Polish Absurds #3 - Limousine for $500

Do you need a chick magnet and don't have money/idea? Then here you go - limousine made from two cars Fiat 126p. It's possible to buy such car for about $150 and you need two such machines (but one could be without engine etc.)

So two such cars, some saw, paint and imagination and here you go. It doesn't look professional, but who cares anyway?

Who wouldn't like to drive such car? ;)

Polish Absurds #2 - How to get driving licence in Poland

Hello,

Big part of my readers are from US, so they may find tons of absurd in this post. However I invite everyone to read it:)

So how to get driving licence in Poland?

• You need to take a course for about $400-$500, which includes 30 hours of theory and 30 hours of practice
• You need to pass theoretical exam which is rather easy. 18 questions, 2 errors possible. The tests costs only $8
• Then the worst part: practical exam. One attempt costs $40 and it's rather common for people to fail 3 or more times. The exam takes about 40-60 minutes in which the person who is tested needs to drive through the city including parking between the cars on real parking lot. It's common for examiners to take people to the hardest possible places so they will fail, well it's more cash and free time for them.
• If one fail, then re-take takes another $40 and one month of wait.

I am finally after the exam, so I know how hard it is to pass it. I've heard that in US it's easier and cheaper to get the driving license, the same in Czech Republic and on Ukraine.

How it looks like to get the driving license in your country? How much money and time one need to drive a car legally?

Polish absurds #1 - Tu-154 and Jesus Christ grave

Hello!

I've found interesting topic - polish absurds. If you like it I will sometimes post something crazy about my country instead of tech stuff.

(Some historical stuff, if you know something about Poland and Tu-154 tragedy, just skip this section)
First of all. Poland is a catholic country, it should stick only to religion but very often politics is merging with religion. Yes, it sucks. I do believe that you know that about year ago the plane Tu-154 has crashed in Smolensk (Russia) with polish president, officers and let me name them "elite of our country". Of course it was tragedy for us but this is a point where religion sticked to it making joke from a tragedy.

IF YOU SKIPPED LAST SECTION, PLEASE START READING HERE.

It's Easter time, so in churches there were placed artificial graves of Jesus Christ as a symbol of his death for our sins, but... one of them is really crazy because of last year's plane crash. They've actually made Jesus Christ's grave out of fake Tu-154 plane. Man, this is crazy and I feel sorry for one who made this.

Tu-154 Jesus grave

 

Come on. I really feel like they think that former president of Poland was actually Jesus Christ. How should I interpret it? Jesus didn't died in plane, they should know it as catholics.

How do you feel about joining politics and religion?
