The Almighty T-72 tank

June 5, 2008

We’re not for the war and all that jazz, but once in a while, there’s a piece of news we just have to publish. Who doesn’t love wrecking things? The Russian T-72 main battle tank was produced in 1972 for the first time. 77 of these pieces we’re donated to the government of Iraq in November 2005. These guys wanted to test the gifts with a missile. Oddly enough, the tank blew to pieces. And we’ve got pictures to show it. Enjoy! Make love, not war!

Connecting London to New York

May 29, 2008

Forgotten for the past century deep within the Atlantic Ocean, this amazing telescope was built by a Victorian inventor to build a friendship between two large cities: London and New York. The project was resurfaced and now everyone can wave to their friends in New York effortlessly. According to the Daily Mail, “the Telectroscope uses 6ft screens and a Jules Verne style telescope that gleams with brass and an array of Victorian dials. Participants peer into one end of the screen - and hey presto - they can see anyone standing at the other side.” Here is how the powerful telescope looks like.

Dinner in the Sky

April 27, 2008

Dinning at a high altitude - it might seem fantasy, but the following pictures prove it’s real. The idea originated in Belgium and it involves a massive table (assembly required, the 150 foot crane not included), seating for 20 people and the waiters. The table has been seen in Paris or Belgium, at special events, and is expected in New York and Niagara Falls. This restaurant in the sky can come to your town for a mere $20,000.

Junk is All Around Us

April 16, 2008

And space didn’t get away from the junk. The European Space Agency (ESA) has released a computer-generated picture depicting our planet surrounded by millions of pieces of space junk. Seems like soon Saturn won’t be the only planet with a ring around it. The spacial junk yard is constantly travelling at 20,000 miles above the Earth.

Much of it is junk with telecommunications equipment that once cost millions now past its sell-by date yet still in orbit. ESA says the number of objects in Earth’s atmosphere has risen steadily increasing by 200 per year on average and that there are now 600 working satellites.
