9,000 Miles To The Gallon - WOW!

amazing-gas-mileage

The Microjoule competition car is an amazingly green vehicle that can "make the journey between New York and Los Angeles over three times on just one gallon of gas."

It has won Shell's Eco-Marathon every time since the car's original inception in 1992. "Amazingly the Microjoule doesn't have any fancy tricks — it's just an aerodynamic, lightweight one-seater that runs off gasoline, but runs for a long time."

Wow! That's nearly 9,000 miles on a single gallon of gas.
I want that car!!

The solar halos on these images were stacked from several photos.
I thought it looked pretty cool.

The LEGO Beijing Olympics

A team of LEGO and sports enthusiasts presented a LEGO model of some of the buildings built by the Chinese for the 2008 Olympic Games. The model was presented in Hong Kong and includes small scale replicas of buildings such as Bird’s Nest stadium, Water Cube swimming center and the Olympic Village.

The LEGO Beijing Olympics were created by members of the Hong Kong LEGO users group and took more than 100 hours to complete. Great effort, the model looks amazing.

Singapore Airlines A380

This is called travelling “in Royal style”.

The first Air Bus A380 aircraft was delivered to Singapore Airlines months ago and their maiden flight was from Singapore to Sydney, Australia and the ticket was $10,000. All 455 tickets were sold in no time and all proceeds from it went to charity.
