South Africa’s state owned electricity provider Eskom leads by example in this cool advertising campaign. It’s always good to practice what one’s preaching, especially if it’s done in such a powerful way.
A four-metre python exploded when it tried to swallow a two-metre alligator whole in Florida.
Scientists have documented four encounters between the giant snakes and alligators in the last three years.
While the gator may have been injured before the battle began, wounds were found on it that apparently were not caused by python bites. Frank Mazzotti, a University of Florida wildlife professor, believes it was alive when the battle began. And it may have clawed at the python’s stomach as the snake tried to digest it, leading to the blow-up. The python was found with the gator’s hindquarters protruding from its midsection. Its stomach still surrounded the alligator’s head, shoulders, and forelimbs.

Great photo, despite it seems fake. I’m an amateur scuba diver and I don’t want to imagine posing for this photo!
This is a great mini documentary, about Kimi Raikkonen and F1 in Finland. It’s an English subtitled Brazilian production, created after the win of Kimi in the incident-packed 2007 Brazilian Grand Prix at Interlagos. This victory gave Kimi the title of F1 World Champion for the season 2006-2007.
A must for F1 and Raikkonen’s funs.
The Ministry of Defense has unveiled a prototype F-35 joint strike helmet that will “enable fighter jet pilots to see through their own aircraft.” The head gear being developed for the hi-tech F-35 Joint Strike Fighter(JSF) is currently being tested by MoD scientists at Boscombe Down in Wiltshire.
It will superimpose infra-red imagery on to the visor to allow the pilot to look through the cockpit floor at night and see the world below - like something out of Terminator.
The head gear, currently at prototype stage, is being developed by Vision Systems International and Helmet Integrated Systems Limited.
This is surely, the scariest helmet ever.
