Demand for DeLorean cars is so high that it may go back into production, according to a US firm.

I'm a little behind, and they're only going to make like 20-25 cars a year, but sweet.

Wikipedia says they'll retail at a base price of $57,500, start saving your loose change mario!

    Obviously fake, if it was real, there would be DeLoreans from the future, driving around today.

    Naw, it's true:

    New Build DeLoreans

    The "new build" cars are an evolution of our previously available "remanufactured" program. These new build cars are made to order, using a combination of original (NOS) parts from the Ireland factory, original (OEM) parts that we source from the original suppliers to the factory and our growing line of reproduction parts.

    By completing the "New Build" form you'll receive a no-obligation quote as to what your dream DeLorean would cost, and receive further information from a DeLorean Motor Company representative.

    Even if I can't park next to other cars without dinging them opening my doors.

    Speaking of birth, have a kid in Russia, win a car!
    The governor of Ulyanovsk region in Russia is offering prizes to couples who have babies in exactly nine months - on Russia's national day on 12 June.

    Sergei Morozov wants couples to take the day off work to have sex. If a baby is born on national day, they will receive cars, TVs or other prizes.

    What do you propose we do with excess children NOT born on this modest date?
  • mariomario
    edited September 2007
    They're sold to the Russian automotive industry as cheap assembly line labor, and build the future car prizes! It's a perfect system.

    No no, the actual article is about a book coming out. That is what is awesome.

    Seriously, though, all of these are awesome.

    When the monkey woke and found that its body had been switched for a new one, it angrily tracked White with its eyes and snapped at him with its teeth.

    How eerie....

    There's a video of the two-headed dog surgeries. Deeply disturbing... I propose that this had a more appropriate thread!

    I laughed at the last one.
    Deering had volunteered to participate in an experiment, the first of its kind, to have his heartbeat recorded as he was shot through the chest by a firing squad. The prison physician, Dr. Stephen Besley, figured that since Deering was being executed anyway, science might as well benefit from the event.

    I would love to benefit SCIENCE when I die.

    Honeybees gang up to smother deadly hornets

    Bees rock!
  • GarnetGarnet
    edited September 2007
    From that Honey bee Article:
    In the mid-1990s, researchers used thermal imaging equipment and showed that a hornet caught in a ball of Japanese honeybees gets roasted to death by the bees' body heat.

    Wow, I didn't realize honey bees had that kind of power.

    No better time than the present for us to start one! We just need to come up with a good acronym name, like B.E.E.S., or S.T.I.N.G., or something cool like that. The Bees are Especially Excellent Society?

    That's pretty crazy. How does a person even get onto a plane's wing?

    That's the stuff of nightmares, hanging onto the wing of a plane like that.

    Of course, if he did fall off the wing, he could probably land safely on his obviously gigantic balls.
