The Geekdom's Guide: Jelly patty
 |
| Jelly patty |
In one episode of SpongeBob SquarePants, when SpongeBob asks Mr. Krab's permission for a five minute lunch break, he made a new twist to his beloved Krabby Patty by adding jellyfish jelly on it. When he ate one, he's indulged by the delicious jellyfish jelly until a customer asked what that is and then the customer tasted it and then..."Hey all you people!"
Well, you get the idea but sadly, we can't get jelly from jellyfish in real life because...yeah, it hurts a lot when you touched the jellyfish's tentacles on it. Instead, why not find some jelly from your nearest supermarkets? Make sure it's flavored because if it's a jelly without a flavor, that's so bland.
We prefer ready-made Jell-o's or Jellyace or whatever you call it but be sure it's ready-made for convenience. That's it.
How to make a burger? A 100% pure beef patty and some buns. If you can't find one at your nearest grocery, make your own.
With a cooked beef patty and buns at hand, stack them up but if you have a jelly at hand, place your jelly of choice at the top of your beef patty before stacking them up with the top bun.
Within moments...hey all you people! Hey all you people! Hey all you people, would you listen to me!!!

2014 Toyota Harrier sparks international media confusion
 |
| 2014 Toyota Harrier |
Back in the summer, Toyota Motor Corporation teased the world with its upcoming 2014 Harrier luxury crossover, which will be on sale at the end of 2013. However, although it's going to be a Japan-only model, the international motoring press often think that the 2014 Harrier hints at the next-generation Lexus RX or perhaps based on the Lexus RX. Oh great, there goes mass hysteria in the pressing issues right now. Reports said that the model's hybrid model will have the same powerplant as the Lexus RX450h. Is this true? Some say, the next generation Harrier hybrid may sport the 2.5L hybrid powerplant inherited from the Toyota Camry saloon. Others say that the 2014 Harrier is essentially based on the latest-generation RAV4, the crossover that the Japanese market hasn't got one until now.
Come on, the 2014 Harrier DOES NOT hint a future Lexus RX, it's now based on the new RAV4, and some say, it will have either a 2.0L petrol engine or a 2.5L hybrid engine.
The 2014 Harrier will be making its world premiere at November's 2013 Tokyo Motor Show and the truth will set out...

What's in our Car Town garage today?
1991 Toyota Celica GT-Four
If the Japanese commercial for this car with Eddie Murphy on it says WANTED, then this is the JDM sportscar you really wanted to drive if you were a 90's kid but there's more to it than that because this fifth-generation Celica is well known to be one of the most formidable rally warriors in the Group A category. There's also a special model dedicated to Carlos Sainz, a Spanish racer who became Toyota's first WRC champ in 1990.

2012 Lamborghini Urus
Although it may not quite be a tribute to the original "Lambo Rambo" offroader, the LM002, Lamborghini's Urus concept car, as seen at the 2012 Beijing Motor Show, showcases the future of what if Lamborghini made an SUV, which is more of an unorthodox since Lamborghini showcased the 4-door concept car, Estoque, at the 2008 Paris Motor Show.
