Children growing up in the early 1900s would have been familiar with the Tom Swift series of books. In the books, the main character Tom Swift made use of a stun gun. When NASA physicist Jack Clover invented the taser, he gave it that name as a nod to the series. TASER actually stands for “Thomas A. Swift’s Electric Rifle.”

Italian police use a Lamborghini to rush a kidney 300 miles in two hours

Quote:

Police in Italy drove like the wind to deliver a donor kidney from Padua to Rome for an emergency transplant. With blue lights ablaze the officers hustled their Lamborghini Huracán down the autostrada at an average speed of almost 150 mph, completing a journey that normally takes six hours in just over 120 minutes.

No helicopters in Italy?
