  • iching, on 10/15/2007, -75/+8It looks like it is Scandiavian design and maybe also located in either Denmark or Sweden.
    But then again it could be Dutch.
    • Ventolin, on 10/15/2007, -3/+177Quite so quite so. *puffs his pipe*
      • dclowd9901, on 10/10/2007, -28/+6By george! I think he's got it! *wipes ass with $100 bill*
        • YoHenYo, on 10/10/2007, -2/+39killed it dclowd.
          leave well enough alone.
        • Dylson, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Wow dclowd u MURDERED that one.
          • Gir53457, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1killed it Dylson.
            leave well enough alone.
    • lordmetroid, on 10/10/2007, -12/+5Think I spotted it in Denmark.
    • jspegele, on 10/12/2007, -3/+113Looks like Spanish design to me, but then again, I cheated. I read the text right under the photo that says: "Valencia"
    • TheInfamousOne, on 10/10/2007, -1/+31Good catch, it takes a good eye to tell the difference. Looking at it from my view, I'd also say its from somewhere near water.
    • schweeet, on 10/10/2007, -4/+5The pictures seem to indicate that they are from Valencia (Spain).
    • tmbrwolf19, on 10/10/2007, -3/+7Its based on a lanteen rig. Its a design native to the Mediterranean, so it would make sense if it was in Spain. On side note, lanteen rigs were favoured by pirates and corsairs due to their speed and ability to sail close to the wind (close to the direction it was coming from that is).

      Either way, that is damn cool... and makes me wanna go play in it.
    • bassman12593, on 10/10/2007, -4/+2and how could you possibly be inferring that just by looking at the picture? besides, in the background, there's a beach, last time i checked, beaches in denmark/scandinavia didn't look like That
      • MonarchWastxD, on 10/10/2007, -3/+2Actually you can get beaches like that up north (they look nice but they are hella cold) so please don't act as stupid as you write please. Natural erosion controls the look of most beaches, not everyone likes a super hot beach (otherwise there'd be no blackpool) you are generalising all times, using the word inferring entirely wrong... Capitalising the last word instead of the first and trying to be patronising.
        • bassman12593, on 11/18/2007, -0/+1Hey, he still got dugg down more than I did.
    • MonarchWastxD, on 10/10/2007, -4/+1Sorry wrong post edited look in reply to previous comment... can't delete this one :(
    • goodkidyo, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1NERDIC
    • iching, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Boy did I eat it on that one........It does remind me of a skiff I helped build years ago in Denmark
      SORRY, WELL DESERVED SLAM.......LOL........I hosted my sail with water on that post.
  • lifewithryan, on 10/15/2007, -10/+595ehrm...thats a fountain :)
  • GWAN, on 10/12/2007, -13/+55Does it float?
    • mknoll1, on 10/11/2007, -28/+18more importantly will it blend?
      • NeMoD, on 10/10/2007, -9/+21I think water blends pretty well
      • WiLLGT09, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3lol, i knew someone would say this before i had a chance. why is everyone digging him down?
    • bogatash, on 10/10/2007, -27/+7But will it blend?
    • pushmouse, on 10/10/2007, -0/+27It floats on land.
    • themastersb, on 10/10/2007, -7/+1It's not very practical. How can it even be called a boat?
    • thexder, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10only if it weighs as much as a duck
    • IllBeBack, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2You don't see it sinkin' do ya? It must float then.
    • DeviantDragon, on 10/10/2007, -5/+16Who cares if it'll float. WILL IT BLEND?
    • VenomBRA, on 10/23/2007, -0/+1They ALL float down here.
  • kete00, on 10/15/2007, -4/+503Sure....but what about water made out of a boat?
    • silverchrysalis, on 10/12/2007, -16/+75i see what you did there
      • kete00, on 10/11/2007, -1/+77Yes, I've studied the subtle nuances of comedy for several years.
      • jspegele, on 10/10/2007, -2/+26You're officially punished for that. Go sit in the corner and don't talk to anyone.
    • codehkr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+44You just blew my mind!!!
    • SourSlurpee, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10Not nearly as much fun to swim in.
    • Timmaay, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Ahh, you hurt my brain.
    • theprez, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1My brain tickled...
  • lukemandese, on 10/15/2007, -8/+293i was expecting an actual boat constructed from water
    • IphtashuFitz, on 10/11/2007, -1/+60Go up to the Arctic circle and pick out an iceberg and you're all set!

