Things You Don't Expect To Find Under The Hood Of Your Car.
2008-05-29 21:55:00
Things You Don't Expect To Find Under The Hood Of Your Car.Dog in engine compartment: It's really surprising how did the dog get in here? Thanks Dave. Snake in engine compartment: The story goes like this: A person was on his way to work at highway speeds when he heard some sound coming in from the engine bay & pulled over. After opening the hood, this is what he found: Deer in engine compartment: Seeing these photos, its clear that this sort of thing cant happen without the knowledge of the driver or the driver isn't aware of it. We are talking about 150 pound deer in the engine compartment of a BMW convertible or perhaps it can be something done on purpose or rather if its friend's car then that explains a lot.

Cool Looking Cups .Blau Blume: Earthenware hand made in England.Anamorphic cups: The stainless steel cup has a polished mirror surface & the graphics can only be viewed correctly though the curved, reflective surface of the cup. Skase tea cup set.In these cups the external surface of the cup is printed with a second layer of temperature sensitive ink which becomes visible when a warmer liquid is poured into the cup.Another interesting one - 'On Off': At first sight it looks like any other cup with big white letters that says OFF, but once you add the warm beverage it changes color & turns white & you see big black letters that states: ON.Cup Ring.Tea Code comes with a silicone button that allows you to attach your tea bag & has two layers, it allows the temperature to decrease a lot slower than on a single walled cup.How about this one?These aren't cups, but they looked really cool & hence we pulled it in: Liqueur Glass.Other Posts:Green Roof.Police In Action.Creativity With Recyc...

Colorful Dogs.
2008-05-28 21:23:00
Colorful Dogs .If you are among those dog owners who aren't happy with your dog's looks anymore, then perhaps this might be of some help. But don't be among those who treat their pets as a style statement & feel compelled to dye them just because the pets don't match their car or the outfit. It all depends on how you want your dog to look, after all your dog trusts you the most. Some suggest dogs have no feeling how they look & all it matters to them is attention, smiling & petting they get. Those dogs that love attention & smiles get it all the way after getting dyed. While some prefer using it when the dog's fur turns gray. But at the end of the day it's great, as long as it is safe & you are happy with it.

The Only Rotating Boatlift In The World - The Falkirk Wheel.
2008-05-27 21:40:00
The Only Rotating Boatlift In The World - The Falkirk Wheel .The Falkirk Wheel (Scotland) is a remarkable & elegant mechanical marvel & is the only rotating boatlift in the world which is also been recognized as an inspirational sculpture for the 21st Century. It's a rotating boatlift connecting the Forth & Clyde Canal with the Union Canal & sited in a natural open amphitheatre near Falkirk. It can carry eight or more boats at a time & takes about 60 minutes for single time. This Millennium Link was an ambitious £84.5m project & the designers had a main objective in their minds & it was to create a functional boatlift that could raise & lower boats swiftly. The difference in the levels of the two canals at the wheel is 24 metres, which is equivalent to the height of an eight-story building. Yet the incredible civil engineering made it possible. The Falkirk Wheel's various parts were constructed & assembled at Butterley Engineering's Steelworks in Derbyshire. The whole struct...

When Cars Have To Confront.

When Cars Have To Confront.So what would be the result when cars have to confront various things like trees, trucks, water, mud or snow? Here are a few photos that clearly shows what the results are:When Cars Have To Confront Trees:(Image: Credit).Here we have a Jeep confronting a tree: This set of photos reminds of the movie Final Destination. These guys in one of the Jeep went past a fallen tree & a branch actually went through the seat of the driver. Cars Confronting Trucks: When it comes to cars confronting trucks, only one thing can be said, & only one thing can be done, avoid them & get away from their path if they are coming into you.

It wouldn't make much of a difference at times, whether its a car, or a jeep or for that matter a truck with the best of engineering, it wont come out of these situations easily.

We all know how good spinach is for us & spinach gives energy to Popeye & here we have ' Spinach Power House'. Matthew Coates & Tim Meldrum designed a house that obtains its electricity from spinach. To say, it gets its power entirely from spinach is a bit of an overstatement & the fact is it gets its power from solar energy. But the main component for generating electricity from the sun is a protein called Photosystem I, which is derived from spinach. This may be the house which Popeye would have ever wished for.

Yves Rossy has spent 5 years training for this & finally he fulfilled his dream. Its said that so far Rossy & his sponsors, which includes a Swiss watch company Hublot, have poured more than $285,000 & many hours of work into building the device.
