You Wear It Well, Daddy-o! Project Runway has nothing on these dapper gents! Put yer eye on some of the worst men’s fashion disasters of all time! Funny thing is, these horribly dressed guys actually wore these clothes in public!  Forget the Best Dressed lists!  I’m loving the Worst Dressed!  These Male Fashionistas got it going on big time! The Day Nike Sales Plummeted… That poor dog… That poor, poor dog… I’ve heard of wearing your heart on your sleeve but this is ridiculous! What do you do with that old couch from the 1070’s?

If you have ev er watched the movie, Cast Away, you would know that how Tom Hank spent long time on a deserted island. Here is a similar story about Adam Jones, who spent almost 9 years being trapped on a deserted island, but with the help of Google Earth, he was rescued recently! Here is how he spent 9 years there!Adam Jones set off for a journey in 2006, along with his 2 friends, starting from Liverpool, their home, to Hawaii. In between they had to cross Atlantic Ocean and the Panama Canal. As they reached in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, a monstrous storm struck their boat violently, and damaged it along with their electronic equipment. His friends went overboard while Adam was knocked by the storm unconscious for about 17 days, and he kept drifting in the ocean. Adam spent 2 weeks on his boat but he built on his own the water trapping contrivance on it, and this way he saved a lot of water whenever it rained. At first he built a makeshift shelter out of boat debris, but it was

5 Of The Dumbest Things People Brought To The Auto Shop

It's common to hear horror stories about people who have had terrible experiences with mechanics. Complaints about being swindled, cheated, over overcharged are common, but what about mechanics who have had to deal with dumb customers? Some people deal with car troubles their own way, ignoring warnings from their vehicle or using duct tape to fix the problem, leaving mechanics scratching their heads. There's the Problem The owner of this Volkswagen Jetta came to the conclusion that they were dealing with an air leak, so they wrapped their airflow meter and intake hose with tape. It wasn't duct tape and easily removed, but the mechanic wasn't happy about having to fiddle with this. #1 Gliding on the Highway Turning on this tire must have been like riding a slip and slide. Driving on a completely worn tire is more than dangerous, as they are easily punctured or can cause a loss of of vehicle control (braking, spin outs, etc.). #2 More Cowbell If this was a prank: genius.

#1. Giant Solar Flares NASA predicts a massive 2013 solar flare will fire towards the globe. We all love the sun, but this flame thrower is waiting to hurl unprecedented levels of magnetic energy at us. A major solar flare would drown the earth with high energy particles and radiation. The results of such an overexposure to cosmic energy would be lethal. Take a lesson from the bee, when you mess with magnetic energy, you’re asking for trouble. A giant solar flare could impact each of our individual brain activity. With additional natural disasters triggered, global power outages, and inevitable wide-spread panic, you may want to stock up on some 5 Hour Energy shots. This will be no time for a foggy head. #2. Soaring Sea Levels A steady increase in the planet's temperature will result in melting huge glaciers. Sea levels will rise and result in dangerous flooding of coasts across the globe. And that's just with modest glacial melting. If the West Antarctic Ice Sheet were to go d

For USA: BMW Two-Man Bobsled

Image
You may remember last year BMW announced they are designing a new high-tech bobsled for USA Bobsled & Skeleton Federation (USBSF). Now the first prototype is ready, and it’s looking quite fancy. Well, fancy as far as bobsleds go. Featuring a unique carbon fiber construction from the firm’s ‘i’ division, BMW bobsled is designed, like their cars, for optimum handling. Compared to the bobsleds, the BMW model is lighter, it has a lower center of gravity, and better aerodynamic characteristics. So it should be faster and handle the track better. They are still testing and developing the prototype, but it’ll be ready in time for the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games. “After more than a year-long development process, we’re thrilled for the USA Bobsled and Skeleton Federation to finally race this bobsled,” said Michael Scully, Creative Director, BMW Group DesignworksUSA, BMW Group’s international design and creative consultancy. “BMW EfficientDynamics techniques are at the heart of the sled’
