For all those looking for a private jet and not looking to break
the bank, the HondaJet should definitely be in contention for your aviational
needs. The HondaJet is the fastest and most fuel efficient aircraft in its
class with a 420 knot cruise speed, a range of 1180 nautical miles, and a 30-35
percent better fuel efficiency at cruise speed versus other jets of comparable
performance. HondaJet’s cabin is the clincher as it sets a new standard for
interior space and comfort being longer than even larger ‘light jet’ offerings
with space for a fully-private lavatory and a 57-cubic foot aft cargo hold.

Doomsday Scenarios: 13 Ways The World Could End Today
Original source : http://www.trutv.com
"One nuclear bomb can ruin your whole day." It was
true back in the late 1950s, and it's just as true now. The world could end at
any moment thanks to the countless nukes out there, just lying around.
According to a 2010 Ploughshares Fund report, 22,000 active nuclear warheads
are scattered around the globe. And that number doesn't include smaller - and
therefore more susceptible to theft - nuclear weapons like atomic artillery
shells and bunker busters. In truth, we're still exactly where we've been for
the past 70 years: one international argument away from the end of the world.

The 5 Most Obviously Drug-Fueled TV Appearances Ever

5. Crispin Glover on Letterman
Date: July 28, 1987
Evidence: The first symptom is the wig. We're not sure what George McFly's hair looked like prior to this interview, but we're pretty certain it didn't look like that. Then there's the clothing. He's dressed in striped pants, a heinous purple shirt and a pair of black platform shoes that don't appear to fit him. Keep in mind that this is '87, not the early '70s. If you're wearing what Crispin Glover is wearing during this interview, then you've clearly been high long enough to have gone shoe shopping while f**ked up. As far as behavioral symptoms, we're not really sure how to describe what Glover is doing here. At first he seems to be terrified of Dave and the audience, but then he challenges Letterman to an arm wrestling match and tries to jump-kick him in the head.
Drug(s) They Were Probably On: Difficult to tell. At first it seems like a classic acid freak-out. He is looking at Dave like he has three heads and the audience like they're a big tangled lizard orgy. But then he starts getting physically aggressive. Our theory: a second drug along the lines of PCP, taken right before he went out, kicked in halfway through the interview.

Not even James Bond would scoff at the beautiful Hyper-Sub.
After all, how could he not want to step foot onto a $3.5 million submersible powerboat?
This craft designed by Marion HSPD, will finally be heading to the production
line. Of course $3.5 million may be a tough price tag to cope with, but you’re
getting a rather powerful little toy in exchange. On the powerboat side, it’s a heavy-duty, 31-ft.
surface-cruiser with an enclosed cabin. Powered by twin 440 hp inboard diesels

If you're like most Americans, you've gained about 6 pounds
since Thanksgiving. Each small holiday-season indulgence may have seemed like
no big deal at the time, but added all together, they created the perfect storm
for a juggernaut of jiggle. Don't believe us? Consider the caloric damage of
typical holiday activities - weekly parties, with buffet tables lined with
goodies and treats; cookies and cakes delivered by your well-intentioned neighbors;
and seasonal beverages, from holiday lagers to rum-spiked eggnogs, that had you
washing down those hundreds of extra calories with, well, hundreds of extrea
calories. It’s no wonder the Baby New Year always makes her debut toting a
gargantuan gut. In 2012, vow to eat better - not less, just better. Add these 6 flat-belly foods
for weight loss to your daily (or weekly) diet, and watch as the pounds melt
away.

9 Best Air Purifying Plants

Your home, whether
old or new, could be harboring unhealthy (and invisible) toxins. These chemical
compounds are found in emissions from paint, plastics, carpet, cleaning
solutions, and numerous building materials. Three major pollutants found in the
home include:
Posted : May 2013
Author : The admin
Formaldehyde (carpet,
upholstery, glues, paint, and more)
Benzene (plastics,
synthetic fibers, lubricants, rubber, pesticides, and more)
Trichloroethylene (paint
removers, rug cleaning solution, adhesives, and more)
Despite all these
offenders we are lucky enough to have nature, which has a way of keeping itself
clean. There are many powerful air-cleaning plants that naturally remove
pollutants from the air. We picked nine of our favorites and offer tips on how
to keep them in top working condition.
Tip: In a
2,000 square foot house, bring in 15 to 20 plants in 6-inch pots or larger.
Rather than scattering single plants, create group displays in each room for a
great look and maximum air quality. Adjust accordingly for larger or smaller
homes. Before purchasing, ask about which plants, if ingested, could be harmful
to pets.

As procedural drama
TV shows have taught us, every conviction in the U.S. justice system is the product
of meticulous DNA testing and forced sexual tension among the detectives. But
what happens when the prosecution screws up and the wrong man ends up in jail?
Usually they apologize, set the man free, and try to help everyone move on with
their lives, like the mature, responsible grown-ups they are. Haha, just kidding

The rise of social
media has spawned an outbreak in inconsistent news reporting. In some cases,
celebrities have been given a false death report, which spreads into an Internet
hoax. In the past, when people were confused over a death, a premature obituary
was often published. In other instances, people were wrongly declared dead
after being lost or badly injured. Here are ten individuals that were falsely
reported dead, and went on to live an extended life.

10 Matches Where Pro Wrestling Turned Real
Original source : http://camelclutchblog.com
Posted : April 2013 Author : Eric Gargiulo
Sure we all know the deal about pro wrestling. The cat was
let out of the bag a long time ago. Yet even sometimes the match planned in the
back has taken a serious detour in the ring. Here is a look at ten instances
when the “fake” pro wrestling got very real inside of the ring. Nobody is
trying to insult anyone’s intelligence here with pro wrestling. It’s a work and
that has been documented long enough. But what happens when one wrestler isn’t
playing ball with the other? What happened was chaos, unpredictability,
intensity, and even fear when a planned match turns shoot. You want to see fear
in a pro wrestler’s eyes? Wait until that wrestler realizes his opponent isn’t
pulling punches and you will see some of the biggest, meanest, and intimidating
individuals change their body language immediately. I thought it would be fun
to take a look back at ten matches where one wrestler or promoter went into
business for themselves. It doesn’t happen often in this era of pro wrestling,
but there have been plenty of rogue wrestlers in the past who were interested
in embarrassing, double crossing, or hurting their opponent inside of the ring.
Here are ten famous and some not so famous worked matches turned shoots in pro
wrestling history.

12 Floating Airports
Original source : http://www.oobject.com
Posted :
Author : David Galbraith
I combined two types of concept plan in this list that are
very different but share the fact that they show an alternate universe where airports
weren’t giant fields on the edge of cities.
On the one hand there are the airports that literally float on water, and
although these have become a reality with projects such as Kansai or military aircraft
carriers, some of the original designs are for runways floating on rivers right
in the middle of cities. Here the concept overlaps with the other type of
floating airports: those that metaphorically float above the city on stilts -
or over rather than on a river, via a structure like an overhead railroad.
These concepts are not as unpractical as they appear, by using short-takeoff,
quiet planes, London city airport is very close
to the financial center of London
and its a shame that aircraft haven’t been developed to allow some of these
magnificent, early ambitions to have become a reality.
