I didn't know that tube travel was almost a real thing!

Cool, I posted a similiar article a while ago.

Once again their lies have been proven true.

About the tubes, technology is amazing, but of course these kind of high-end, modern inventions will be too expensive first. And it's not first time something in science-fiction becomes real.

According to article: 4 ways Futurama is becoming true, there is more recent attempts too.

The ET3 doesn't carry unprotected individual passengers -- which would obviously be dangerous -- so it instead pushes six-person cars through its frictionless vacuum. The creators of the ET3 say the system could be up and running within the next decade

That was an interesting article; thanks for sharing dawson!

Thanks for the link, too, QNF. I haven't been on Cracked in a while and had to spend a good hour reading their other articles; that place is so addicting to me!

Yeah, that's a cool article.  They are often clever, even if some of the connections they try to make at times are tenuous at best, it's a fun read.  I almost never browse to Cracked directly, because it's as addicting as, well, you know... :D

More advertising threads? This either belongs in the "website whoring" section or the pile of deleted threads.

This site's fast becoming a link-dumping ground for people who want to promote their shit, and that'll get really old really quickly if it continues.
