I'm glad the rest of you liked this thing. Bringing a smile to people is always fun.

Raa, just use I.E. The video uses embedded Windows Media Player, and since Mozilla's main purpose is to replace Microsoft(laugh, exaggeration maybe), I doubt there's a plugin for it.

Don't bother with IE. A quick look at the source reveals that the vid in question is at

Interesting... interesting, indeed.
This was real?
And DC: No. No I will not use IE. EVAR!

MOZILLA FOREVER!
Anywho, that video is pretty darn good. However, that also isn't a stock lawnmower. It's made out of what looks like balsa wood where wood is used, and probably very thin plastic. Notice the handle when the thing flies away from you. It's paper-thin.
Still, that's pretty darn good.

Yeah, that's very, very cool.
And you don't really need a plugin for FireFox to view that, since I can view it and the only plug-in I've got is Java... which wasn't running.
