Insaine accident

I found this just by accident, but i thought that this was insane. Seriously how the hell does something like this happen. I’m just amazed that the car didn’t fall over.

Most intense laser in the universe

 This is just to sweet to pass up so I had to post this. Operantly the University of Mich. created the most powerful laser EVER!

Rest assured, we’ve seen some wicked frickin’ lasers in our day, but apparently, even the two-kilowatt rendition that heats coffee in mere seconds can’t hold a candle ray of light to HERCULES. Intentionally named in all caps by University of Michigan gurus in order to highlight its awesomeness, said laser contains 300 terawatts of power (or 300 times the capacity of the entire US electricity grid) and could “help scientists develop better proton and electron beams for radiation treatment of cancer.” Still, we can’t help but conclude with UMich’s own description of this masterpiece: “If you could hold a giant magnifying glass in space and focus all the sunlight shining toward Earth onto one grain of sand, that concentrated ray would approach the intensity of [HERCULES].” Damn.

last lunar eclipse until December 2010

“It will be the last lunar eclipse until December 2010, and it should be spectacular. Shades of turquoise and red will pour over the moon’s surface as it moves into the Earth’s shadow around 8:43pm EST. As NASA reports: ‘Transiting the shadow’s core takes about an hour. The first hints of red appear around 10 pm EST (7 pm PST), heralding a profusion of coppery hues that roll across the Moon’s surface enveloping every crater, mountain and moon rock, only to fade away again after 11 pm EST (8 pm PST). No special filter or telescope is required to see this spectacular event. It is a bright and leisurely display visible from cities and countryside alike. While you’re watching, be alert for another color: turquoise. Observers of several recent lunar eclipses have reported a flash of turquoise bracketing the red of totality … The source of the turquoise is ozone.’ So, all of you amateur astronomers need to get out there and take pictures. It might be worthwhile sharing them on sites like SpaceWeather or Flickr so that our Asian, European, African, and Australian brethren can witness the sight as well.

Introduction

This is basically a short summery on what this is. There really is no common theme here, just stuff I find interesting on the web and things that I think are amusing and sometimes just weird. I’ll be posting stories, links, videos, pictures and anything else i find on the web that I like.
