Fascinating to see new worlds being created

newworldI heard in class about how all these countries were once a single island. They broke up and drifted apart to create countries and islands etc. It’s fascinating to see one happen in our life time.In Ethiopia this is happening now.

A 35-mile rift in the desert of Ethiopia will likely become a new ocean eventually, researchers now confirm.

Human Body Is Built for Distance

Posted on November 11, 2009 by prasanth

Fascinating to see that Human can out run most mammals. No wonder then, that we are the dominating species of this world.

Most mammals can sprint faster than humans — having four legs gives them the advantage. But when it comes to long distances, humans can outrun almost any animal. Because we cool by sweating rather than panting, we can stay cool at speeds and distances that would overheat other animals. On a hot day, the two scientists wrote, a human could even outrun a horse in a 26.2-mile marathon.

Aluminum car made for Mr.Orcacle

This beautiful car was commissioned by Larry Ellison. Kirkham motorsports built it in aluminum in 2 1/2 years. On their website they have a detailed book in pdf form for you to read about how it was built and what went into making this beauty. I wish they made a documentary rather than book. That would have been far more interesting to see.
