Did you know . . .
In 1968, Chrysler was having issues with their Hemi powered Chargers in NASCAR. At top speed, the car became unstable due to air getting under the car due to the flat front grille (Charger 500). Plus Chrysler was convinced the car could go faster if it could "cut" through the air better. Chrysler Racing called in some engineers, including a few recent transplants from their missile division, and asked what they could do to make the cars go faster and handle better at higher speeds. "Put a nosecone on it" . . . http://s24.postimg.cc/rkvdjq6lh/307240_Berserker.jpg |

http://s26.postimg.cc/cs43mud49/mump...350_engine.jpg one of the 11 1966 GT 350's that had a factory installed Paxton Supercharger: The Monte Carlo Bar was standard on the 1966 GT 350 with a Paxton. As the engine developes more horsepower, the body starts to twist. The Monte Carlo Bar helped control this. The designers of the 1964 Mustang Sportsroof never envisioned a 350+ hp engine in the engine bay. |

If you live in the U.S. and are enjoying rice with your dinner tonight, there’s a good chance that it was grown in Arkansas. As the country’s leading producer of the popular grain, the state is responsible for around half of all American rice. |

Each day on Earth is around 24 hours. But when our planet was first formed, a day was just six hours long. That’s due to the fact that the Earth used to spin much faster. According to NASA, our days get 0.0017 seconds longer every 100 years. |

Seasons on other planets are very different from seasons on Earth—and that’s certainly true when it comes to Uranus, where each season lasts 21 years due to the fact that the planet’s axis is tilted 98 degrees. |

Mobile, Alabama, holds the title of the wettest city in the contiguous United States, thanks to the average 67 inches of rain it gets each year over the course of an average of 59 rainy days. Pensacola, Florida, and New Orleans, Louisiana, come in second and third for their rainfall. |

As far as national security goes, songs are typically fairly harmless. But back in the 1960s, parents across the country became upset by a rumor that claimed the song “Louie Louie” by The Kingsmen contained inappropriate subliminal messages. The FBI stepped in and spent more than two years putting the tune through various audio tests. And despite producing a 120-page report, the feds merely concluded that the song is “unintelligible at any speed.” |

Scientists still aren’t sure how, but crocodiles managed to outlive dinosaurs by 65 million years. In fact, crocodiles have always been so well-designed for survival, that modern crocodiles are hardly different than those found in fossils. Just a few theories about how they’ve managed to survive so long are based on crocodiles’ ability to go long periods without eating, their ability to survive in land and water, and the fact that they can adjust to cold temperatures easily. |

I noticed that too. The grain in the concrete in the background is way out of proportion. Look at the antenna, it looks too fat. The finish on the paint has a different look to it too.
