Overloaded Vehicles

overloaded vehicleIf you've ever traveled to a Third World country, you've seen the odd site of an overloaded vehicle. I know I have. In India, I saw a truck very much like the one in this picture, loaded with logs and branches such that I was sure the vehicle would soon topple over .Amazingly, it didn't but kept right on chugging along down the street. In Cambodia, I saw a family riding a motorcycle. A family of six. The kids hung off each side, a baby was on the handlebars and the mom and two kids sat on the seat. Well, here's a hilarious gallery found via Boing Boing of photos that will make you gasp and laugh at the ingenuity and ambition of the human race. We advise you not to try this at home.
