Crack In Airplane Window

July 4th 2008 14:31
Crack in airline window....unbelievable!!!!!


This is scary for anyone who travels frequently by plane!!!!
Actual crack in a US Airways DC-9 window frame! Fliers beware of the sub standard maintenance on the airplanes that you fly on. This is an actual crack that was found in the window frame on a DC-9. I'll definitely think twice before flying USAir.

UFOs

April 23rd 2008 09:04
Modern UFO reports began around the time of World War 2. Many tens of thousands of UFO reports have since been made.

UFOs have been spotted in many different places around the world and may later be identified after investigation. About 90% of all UFOs are later identified.
But what about the 10% that remain a mystery? The pictures today show some photos of UFOs from the last couple of years. You can see many more UFO pictures at ufocasebook.com.

Keep Things in Perspective

Keeping things in perspective - it's rather dazzling to see it presented this way.

Earth, Venus, Mars, Mercury, Pluto


All the planets showing relative size. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Earth, Venus, Mars, Mercury, Pluto


Relative size of the sun compared to the planets


Beyond our Sun, it's a big universe...

Sun, Sirius, Pollux, Arcturus - Showing comparative sizes to scale


Sun, Sirius, Pollux, Arcturus, Rigel, Aldebaran, Betelgeuse, Antares


Antares is the 15th brightest star in the sky. It is more than 1000 light years away.


Now try to wrap your mind around this...
This is a Hubble Telescope ultra deep field infrared view of countless entire galaxies billions of light-years away.

OH MY GOD. Look at those gas prices. Funny motivational poster with a jumbo jet that has crash landed in a gas station.
The price of petrol never ceases to amaze!

Fly Powered Plane

July 5th 2007 07:23
Build Your Very Own Powered Model Aircraft. Using a razor blade, carefully split a match. Mare sure that you leave some of the sulphur, as it will be the nose of your aircraft.


Build the frame by gluing match sticks together. You can build a bigger wind of lighter wood and fit even more engines. Use your imagination!


Catch a couple of flies. Put them in a glass pot and put the pot in the freezer. In a couple of seconds the flies will be quite cold and motionless. Don't cool down your engines too much - it will kill them. If you put them in the refrigerator instead, it will take longer.


While you're waiting for your engines to get cold and stiff, drop some contact glue on the places where you want to place your engines.


Take your flies from the refrigerator/freezer. Place them on the pre-fitted glue pools.


Breathe warm air on the flies. A miracle is happening! Your flies that were frozen a moment ago are now coming back to life again.


Start the plane. If you did things correctly, it will fly! Sit back and enjoy watching the happy flies playing with the plane! None of them will have experienced anything like this before. ENJOY!



If you follow these instructions to the letter, this is the result!

Wonder if it actually flies?

Hot Air Balloons

August 17th 2006 06:05
Hot air balloons are the oldest successful human flight technology, dating back to the Montgolfier brothers' invention in Annonay, France in 1783. The first flight carrying humans was made on November 21, 1783, in Paris

Hot air balloon festivals are held annually throughout the year, and give a chance for balloonists to participate in balloon races and display their balloons during evening balloon glows. Balloon festivals are a good opportunity for people to showcase their "special shape" balloons. These hot air balloons use the same principle of lift as conventional inverted teardrop shaped balloons but often sections of the special balloon envelope shape make no contribution to the balloon's ability to stay afloat. They have been produced in great variety and with eye-popping invention and wit, such as the ones pictured below
