” The 650-gallon tank spans the top of the bed, and rests on a pair of matching tables on either side. The folks at Acrylic Tank Manufacturers, who created this masterpiece, have cleverly integrated a set of bedside lamps into the tank itself. But for $11,500, let’s hope there’s some way to completely darken the tank. Otherwise you could be wide awake all night finding Nemo right in your face.”

Behold the 900-MPH Supersonic Ping-Pong Bazooka
” The Internet can teach you how to build a gun that launches ping-pong balls at a few hundred miles per hour. Big deal—where’s the fun in shooting projectiles at subsonic speed? To kick it up a notch, a team of mechanical engineers at Purdue University has reconfigured the ping-pong-ball gun into a supersonic bazooka.
Click hereto watch as it turns four aluminum cans into shrapnel. For years, Mark French has been using the regular subsonic version of the gun to teach kids about physics.”I’ve brought it to 4-H clubs and to schools. I’ve gotten ridiculous mileage out of this thing. With all that use, you can’t help but wonder whether you can improve it.”
Once the engineers got the bazooka up and running, they tested it on all sorts of materials, including VHS tapes, 3/4-inch plywood, stereo speakers, and even a sheet of steel. “The ball didn’t go through the steel, but it put a whopper of a dent in it,” French says. “Normally what happens is the ball comes out in pieces—it’s shattered but not deformed. For this one, it melted and buckled. I didn’t expect that.” “

” “What happened over the Urals region was not a meteor shower, as was reported earlier. It was a meteorite, which burned up as it passed through the lower layers of the Earth atmosphere. However, it triggered an impact wave, which smashed windows in several houses in the region,” she said.
Four people were reportedly injured by falling glass, she said. Radiation levels remain normal in the area, the spokesperson said.
“There has been no increase in radiation levels. They remain normal. The meteorite did not effect them,” Smirnykh said.
The accident did not cause any disruption to mobile network operations in the region.
Meteorite pieces are not expected to actually fall to the Earth. However, regional emergency services have been put on high alert, the spokesperson said. “

Train stolen and crashed into a house
” Now, stealing cars, trucks and motorcycles are pretty common occurrences, but stealing a train? That’s not something you hear about every day. A 20-year old woman, who works as a cleaner in Stockholm, Sweden, did just that. She Stole the keys to a train, then drove it at a high speed to the end of the track it was on and crashed it into a house after leaving the line and jumping over a street.
Luckily no one except the unidentified woman was hurt. It was early in the morning so there were no other passengers on the train and no one in the house was in the line of fire.
