Trippin on Shrooms

"Like a black light poster come to life, a group of bioluminescent fungi collected from Ribeira Valley Tourist State Park near São Paulo, Brazil, emanates a soft green glow when the lights go out.

The mushrooms are part of the genus Mycena, a group that includes about 500 species worldwide. Of these only 33 are known to be bioluminescent—capable of producing light through a chemical reaction." - news.nationalgeographic.com

Bionic Dolphin

"The bionic dolphin is part speed boat, part submarine. It seats two people and is powered by a 425-horsepower Corvette engine. It can stand upright (just like Flipper), cruise at 55mph, and is constructed of Kevlar. Its creator, Thomas Rowe, is still awaiting approval before he can start cranking them out, but expect to pay up to $350,000 clams for this aquatic beast. " - engadget

I'll take two...

New Halo 3 Pics

Here are some hard to see pics posted in a swedish magazine. Still for Halo junkies it's worth a look.

Rambo 4

"Rambo IV: In the Serpent's Eye, will begin shooting in Thailand early next year. Sylvestor Stallone will return to play the Vietnam Vet, brought out of retirement to rescue missionaries held captive..." - digg.com

Rocky and Rambo... Stallone must be hurting for some cash. I'll go see it though I mean these movies represent my childhood. And who didn't want a big freakin Rambo knife when they were young?

Vampires a Mathematical Impossibility

"Efthimiou's debunking logic: On Jan 1, 1600, the human population was 536,870,911. If the first vampire came into existence that day and bit one person a month, there would have been two vampires by Feb. 1, 1600. A month later there would have been four, and so on. In just two-and-a-half years the original human population would all have become vampires with nobody left to feed on." - livescience.com

Well this is a bummer...

Ummm...

Sonic Bed

"The sonic bed is a king-size bed with 12-channel surround sound. It may look like a wooden tank from the outside, but inside its got enough speakers to dwarf any home theater set up. Created by Kaffe Matthews as a museum exhibit (no plans for retail as of yet), the bed requires 220 volts of electricity and covers every inch of your body in sound." - engadget.com

Blogger isn't letting me upload pictures today so you will have to follow the link to see the pics. I'm trying to find another blogging site to move Speak of the Bevill too. I am getting so tired of blogger being so slow and only working half the time.

Level 60

Well last night I finally reached level 60 on my World of Warcraft character. After over a year of off and on playing I was able to reach 60. I am too embarrassed to say how many hours it took. This goal also announces my retirement from Warcraft... I hope. It was fun while it lasted. No more killing wild boar trying to find the Sword of a Thousand Truths. Thanx for the good times Blizzard. You were a good friend... and by good friend I mean someone who charged me $15 a month to steal countless hours of my life by forcing me to learn a new language (LOL, LFG, AFK...) and and waiting for 15 min flight paths.

Trying To Outrun Roadblock

"Here is a good way to mess up your car. Im not sure where this is from but these cars try to outrun a road block as it lowers for paying vehicles." - break.com

This just made me laugh.

Update: Just follow the link. Their little embeded video player sucks.

Motorized House Follows the Sun

"The house is made of glass and steel and has a max speed of 1 revolution every 30 minutes. You can program it to always face the sun. There's only one of its kind at the moment, but plans are being made to construct more rotating houses." - Gizmodo

Now that's innovation. Click on the title for more pics that show how it moves.

Skateboard Art

This makes sense when you think about it. From an artist named Thinkmo.

Tank Paintball

Southfields must be the only farm in Britain guarded by an armoured car and a 16ft artillery gun (both decommissioned). This is a working farm but, 15 years ago, Stuart Garner decided to try out an extra source of revenue on his family farm's 250 acres. He opened a conventional paintball site in one of the woods, but kept thinking up ways of improving it.

So, he bought an old tactical missile launcher (without a missile) to replicate landing craft assaults on dry land. That went down a treat, so he bought a couple of armoured personnel carriers (APCs) to liven things up even more.

Then, he had another idea. If the general public found it so much fun playing infantry games, maybe they would like to try out a spot of armoured activity, too. How about tank paintball?

It took a few years to perfect. Stuart eventually, found just what he needed at an ex-military vehicle sale. During the Seventies, the Army used an APC called an FV432. A handful were also built with turrets and a nasty 30mm Rarden gun.

Stuart had the guns removed and contacted Jez Smith, 26-year-old local engineer and serial inventor, to make the biggest paintball gun ever seen. Their chosen ammunition, fired by compressed air, would be paint-filled ping-pong balls.

The first attempt blasted a ball into orbit. Jez lost sight of it after a mile-and-a-half when it passed the church spire. It also sent a small potato through the sound barrier. Over time, he calmed it to a legal and relatively modest 200mph. Jez then designed a 40mm, 8ft steel barrel to slot into the turret and the company now has five. "Obviously, these aren't proper guns with rifled barrels or they'd be illegal," says Stuart, 38. "But a ping-pong ball full of liquid doing 300ft per second is lethal. That's why we operate with sealed hatches." - http://www.dailymail.co.uk

This is the coolest idea ever! I would love to try this!
