Ukrainian logging truck action



This Ukrainian logging truck looks like it took the corner just a bit too fast on Sunday. Reports say that the truck's brakes had failed and that the accident was unavoidable.

The Engineer speaks! teaser clip from the Prometheus Blu-Ray



The Engineer speaks! Watch this short video preview of the deleted scene where the Engineer speaks with David in Engineerese (I guess). So, any guesses as to what he`s saying, I`m thinking it`s bad news (don`t want to ruin it for those that haven`t seen the movie).

Sounds a bit like me ordering for last call.

We`ll all know soon, October 9th can`t come soon enough.

This is what happens when you expose 1500 ping pong balls to liquid nitrogen



This is pretty fun to watch. Watch Plymouth University professor Roy Lowry demonstrate what happens when you try to contain liquid nitrogen when it's trying to returning to its gaseous state. Skip to 3:15 if you can`t wait to see what happens.

Ain`t science fun?
