The Blow Yourself Up series of modified skate decks are pretty cool too. They boards can all ride on the street, because the modifications are all done at the same level of the trucks, so the wheels have enough room to function. There are pipe bombs attached and switches hardwired for the skater who needs to take himself out.

Flight of the Conchords End TV Show

"While the characters Bret and Jemaine will no longer be around, the real Bret and Jemaine will continue to exist."

Bummer city: After two televison seasons and two albums of quirky musical comedy, the Flight of the Conchords guys are calling it quits. "We won't be returning for a 3rd season," wrote the duo on their official site. "While the characters Bret and Jemaine will no longer be around, the real Bret and Jemaine will continue to exist."

Lots of people talk about quitting successful endeavors while they're still successful, but few actually do it, so kudos to Flight of the Conchords for not fading away. Their legacy will live on in CD and DVD form for hundreds of years.
