If you’re an unexperienced driver, it’s not worth getting in one of the world’s top cars and taking it for a test drive. Get a look at how this noob driver handles a $1.4 million Bugatti Veyron.

A Utah-based company is now six years into the development of a unique robot that fits around its user so that it literally mimics every movement of its human commander.
Imagine stepping inside a robotic system that fits around your body like an exoskeleton. It allows soldiers to become almost superhuman in strength and stamina.
In this case, whatever the soldier needs to do, the exoskeleton follows his or her exact moves.
The prototype designed and built by SARCOS is going to become even more polished and sophisticated within the next five years.

Take a look at the table below to see how the pots shape up before the last matchday. Only the values for the first 14 countries are 99% correct (I would say 100% correct, but you never know), being based on official data released by FIFA. The other values are computed using historical rankings, different from the ones used by FIFA. But they’re pretty close to the official values and will help you see what pot your country will end up in.
The third column contains the number of points after the November 17th matches.

Sandy Miranto is alive because of her two sons, 12-year-old Jaime and 7-year-old Jayden.
It started out as one of those routine moments in life, the devoted mother grabbed her keys and put her four kids in the car. She was taking her son Jaime to play street hockey.
Jayden Miranto describes what happened when they got in the car, “We back up and she just puts her hand on her head says ‘ow’ and then her head just goes down.” Sandy slumped over the steering wheel. The car was still rolling down the driveway.
“I put my hand on the pedal and turned off the car,” says Jaime Miranto calmly.
He says he didn’t think, just acted. His foot could not reach the pedal, so he climbed down and used his hand to press the brake. Then, he shut off the car and yelled for brother Jayden to call 911.
Jaime ran to a neighbor’s house, who called an ambulance. Then, together they moved Sandy out of the car and Jayden brought his 3-year-old twin sisters in the house.

This video shows a little about how they can adapt to almost any environment. They were proven to be the smartest Bird ..fact!
Sad to say, but that crow is smarter than half of the people who work for the government.
Watch this amazing clip from the David Attenboroughs documentary “Life of Crows†Crows have learned to drop nuts on the street below them so that cars will run over them to crack them open – so they can then eat them!

Remember in the beginning of Empire Strikes Back, when Luke Skywalker is in danger of freezing to death on the ice planet Hoth and must use his lightsaber to cut open the belly of the Tauntaun he’d been riding, so he could crawl inside for warmth and shelter? Yeah, well next week on Man vs Wild, Bear Grylls straight up does that, but with a camel, in the desert, using his hunting knife (and he even does Skywalker one better by eating some of the raw camel fat). May the force be with you not throwing up as you watch this.
Wtfmenlol!!

At first Ididn’t know if to believe this one or not, but see it for yourself.
SOME VIEWERS MAY FIND THIS FOOTAGE DISTURBING: An Indonesian fisherman with tree-like growths covering his body has been given hope of recovery by a US doctor.
But after seeing this video I have one conclusion: No, that can’t be real, otherwise he would not have been able to get on the clothes he was wearing. The sleeves and pant legs would not have let his hands and feet through.
Telegraph has covered the story a few days ago. Maybe we can spot some zippers around there? They have better quality video & images. I’m looking forward to see the entire video on Discovery, maybe this question about his clothes will give us a better answer. 😉

A cat is baffling his owner by wandering off at night before expecting to be collected by car every morning at exactly the same time and place.
Sgt Podge, a Norwegian Forest Cat, disappears from his owner’s home in Talbot Woods, Bournemouth, every night.
The next morning, the 12-year-old cat can always be found in exactly the same place, on a pavement about one and a half miles away.
A routine has now become established, where each morning she takes her son to school before driving to collect Sgt Podge from the pavement between 0800 and 0815 GMT. The cat is even picked up on weekends.