      Just don't try sailing it to the Caribbean or any other tropical locations...
    • mydigga, on 10/10/2007, -7/+5and that's exactly what you got
      • acarr, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2no. there was a bit of metal involved there.
  • FreakyD, on 10/12/2007, -34/+8Someone want to tell me what the ***** the point of that is?
    • RuckusNutz, on 10/10/2007, -7/+8They call it art. I agree that it is absolutely pointless.
    • pixelmixer, on 10/10/2007, -3/+4Does everything have to have a point? Why are you here? Why do you exist? What is the point of you? no-one knows anyhow, we're all pointless, therefore the pointless must boat fit seamlessly with reality. ;p
  • EarthernJar, on 10/20/2007, -4/+431That's nothing: check out the plane made out of air in the background!
  • TannerC, on 10/10/2007, -3/+11It's magic.
  • AriaStar, on 10/11/2007, -3/+44I expected something ice that would actually float, not a liquid "sculpture."
    • InfiniteNothing, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1Booooo I want Ice Boat!
    • TheAstronomer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12Boat covered in water
      http://growabrain.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized ...
      • bassman12593, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1no, thats ice.
        still cool though, closer to a boat made out of water than the crappy water fountain up there ^
    • Blueee, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0you know, they actually proposed a boat made of a composite of water and saw dust. It was supposedly approximately 15 times stronger than ice and retained the properties of ice that caused it to become stronger as the substance got colder. it's cost projection was too high though and the coolant systems to tedious, expensive and inefficient.
      It was proposed during World War II also...
    • CocodaMonkey, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0If it makes you feel better there are such things as ice ships. There is one currently up in Jasper, Alberta, Canada. It was a prototype ship meant to be used up north where it never went above freezing. It's kinda run down now because the idea never caught on and the project was abondoned. It's actually been sunken but people still go scuba dive it all the time. I'm sure if someone looked you could find pictures of it well it was still above water.
  • mostreliable, on 10/10/2007, -19/+1lagged site. buried
  • MyTouch, on 10/16/2007, -8/+7Mirror at http://m3.bestpicever.com/piles/?s=waterboat
  • wild, on 10/16/2007, -2/+73FTA:
    " posted 2 years 11 months ago, terribly early in the morning"

    I am just saying...
    • acarr, on 10/10/2007, -3/+0what ARE you saying?
    • bstew22, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7i wonder if he/she was drinking coffee if it were that early in the morning. (this is a dumb comment)
    • thailand1972, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Early in the morning at very late at night?
    • WaterDragon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1It's a tribute to ...alcohol.
  • edenseager, on 10/10/2007, -3/+16how disappointing...
  • xioner, on 10/10/2007, -6/+2very nice. Even though I was expecting an actual boat made of ice or something :-P
  • techsmack, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10At least the title was accurate on this one........

  • codehkr, on 10/10/2007, -9/+1You just blew my mind!!!
  • Lazyboy0172, on 10/10/2007, -12/+4I read 'borat' instead of boat... got to the page and was extremely confused and angry.
    "what the *****...if anything that looks more like a boat than borat.......oh. damn."
  • Treshnell, on 10/13/2007, -2/+29I've seen better.
  • rhoulo, on 10/10/2007, -13/+1sure, it'll float... but will it blend?
    • DreamLamtallica, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0I was just about to type that myself...
  • kedafi, on 10/10/2007, -7/+1just lame

  • marc54, on 10/10/2007, -5/+0What time does the 8:30 boat leave?
  • centran, on 10/12/2007, -1/+36"Wow. It's a schooner."
    "Ha ha ha ha. You dumb bastard. It's not a schooner... it's a Sailboat"
    "A schooner IS a sailboat stupid head."
    "You know what. There is NO Easter Bunny."
  • 4everjade, on 10/15/2007, -4/+0way cool... what a great picture and a unique fountain
  • RadiatedAnt, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7I was expecting an ultra photoshop!

  • MisterNetHead, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1I was expecting a lame photo of a boat built in dry dock followed by hordes of diggers harassing the submitter. Then I realized that I'd seen this picture before. Dugg for ambiguity.
  • madhippy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7http://www.combinedops.com/Pykrete.htm

    • umdigger, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1It's in Valencia Spain. I was actually just there last week. My friend was convinced it was a compas of sorts (due to the design on the bottom of the fountain). I told her no.
  • bassman12593, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1interesting...i think
  • asskicker32, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1shouldnt it be a "fountain made out of a boat"?

    • thailand1972, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0It's not polish, it's water. :) < < < just in case
  • melpost, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1I wonder who came up with the idea? Hope that water is recyclable.
  • exlaval, on 10/10/2007, -4/+3man! lately the lamest things r just unbearable

    • chewbaccapits, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1No *****..I get tired of these freaken pictures making it to the front page...
  • mercano, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Bah. Now this is a ship made out of water. Course, they never got past the 60 foot proof of concept boat.
