Both Bravestarr and Wheeled Warriors were awesome cartoons.

I remember Wheeled Warriors used to come on TV early Sunday morning, maybe 7-8am. I used to get up and watch it. Think it was preceded by Ramona.

Bravestarr was another awesome cartoon. I think the fave move he had was to use Speed of the Puma to move along at high velocity and then at the last second use Strength of the Bear and smack into the baddies to send them flying in all directions.

The thing about cartoons back then was that, yes, they had violence, but they also had righteous morals which was far more important. I learnt more about right and wrong from them than I ever did from anywhere else (bear in mind this was at a very young age).

Just in case anyone has a Littlewoods account, I got an email from 'them' about terms and conditions changing, click this link to go to our website... hovered over the link and a load of gibberish appeared, and opening it with all precautions taken reveals a PDF without taking you to the site, which I didn't open. Just in case it's dodgy, I thought I'd share...

Wheeled Warriors certainly. I wasn't so much a fan of Bravestar.

It was Jayce & The Wheeled Warriors.
</pedantry>

Also, J. Michael Straczynski was involved in the writing.

Yes but it's quicker to type "Wheeled Warriors" in the same way it's quicker to type PM instead of "post meridian" or "of the clock".

Bizarre internet craze 'planking' claims its first victim after man plunges from balcony to his death

Quote:
Acton Beale, 20, fell from the balcony of a block of flats in Brisbane, Queensland, after he tried to 'plank' on some railing.

This is thought to be the first time someone has actually died from the growing craze in which people lie face down in unusual place before taking pictures and uploading them onto the internet.


Sounds like he did a pretty realistic job. More here.

From what I understand it doesn't have to be face down. You just have to bridge a gap with your body straight/flat. It doesn't even have to be high off the ground, but there's always going to be some people that want to take it to extremes.

looks like public transport for me to work tomorrow, car has started making a funny lumpy kind of behaviour at low revs and the engine light was flashing, hopefully just a coil pack and I can get it dropped off in the evening :(
