Saddam Husseins Roller on eBay

Someone is importing Saddam’s Rolls Royce Corniche Convertible from Iraq to Britain and is selling it on eBay. The page on eBay even goes so far as to give a brief history on the ‘ol dictator.

T’pol

T’Pol is the first Vulcan officer to serve a prolonged term on a human vessel. The previous record was 10 days; by comparison, T’Pol served aboard the Enterprise for ten years (2151-2161). As a Sub-Commander serving the Vulcan High Command, she was stationed aboard the Enterprise in April 2151, as an observer to Captain Jonathan Archer and his crew, whom the High Command insisted were not ready for interstellar space exploration. After the success of the Enterprise’s initial mission led to the vessel being given an extended exploration mandate, T’Pol requested to stay aboard.

T’Pol remained aboard the Enterprise despite several attempts by her superiors to recall her to Vulcan. T’Pol’s decision brought considerable scrutiny upon her from her superiors, and increasing support for her from her captain; she ultimately resigned from the High Command and accepted a field commission from Starfleet in 2154, resulting in her being given the Starfleet field rank of Commander.

The Tata Nano… the $2500 Car from India

The Tata Nano is a proposed city car †a small, affordable, rear-engined, four-passenger car aimed primarily at the Indian market †first presented by India’s Tata Motors at the 9th annual Auto Expo on January 10, 2008 at Pragati Maidan in New Delhi, India.

Tata targets the vehicle as the least expensive production car in the world †aiming for a starting price of 100,000 rupees or approximately $2300 US.

Newsweek identifies the Nano as a part of a “new breed of 21st-century cars” that embody “a contrarian philosophy of smaller, lighter, cheaper” and portend a new era in inexpensive personal transportation †and potentially, “global gridlock” . The Wall Street Journal confirms a global trend toward small cars, which includes the Nano.

The prefix “Nano” derives from the Greek root ‘nanos’, meaning dwarf †as with nanometre. “Nano” also means “small” in Gujarati, the native language of the Tata family, founders of the Tata Group.

More Pictures from Meramec Springs

Some more pictures I took.. I really like the closeup macro on my camera (in case you haven’t seen me state that the other million times I have…) The only issue I have with it, is it likes to focus in on one small area, for detail and tends to blur the rest. Either way, these aren’t bad for 7MP shots. I had to resize each one to ~50% of it’s original size in order to upload to M[C]S.

My Girlfriend Sent Me Apple Pie… in the Mail

Gift From Glasgow 01

Consultant Jeff Downie revealed that, on average, staff at Glasgow’s Southern General Hospital are stitching up one slashed youngster every SIX HOURS.

And he fumed: “Kids at this age should be worried about pimples but instead have horrible scars across their entire face.

And it seems no one is safe from the rising tide of violence. Jeff told us: “Recently I treated a lad who’d just come to Glasgow to study. He was jumped and slashed in the face. He’s scarred for life.

Restored: First Image of the Earth from the Moon

Explanation: Pictured above is the first image ever taken of the Earth from the Moon. The image was taken in 1966 by Lunar Orbiter 1 and heralded by then-journalists as the Image of the Century. It was taken about two years before the Apollo 8 crew snapped its more famous color cousin. Recently, modern technology has allowed the recovery of higher resolution images from old data sources such as Lunar Orbiter tapes than ever before. Specifically, recovery of the above image was initiated 20 years ago by Nancy Evans, and completed recently by Dennis Wingo and Keith Cowing who lead the Lunar Orbiter Image Recovery Project. Images like that above carry more than aesthetic value — comparison to recent high definition images of the Moon enables investigations into how the Moon has been changing.

Drying Mud, Sidoarjo, East Java, Indonesia

Mud baking in the hot Indonesian sun nearly reached the rooflines in a village in Sidoarjo, East Java. In 2006, a fracture deep within the Earth, likely caused by local natural-gas drilling, triggered a massive release of hot mud that lasted for months and buried the region.

Anticrepuscular Rays Over Colorado

Explanation: What’s happening over the horizon? Although the scene may appear somehow supernatural, nothing more unusual is occurring than a setting Sun and some well placed clouds. Pictured above are anticrepuscular rays. To understand them, start by picturing common crepuscular rays that are seen any time that sunlight pours though scattered clouds. Now although sunlight indeed travels along straight lines, the projections of these lines onto the spherical sky are great circles. Therefore, the crepuscular rays from a setting (or rising) sun will appear to re-converge on the other side of the sky. At the anti-solar point 180 degrees around from the Sun, they are referred to as anticrepuscular rays. Pictured above is a particularly striking set of anticrepuscular rays photographed in 2001 from a moving car just outside of Boulder, Colorado, USA.

Transformer Motorcycle

I was going through some images from January 2006 and found these. My buddy from Ireland came to visit that month and brought this to me for Christmas. 🙂

It’s some generic transformer toy but the fact that it’s supposed to be the motorcycle I owned at the time makes it pretty kewl.

Tree Frog, Pacific Islands

A tree frog shows off its broad and effective grip while clinging to a tree trunk in the Pacific Islands. Frogs—particularly tropical species—are vanishing at alarming rates, in part due to disease epidemics attributed to climate change. Amphibian skin is incredibly thin, making frogs acutely susceptible to changes in temperature, humidity, or water quality.
