My stories:

One time, I was driving on a state route here in NY, and, being a birder, I was delighted to see a great blue heron take flight from a pond by the side of the road. That delight was short-lived, however, as the bird flew above my car and I noticed a white substance "leak" out from its "backside"... I

Yes, wild turkeys can fly, but none flew as high as the one that Spacegrass hit:

And in the end, all of the 300-some-od thousand people connected to the internet also brings down speeds. There was an article a while ago where some less-populated countries (such as Australia) got the highest web speeds on the planet, while more populated and more connected countries (such as 'Murica) got some of

I hate that we can't edit after someone likes or replies. What a bugger.

I agree with your nomination :-D

Heck, even if you've never heard of it, they even show you how the Lucra LC470 is made

Granted, it's not the original GT40, but the Superformance reproduction.

HIM:DC is an entire 30-minute series on Science Channel devoted to the most awesome cars and how they're made. They've even done the Lucra LC470, Ginetta G40, Morgan 3-Wheeler, the new Corvette, 918, 650S, Veyron, Koenigsegg One:1, and dozens more.

Koenigsegg and Elon Musk should team up, these two are bleeping geniuses; Tesla batteries in a Regera plug-in = megacar with ~150mile electric range!

MUCH MORE FROM HOW IT'S MADE: DREAM CARS, including Koenigsegg One:1, Pagani Huayra, Bugatti Veyron, Morgan Aero 8, Ford GT40 (and Superformance MKIII), Aston Martin Vanquish, Zenvo ST1, McLaren 650S, Porsche 918 Spyder, Tesla Model S, BMW i8, KTM X-Bow, Caterham Seven, C7 Corvette Stingray... The list goes ON. Lucra

For you, skay. How It's Made: Dream Cars episode on the Ford GT40, a full 21 minutes of GT40 sexiness

It's all in how the sheets of carbon weave are layered onto each other. A criss-cross (+ shape) layering can result in certain good properties (strength, etc) but still leave another property absent or unforeseen problems that occur in testing. To fix that, they add a 3rd or even more layers to the product... for

How It's Made is a TV series on Science Channel here in the States, and last year, they spawned a "Dream Cars" spin-off series which shows the manufacturing process for many of our dream cars. From Bugattis to 918s to Rolls-Royces, the show shows almost every aspect of the production process of the cars (but almost

$500 fine per litter thrown right? At least $1,500 according to the witness statement... But that's like, pocket change to a Californian. I think the nationwide littering fine should be four times the current fine... lol.

The BBC are acting like a bunch of hairy-assed babies... Captain Slow, Hamster, and Jezza (aka Jennifer) poke fun at each other ALL the time and they shrug it off, but once someone outside of the show gets made fun of, all hell breaks loose and the internet is ablaze with "What {presenter} said was highly offensive

I'm sure a few briefcase-sized air-to-surface nukes will limit expendable civilian casualties, but the other issue is if you miss, a wounded ISIS supporter or civilian may become angered by the attack and form a new group.

Unfortunately, as others have stated and will continue to do so, civilian casualties occur all

Anyway, US army, just drop a nuke on the area and be done with them... Problem Solved in 2 days instead of 20 years.

Could have done without the pink hair... From a distance, she could come off as a strongman with pink hair.

I wonder if there's any particular women they looked at for inspiration (rhetorical)
For starters, Megan Avalon.
