Again Super Strength only this time it's really super. The Horned Dung Beetle can move a dung ball 40 times his weight 75 yards which is the equivalent of a human pushing a car across a football field.

Archerfish are masters at knocking insect prey off their leaves so they fall into the water where the fish can eat them. How far? Up to 10 feet away. Coupled with their ability to gauge where their prey are (refraction of light through water changes where something is to eyes in the water.)

I am sitting about 50 feet away from this car as I type this.

1955 Buick Special 2-door Riviera Hardtop

In 1955 and 1956, the hot-sellling Buick division briefly joined Ford and Chevrolet as the third member of the Big Three.

In the glory years of the Motor City, the sales leaders of the industry—Chevrolet, Ford, and Plymouth—were known as the Big Three, and it was for good reason. Year in and year out, they typically towered over the other carmakers in volume, and very seldom were any of the three brands toppled from their perches. But in 1955, GM’s Buick division managed to pull it off, grabbing third place away from Plymouth.

What If . . .

She’s super gentle, and doesn’t get overly excited. She enjoys eating earthworms, fruits and vegetables, and slowly moving around her tank. Her favorite food – at least for what is in season now – figs.

If Methuselah sounds like a grand old dame, it’s because she is: the fish is the oldest living specimen in captivity, aged somewhere upwards of 92 and potentially as high as 101 years. She arrived on a steamship from Australia along with 230 other fishes to the Steinhart aquarium in San Francisco in 1938 as a young, small fish. And Methuselah’s story unfolded in a typical way, for a fish in an aquarium: she grew. Humans came to look at her. She peered back through glass at humans.

Then there is Methuselah, who is no ordinary fish. She’s the only fish still living from the steamship. And most importantly, she’s a lungfish – a species more closely related to humans or cows than to ray-finned fish like salmon or cod – which can breathe air using a single lung when streams become stagnant, or when water quality changes. Lungfish are also believed to be an example of the original creatures that crawled out of water and moved to land in evolutionary history. The species was discovered 1870 – and the scientist who first described the fish originally thought it was an amphibian.

This is what Mercury should have done for the 69 and 70 Cougar Eliminators: Engine Callouts on the fender. You got the 351/4V std. Boss 302 and 428 CJ were optional. How much would a set of decals cost? Pennies in the quantities they needed.

Almost. Chrysler used two different master cylinders: one for FDB as shown and the other for drum. This application should have both the cover and bale painted black.

P-39s crowded on the ramp outside Bell’s factory in Buffalo, New York awaiting final assembly, 1941

This reminds me of an incident that took place while I was working in Buffalo.

I had called on Bell/Textron a number of times and had a good feeling about getting my foot in the door. They were a very loyal IBM account. Their computer room was one of a kind.

Mainframes are huge and because they carry sensitive data thee computer room are built away from prying eyes. But not Bell. They spent a lot of money and wanted to show off their expenditures to the public. The room was right next to the lobby and one wall of the room was glass. About 70 feet of it. The only thing separating the room from the outside environment was that glass. And it wasn't special glass like HERCULITE ARMORED GLASS. Just plain old double pane.

Buffalo gets lots of storms and definitely lots of snow but one thing it didn't get was large hail. Until it did - golf ball sized hail which broke about 40 feet of the glass exposing the computer room to the storm and the outside elements.

I had heard about the incident from a friend of mine who couldn't keep a smirk off his face. "How stupid do you have to be to build your computer room in that fashion?" His was in the basement.

There is much debate over who holds the title for fastest-swimming fish in the ocean. Perhaps because it is a challenge to measure. Some experts believe the sailfish holds the title with speeds of up to 126 km/h (78 mph), or a maximum acceleration speed of 1.79 G. But, according to research by the Large Pelagics Research Center, the bluefin tuna far exceeded the sailfish’s record, hitting a maximum acceleration of 3.27 G or 232 km/h (144 mph).

Big eyes are helpful for animals who need to see in the dark depths of the ocean. So, it may not come as a surprise that the colossal squid has the largest animal eyes ever studied. According to the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, the eyes of a colossal squid “measure about 27 cm [11 in.] across—about the size of a soccer ball.”

The Japanese spider crab is the world's largest living crab, with a leg span of up to 12.5 feet and a weight of up to 40 pounds.

I was just thinking that crustaceans have got to be the ugliest species of oceanics, then you come to find out they could be 12 feet span and it literally made me shake a bit.
